I would not recommend it. Internet is painfully slow (like 14.4 modem slow). Safari is awesome, but the frustration of dreadfully slow downloads ruins it. The alleged push email is a bunch of bullshit - somehow only spam seems to actually get pushed. Also, AT&T's network is a fail (as compared to T-Mobile, which I had previously and is an epic fail). Syncing the damn thing is a nightmare, it always takes forever. Why it won't do it over Bluetooth is beyond me, my 3 year old Palm will and the Iphone has a Bluetooth chip set. Cables are so 20th century. And forget about software updates - no one at Apple has heard of this thing called a patch, so it takes forever to download the new software and update. Half the time the update fails on the first try and I have to repeat. None of the above (except slow internet) has been fixed on the 3G. If I hadn't paid $400 for the damn thing, there would be an Iphone sized hole in the wall by now. Personally, I'm waiting for the Blackberry Bold to show up on Verizon. It ain't pretty, but my coworkers and friends all have Blackberrys and they seem to work quite well. And get this, they sync without wires! What a concept! Nice flicks by the way, this Colorado trip definitely seems to be going well for your photography. I’ve had an Iphone for almost a year now. I would not recommend it.

I figured people must have been busy doing work in preparation for the long weekend ahead. In fact, I am just now writing today's blog since I figured many people would be taking the day off.

Nice pics - that big sky country out west sure does allow for some impressive photography. Have a great time hashing! -Randy I was at a training course all day yesterday, so I had an excuse – where was everyone else?
