iPhone 3G, finally

Thanks to  O2 representative  I talked at the begining of this week,  I woke up so early today (which is famous for being SaturdaY :) ) , cycled to the O2 Experience on Henry Street and finally found an iPhone which was waiting its lucky and patient customer. It took me like 20 minutes to purchase it, since I had to provide a proof of address, a bank account and sign few contracts. After taking the SIM Card out, I threw my lovely Nokia to the “Mobile Phone Recycling Box” and the represntative  ( she was so kind btw :) ) told me that I am the first customer who used that box. 

My first impressions are pretty positive, I loved how easy it is to navigate and how smart the interface is. Google Maps is even cooler when you are mobile. Thanks to 3G coverage O2 provides, Youtube experience is so smooth :) I’ll write here again as I use that phone more.

Rain!

Unlike most of my friends, I (used to) like rain a lot, but after living in Ireland for 3 months, it totally changed. Actually, the amount of rainfall we have in Ireland is not as much as it is perceived. It is STILL a lot but I think what makes Ireland so special is the high frequency of daily changes. Anyway, I’m glad that we will have less rainfall than Istanbul in the winter.

Irish Style!

__ I love Istanbul, it still is the best city I’ve ever lived in but day-by-day I desperately get used _to Dublin and have to admit that Irish folks are extremely friendly. Moreover, they have such great songs ;)
