The MXit Home Screen

Hooray! MXit finally makes it’s iPhone debut! Okay, so finally was about a month ago – I’m just a little bit behind!

I wouldn’t call myself a MXit expert. Or even a seasoned user. But I do use it every now and then. And previously, every time I wanted to use MXit, I had to dig out an old phone to use it on. Not so anymore! Now I can chat to my buddies using the best phone in the world!

Okay, so the application isn’t perfect: is has a few issues. But it’s still does what I want it to: chat. Every now and then the application complains about low memory, but it still continues to work, so it’s not really much of a problem. Okay, maybe just an annoyance.

Admittedly, it is a little strange using MXit without typing on physical keys. I actually think I type quicker on a T9 predictive text phone that on my iPhone. On the positive side, this might get my typing speed up!

One feature that I think is pretty cool is the landscape mode. It works on the MXit home screen and in the chat screen. It gives a much bigger keyboard, and in my opinion, makes the application fantastic!

iPhone Home Screen

Okay, so I’ve had it for a week already, but I was too busy playing with it to write about it! This is, quite simply, the best phone, and the most fun that I’ve had in ages! It does everything that my Windows Mobile phone did and more. And it does it beautifully!

One of the best points for me is the lack of stylus. I don’t miss it one bit! This means, of course, that there’s one less thing for me to break. And without a stylus there’s less chance of the screen getting scratched. Shew!

I’m afraid that my iPod Classic is going to be slightly neglected now… The iPhone i may only have an 8GB capacity, but that’s still enough for most of my music, a movie or two, and a bunch of photos. Oh yes, and games! I’m not normally one to play games, but I’m feeling inspired! Tap Tap Revenge, here we come!

I’m still trying to get an idea of how long the battery will last under normal usage conditions, but I just haven’t been able to leave the phone alone! So at the moment it lasts about a day… But at least I’m having fun! And it’s not so bad carrying a USB cable in your pocket to charge your phone with!

That’s all for now – it’s time for breakfast!
