Follow-up: iPhone

Well - I do have some more feedback on the iPhone. In
regard to 3G, I was given the wrong information by O2
at the store - my SIM card was not
sufficient. I had to get to new SIM card sent through
by O2. I finally realised that in a place where other
had 3G I did not and checking on the coverage map
there was something not right.
In terms of Apps in the App Store, things have both improved in that many of the Apps are of higher quality but the sheer number of apps makes it difficult to find something suitable. I confess to having a number of apps that are no longer on the iPhone - I have tried a number of RSS readers and I have returned to Google Reader (ie via Safari) as I want to maintain that read count etc. across the various machines I use. The few I tried were either a) only the first import of feeds - Mainfest b) used Newsgator (NetNewsWire) which didn’t seem to sync that well across my platforms - which is also why I still use Google Reader on my Mac and XP laptops.
Am I still happy with the iPhone? In the main yes I am. I do wish for more integration between some apps - even the Apple included ones - eg I do find reusing a sent email to send to someone else very hard to remove the superfluous text. I also wish that O2 would get more coverage for even EDGE nevermind 3G.
