Sennheiser PX 100 is inexpensive and a far better alternative to BOSE In-Ear or On-Ear. This German set delivers fantastic fidelity sound in a tiny package, however, it isn’t as polished as its more expensive counterparts. Cloth and leather details feel cheap but given the price and the sound quality, one can’t complain.

The iPhone is the best mobile device I have ever owned. I grew tired of all past devices within 2-3 months; the iPhone has been going strong for six months. I won’t dwell on the positives (outlined elsewhere in far more detail than I can provide) but here are some things I found irritating:

• 3.5mm jack which forces you to shell out $20 for a decent TTY adapter because the standard iPhone headphones suck.
• The ever-so gorgeous screen gets easily stained and requires constant wiping. Want a fix? Buy the $20 anti-glare crystal film set.
• EDGE is painful and more so when you have a decent browser that downloads the pages completely. At least the blackberry browsers slim down the page (i.e. Opera)
• Ziphone is fun but most apps don’t have the Apple pizzazz and are extremely unstable. iPhone users are in dire need of new apps and surely they’re coming!
• Having experienced push email on my blackberry pearl, iPhone polling for email sucks. I am very excited that push email and syncing are coming via .Mac.
