I admit I did a little happy dance when the email from Apple to let me know my new iPhone was ready for pickup arrived this morning. Mrs. Blocletters bought it just two days ago for my birthday. At the time, they told her the wait could stretch for three weeks. Imagine my surprise.

First impressions:

• The speed and display put the 1st generation iPhone I retired to shame.

• I tried to duplicate the antenna issue and couldn’t. Maybe I just need to work on my “grip of death.” I don’t know.
• The video and camera, both forward and backward facing, work as expected. I didn’t yet put the flash though its paces.

Maybe more thoughts later as I put it through a few days of use.
