That is a very good friend of mine, who goes by the name of Waris Jain. What is even more important are those things he has in his hand. Now, don’t get me wrong. He DOES NOT own 2 iPhones. The other one belongs to his Dad’s friend. But still, I was never one opposed to my type of ‘eye candy’ (NOT Waris! Hehe).
I have had the opportunity to work on that piece of art several times over the past few months. Thing is, I’m not that kind of semi-friend, who get’s jealous at the slightest invitation. More of the ‘great one, dude’ kinda guys. Waris, great one… There have already been way too many (impersonal) posts about the iPhone, here’s one based on personal experience…
The first thing you’ll notice when someone hands you one is…Wow (not the Windows Vista one, but a truly genuine one) The styling is impeccable, you will definitely love the bright screening staring out of the glossy finish. Although a smudge magnet (too cheesy, but forgive me…) it can be forgiven. Then you’ll begin to use it. The thing you should notice is the slick interface. No delay when changing between menus. Also, the glossy build is reflected in the interface, with the GUI (read Graphical User Interface) seeming pretty neat. Lovely gradients.
I called him quite a number of times in November concerning our Code Wars video, and the sound quality was pretty nice. I liked that quite a lot, except for the fact that once in a while I used to hear echoes of my own voice. I played music, and it sounded great, although the speaker phone could do with a bit of improvement. The video quality was superb. Really good. Plus, you do get to flaunt the iPhone, holding it horizontally in your palm (did that during RoboKnights). The storage is enough to store quite a few videos plus a few movies.
I didn’t get a chance to personally try out the WiFi, but from what Waris has told me, it’s pretty good. The camera without video recording (till the recent hack) or zoom, can only be rated as so-so. Typing can be a problem, but once you get used to it, it’s a piece of cake. Or so Waris tells me. Angling the fingers becomes a problem.
Anyway … Cool phone, Waris!
