It’s been a week since I said goodbye to Verizon and switched to the iPhone, so I would like to take a moment to give my first week’s opinion about my new toy. For this post I’ll focus solely on the iPhone itself by giving my impression of the hardware and software the phone has. I’ll be publishing two more posts discussing the iPhone apps and iPhone accessories I’ve been playing with in the next few days.

As I write this review of sorts I’m going to stay away from elaborating on any of the normally lauded features. If you’re anything like me, then you know what big item features comes in an iPhone 3GS. This post should give a more personal understanding of what owning this device is like to someone who only has read about the iPhone.

Dear Verizon,

Unfortunately there isn’t an easy way to say this so I’m just going to get it over with. You know band-aid style, right off.

I’m breaking up with you.

As you and I are both aware, my two-year contract ended with you today and I’m leaving you for someone else.
