I bought an iPhone off Ebay shortly after they were released which to anyone who knows me will not come as a surprise. For a while all I could do is use the iPod features, wi-fi and email which I expected so I was fine with that.

I took the iPhone on holiday with me and watched movies I’d be meaning to catch up on whilst laying on the beach and it was great.

I finally managed to get it unlocked a few weeks ago with the aid of a Bladox Turbo sim and have happily been using it on T-Mobile in the UK since. Everything on the phone works except for the Youtube videos but that isn’t a big deal.

Is the iPhone any good? It certainly is! It’s almost as if you have a laptop in your pocket being able to pick up emails or surf the web wherever you are thanks to T-Mobiles unlimited data access for £1 a day.

The sound quality of the calls is excellent and navigating your way through the menus is a breeze.

Is it perfect? No.

One thing that I miss the most and have taken for granted for so long is Group SMS text messages. There’s also no option for SMS receipts which is a pain if you need to know if someone has got what you sent.

The good thing though is I’m sure in time all the little features that Apple have missed will come along in a software upgrade so while it’s not perfect now it could be sometime soon.
