Mobile phone dilemma: should I get an iphone?

<p>I love my iPhone! It's my first smart phone and really I don't know how I lived with out it before! I was a minimal phone user before I got my iPhone-just minutes, no text, no data plan and the only person who called my was my husband. While my husband is still pretty much the only person who calls me, I use my iPhone all the time! I don't use any sewing apps, but there are tons of other cool apps out there.

Thanks Trish and Kirsty, I am definitely moving towards an iphone, just need to justify it in my head ;0) it is really useful to hear your experiences.

Have this morning downloaded Sewing Kit Lite - seems great, it was free, If I need to store more than 5 patterns at a time - I will buy the full version - I have been wanting something like this.

I've got an iphone and I love it, so easy to use! Although I've not got any sewing apps yet. Just having a look at some of them and will download the freebees to see what they are like and report back :)

<p>I recently tripped and smashed the screen of my Nokia - such a shame!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then i asked my boss for an iphone - as everyone else in the company was getting ipads! He gave me his old iPhone 3 - I love it. The menus are so much easier than Nokia - you would never go back. I havent had a bill yet - so hopefully my facebooking and surfing arent too excessive! Love the aps, havent found sewing aps yet - but I will have a look. My kids love the games too.</p>

<p>Thank you so much Debbie, how good of you to give me the links, I've just spent a happy 10 minutes having a first look at the crochet blog you recommended and now I have more goodies to look at - great advice about the data access, I will be sure to ask. I don't have a contract right now so I am a bit naive about it all!</p>

<p>It would be very difficult to live without it now (lol) - I have had a smart phone for the last 5 years, but none as much fun as the Iphone (or phones like it). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Charlotte - if you want to check out the sewing apps - have a "Google" of them first - the one I use is called Sewing Kit. There is a "free" version of it - but it will only allow you to save a few patterns - so you do need to buy it (I think it was about AU$12). </p>

<p> </p>
<p>One thing you MUST make sure you have covered in your plan/prebuy for Iphone or similar is the amount of data (download/internet) access you will need. It can be VERY expensive (well here in Australia) if you dont have a data plan or go over your data limit (as a friend found out the hard way!).</p>

<p>Hi Charlotte - I have an Iphone and love it. There are sewing apps that you can download - I have to admit that I don't use them a lot, but it is handy when I'm out shopping for patterns or fabric.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Iphone is so much more than a phone - you can use it for music, photos, games (which I don't use), there are apps for just about anything you can think of, email, the internet is always at your fingertips - and you can stay in touch with Sew Weekly no matter where you…</p>

<p>Before I got mine, I really didn't think I would use it much .... but I do. Good Luck!</p>
