I finally picked up an iPhone 4 on tuesday. Once I swap over my phone number today, I'll have fully retired the Sidekick. (Though not the userpic.)

So far, it's pretty good. The screen's gorgeous, and the camera looks impressive. I'll miss the keyboard a lot, and prefer the Sidekick's email and IM programs, but at least I have options for IM software, and maybe email as well. I'm also worried about battery life — I'm down to 69% after about 70 minutes of active use. (Plus a lot more on standby.) It could also be accurate reporting, as opposed to the way the Sidekick's percentage would start dropping faster and faster as it neared empty.

I also bridge all three if the antenna gaps when holding it naturally, so my free case cannot arrive soon enough. :)

I also have the ability to make my own ringtones again, so I'm taking requests: if you want a specific song and have at least some chance of ever calling me on the phone, make your request here, and I'll consider it.

Of course, with the huge lack of overlap between my musical tastes and those of most of my friends, this probably isn't going to work, but you never know.

(Currently, I'm using Black Sabbath's Paranoid as my main ringtones.)
