Upgrade!

This week's lesson: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 

After my last phone took a little spin through the washing machine bit the dust this weekend, I am happily upgrading to the iPhone 4. (Thank you, Mom and Dad!) My first big girl phone — and no. 28 on my 101 in 1001 list!

Now I need your help. Any advice from fellow iPhone users? Favorite apps? I must know!

I highly recommend FeedBurner! It is allows you to sync up all your blogs so you can read them on the go! I've loved it!

I recommend putting your favorite sites on your home screen for easy access.

My only advice is to buy the snakeskin Michael Kors case to go with it;) I don't know what I love more- my phone or its case! You'll LOVE the iphone- I just got mine a month ago and already couldn't imagine not having it!!

Unknown said...

Oh no! At least you got a cool new fancy phone.

I have tons of apps, but I really like that you can add your bank or AMEX so you can keep up with your accounts all the time. I use my Wells Fargo app the most! And words woth friends, it's addictive!

You're gonna love it!

A few of my favorite apps:
aNote (To Do app with alarm), Newsrack (RSS reader), iBooks, iP (period tracker), Etsy Addict, Hipstamatic (camera), Web Albums (if you have Picasa albums), Words (scrabble to play with friends),Pandora, Mobile Card (to reload starbucks card)...

There are so many more but those are only a few I can think of right now. Enjoy!

You are going to fall in love! I listen to Slacker or XM Radio almost every day at work.

Get a good solid case that covers the back. I love my phone and was so bummed when I dropped it and the glass shattered into a million shards.

Shazam is great if you enjoy music... you hear a song on the radio and click it and it shows you the name/artist and you can buy directly from iTunes! You will love it - get a pretty case and you will love it even more!

So jealous! Don't have one (yet)...but I'm pretty sure 90% of the reason I want one is for those fabulous iphone cases from Dani Notes...too gorgeous for words! (c:

Out with the old and in with the new! I LOVE my iPhone 4, I couldn't survive without the pandora app or my echofon app for twitter. Both are free which is a complete bonus! xx

McKenzie said...

So obsessed with mine! Get the Hipstamatic photo app, the Happy Hour app & Words With Friends so you can play scrabble with all your iPhone pals :)

Reebs said...

Instagram is a great photography app!

Other than mentioned above, my favourites are:
1. Blogpress (to publish posts on the go - or - I mostly use it to write ideas on the go and then save them as draft for later!!)
2. Ebay! Never miss another bid... it has alerts and easy bidding.
3. Houzz has an app with tons of inspiration pics!
4. Skype - hello free video calls!!! Best to use with wifi though and not 3G!

I'm so happy for you!!! I'm getting the iphone for my birthday and I am counting down the days!!!!

Can you post your full list? You've shared snippets and I am definitely intrigued to create my own. I'd love to read yours! of course, you can put "private" or some other placeholder for everything too personal to share. :)
