Greetings

[rtwerk]

I've been invited by the Forum Administrators to introduce myself. I'll call myself Redondo (not my real name), but I understand the constraints and the pitfalls one often encounters when using their real one.
I'm a 60 year old IT professional who manages the servers, network, labs, and workstations at two different public schools. I work exclusively with Windows XP on our networks and in our classrooms/labs but have been a Mac Fanboy since the early 80's.
In the course of my employment I was provided with a rather mundane phone using T-Mobile. That phone REALLY had it's issues and I longed for Blackberry or iPhone. I finally took the plunge. Purchased an unlocked iPhone on ebay and put my T-Mobile SIM in it. WOW, what a difference.
Typically, in the course of my working day, I'm using the phone constantly. I can check my emails, take and send photos, take notes, and make voice notes to myself using an app. called VNotes.
It's been a wonderful edition to my work-day armory of tools and has really improved my efficiency.

Welcome to the EIC forums and I'm glad to see you're enjoying your iPhone.

Welcome to the forum, Redondo! Bookmark it on your phone and pop in often. It's the perfect place to learn more about your phone and offer assistance to those who need it. Glad you're here.

Welcome. Cool to see that you're getting so much enjoyment *and* productivity out of the iPhone!

For me, productivity WAS and IS the key. It's really more than a phone - but I know I'm preaching to the choir here - it's a tool which makes my work so much easier.

Good to hear that. I think it's a huge productivity tool, despite its shortcomings - and will be many time stronger in this area once we get the 2.0 firmware and Exchange support, and lots more apps ...

Great intro, Redondo. I hope to see you around often.

By the way - I use my real name, John, and all I ever got was a hate thread stating 'I hate you John Banks!!!!'

Welcome to the site.
