I must confess…

Previously, I talked about how I purchased an iphone – because I am a MAC addict!….. well – I must confess … IT ANGERED ME GREATLY THAT I WAS BEING CONTROLLED BY APPLE OVER WHAT I COULD AND COULD NOT PUT ON IT!

Ahh – now that I have that off my chest – let me share what I did!!!!!

I unlocked it.. jailbroke it… set it free….. emancipated it from the controlling eyes of APPLE and now I love my iphone even more than ever…. It was only after I took the leap of faith and unlocked it that I truly appreciated the true value of my iphone.(though i did have a sleepless night stressing if I made the right decision).

Since taking this leap, I can now make decisions about what I can and cannot put on my phone… for example….

• MMS -  I can now MMS (why cant we do it from the beginning?)
• Video – I can now take videos with my iphone and save to my computer…(soon be able to email) (and they said you couldn’t)
• Visual desktop calendar, email – I no longer have to go into my phone to see my calendar and emails – I now have calendar and new emails sitting on my locked screen for easy viewing and reading.  To me – a much more business interface (ok – maybe a little blackberry like..)
• And so much more…

And my point…. Where do Apple get off setting limits as to how I can use MY phone?  As I read articles etc – many of these decisions are based on reseller agreements with the TELCOS (USA ones in particular).  Since installing these new apps – I have not experienced any issues with my phone – so have trouble seeing why Apple would not approve these apps in the first place – except for the reason stated above….

Ok – today’s Blog is not about ITSM per say – but it is about SERVICE!

I am aware that I can now install an app that will allow me to use my phone as a modem…. BRING IT ON!!!!

Till next time cheers from The Art of Service
