Brandon and Lindsey seem to have some sort of cell-phone-destructive gene, so they have rotated through many phones; sometimes they’ve traded with friends who upgraded their own phones, and for a while Lindsey was without a phone as she saved up money for a new one after her “old” one broke. (“Old” in quotes because it really wasn’t.) Ken has upgraded a couple of times — but has managed not to break any phones. But for the past six years, I have kept my simple little phone — mostly because I just refused to buy a new one until my old one no longer functioned.
But yesterday Ken bought me an early Christmas present: an iPhone!
So it’s out with the old, in with the new!
I wasn’t sure how much I’d like it, but I love it already. I’ve added a few apps, including tweetdeck, iChess, and a wonderful Bible-reading app called YouVersion — which I highly recommend! And what could be cooler than wallpaper background of a giraffe photo I took in Africa? I feel so high tech.
Any other apps I should get?

Getting an iPhone changed my life, and I really love seeing the Bible on there, since … well… it sorta changed my life too 😉
Yay! What a nice gift–practical and fun too! I had the most low-tech phone for a few years until my hubby upgraded and gave me his old iPhone. I really like it, especially the ability to download and use different apps. Some handy apps: ZipList for keeping my grocery list organized and up to date, Pandora for streaming music, RedLaser for price checking to make sure while shopping that I’m getting good deals. I also have a few games that are mostly for my kiddos, but I like them too: Hippo Blast, Cash Cow, Phase 10, Finger Physics, Puz Penguin.… Read more »
I don’t have an iPhone, but I do have an Android. I love the free Kindle app! There’s one for the iPhone, too (duh!). Since I don’t yet have a Kindle, it’s the next best thing. 🙂
ooh nice… having said that, I know nothing about these other than that they look really cool and seem to be easy to use!!
For your children: Geomaster, Math Bingo, Jumbline
For you: Traffic Rush, Flight Control, Words With Friends
The uses of the iPhone are endless. I love it for the camera and listening to music (Pandora). Have fun!
Yes, you are finally high tech! 😉 Oh, how I love my no-longer-old school-now-techie mama! ,<3
