Read on why I switched to Google’s Nexus One. Not saying I would not use the iPhone x.x version in the future, but for now, Nexus One fits me like a glove.

iPhone 3G Cases – Several good options
I’m not a clumsy person, but from time to time I would drop my shiny gadgets, that includes my new iPhone 3G. While cases probably won’t do much to protect the phone when dropping it into a pool, but at least it will give a little resistance to scratches.
Belkin Slim-Fit is on the top of the list. It has slim profile design and features shock-absorbent padding (which is good if I dropped it on the hard concrete). It’s top aligned with the iPhone speaker, so if you are in a noisy place, your iPhone 3G’s ring will be quite loud compared to those cases with closed top (covering the iPhone speaker).
Week one iPhone 3G hands-on
After using it for a week, I have come to conclusion that the iPhone 3G is not quite what I expected to be (in not so great way). There are many shortcomings on it including battery life and lack of copy and paste functionality. While not all Apple’s fault, 3rd party applications need tighter quality control; many applications are crashing too frequently.
Apple said copy and paste function are not on their priority to-do list – without this feature, the iPhone 3G will not be suitable for writing documents, thus we won’t be seeing mobile office suite for it anytime soon.
Apple did publish a guide to conserve battery, but it contradicted the purpose of getting iPhone 3G – suggesting users to save battery life by disabling the 3G connection and use EDGE instead. I found this recommendation quite funny, especially for those who have 3G coverage.
iPhone 3G Reviews on SlashGear – Activation Nightmare for Some people
The iPhone 3G is here and almost everyone on R3 gets one. Vince, Chris, Scott, and me gets the black iPhone 3G while Satsuki gets the white one. We have posted an iPhone 3G review at SlashGear – Japanese readers can see the quick hands-on video on SlashGear Japan.
We encountered problem activating the iPhone due to iTunes inability to connect to its server, but we managed to get it done in the same afternoon of the launch day. AT&T did not handles everything very well in regards of activation. Many users are left blind by AT&T to figure out themselves what to do next when they were sent home without an active iPhone 3G.
I spoke to one customer in an AT&T store at Denton and he said he was confused on what to do next as he never uses iTunes before, which I understand because not everyone that buys iPhone are tech savvy. AT&T should have send those customers that could not be activated in store home with a guide or solid instructions on how to activate the iPhone 3G themselves.
We will be posting iPhone 3G reviews on iPhoneBuzz and PhoneMag soon from a different user perspective. So check back shortly!

Vince aside from being the usual media-whore and mogger, he has gotten his iPhone an hour earlier than mine. He was camping out at the 5th ave Apple store in NY. Check out his first look on iPhone.
