Last night I finally made the transition from the annoying Windows Vista to Windows 7. Although it was an upgrade on top of Vista, I’m still really impressed with it. The upgrade was really easy. I had to reboot before the upgrade as Vista had some updates to install, but other then that, it went really smooth, apart from taking good few hours. 
I haven’t had a lot of time to play with it and try out all the new features, but there are a few that I have and I think the one that I’ll use the most is moving a window to the left or right, and it filling only half the screen. It’s certainly a lot easier then manually resizing two windows to just 1/2 the screen, and will make it really handy when doing HTML/CSS coding on my 23″ screen.
Well, today enough was enough. I took my iPhone 3G in to my local Optus store and got them to send it away for repairs (or replaced, hopefully). It was mostly work normally as one would expect, except for one major feature, the speakers would stop working, and when on a call, would have to use speaker phone.
Turns out that it would think that a set of headphones where connected, but there weren’t. I have no idea why, but it was rather annoying when I was in the middle of a call, and it would do this.
There were a few other little issues, but nothing as major as this. There was a crack on the back, but it was only cosmetic, but seeing that it was near the accessory port, could explain some of the problems.
So, now for the wait until I get my iPhone back. Hopefully it’s a quick turn around, but I have a feeling that it’s going to be a while. So for the time being I’m having to resort to my really old Nokia N70 (it’s just not the same!!).
