You have an iPad too, right? You're an Apple fanatic and don't know it, HA! ;) I kid, of course--really this whole post is tongue-in-cheek, since it's pretty ridiculous to complain that the uber-popular and amazing smartphone I just got for free wasn't the uber-popular and amazing smartphone I would have chosen for myself. :)
Thanks for the tips on apps! Since I've had my Android tablets for some time, I'm not exactly starting from scratch in terms of what I want and like. So, much of what you mentioned I'm familiar with and already installed. Google stuff, weather (though I like the Accuweather app myself), Pandora and Spotify. I also installed the SiriusXM app--my car has Sirius but the van doesn't, and I've been wanting to add it, so trying out Sirius' Internet radio over the mobile seems worth a try.
I keep meaning to get back into geocaching and I keep not doing it! Which app do you have for that? On Android I like one called c:geo, but there's not an iOS version. Most of what I saw (like the official geocaching.com app) are pricey, but I did come across one called Geo Bucket that looked good. I'll have to check it out and see how it is.
The cameras on my BlackBerry phones were truly awful, so cell phone photography is a new game for me. I guess I should eb glad for the iPhone since it seems to have the best camera among smartphones! I installed Instagram, I'll have to check that out and add you if I get it set up. I wouldn't mind a Project 365 app, since I'll have the phone with me most everywhere I go. The Video 2 Photo thing sounds like a good one to have as well. Yay for new toys!
