I got the iPhone 3G about a month after it was released. I was a 3 year long user of the Blackberry and was still using my Blackberry 7100G. I never thought I’d do away with my Crackberry. It was my lifeline. I found though, after purchasing the iPhone that the only thing I really missed about the Blackberry was BB Messenger. I’ve since gotten over this. My iPhone is with me at all times and has even been the cause of drama in my relationship and work! I’ve gotten so much better about it, though. My Gmail goes straight to my iPhone. I use the MySpace and Facebook apps religiously. My home page includes a direct link to CNN, my YouTube, LiveJournal, Twitterific, and WeatherBug apps. I swear by Crash Kart when I’m trying to get my fiance’s children to settle down. For football season (Go Bucs!) I love using Pro Football. I’ve recently developed an addiction to Storm8 strategy games. I use MMS Rescue which I love (the 30% of the time it actually works). When I’m really bored, other games like Wurdle, Word Warp, and Flood-It! are favorites of mine. I have not called a movie theater ever since I downloaded Now Playing. Then there are the really cool music apps Pandora, the internet radio and Shazam, the app that let’s you put the microphone up to a song playing and it tells you what song it is and by what artist! Most recently, I’ve downloaded Loopt – a stalkerish Facebook linked app but I haven’t been able to use it yet.

The ease of use of the iPhone is so simplistic, my 3 year old, soon-to-be-stepson, Stevie, and 5 year old soon-to-be-stepdaughter, Skyler love playing with it, and taking pictures. Granted, they’re not the best photographers in the world, but they try. I honestly don’t know what I would do without my iPhone. I’d go through some serious withdrawal, perhaps foaming at the mouth and having seizures. It is so much worse than my Blackberry addiction by far. I still love RIM, but until they can compete with the web browsing of the iPhone, I won’t be coming back! Besides, it’s the 1st Apple product I’ve been able to afford since my parents got me an Apple IIC at a yard sale when I was a little kid. Unfortunately, all I could really play on that thing was Strip Poker and I’m not sure my parents even knew that those pixelated boobies were on there. I’m sure I had some other games, but for some reason unbeknownst to me, that’s the one that stands out in my mind.

I know with the new software, there are so many new apps that I’m just dying to try out. Does anyone have any apps they can recommend to me and the rest of the world? Please comment and let me know!
