In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new cellphone out. I’ve got one. Everything you’ve heard about it is true; it’s pretty amazing. Going from my old busted Treo 600, this thing is a dream. The phone part itself is easily the best sounding cell phone I’ve ever had. Everything else works amazingly well, but I can’t wait until a few of the initial shortcomings are taken care of (no to-dos from iCal? wtf?).
One of my favorite things so far though is the screen, it’s gorgeous. I’ve already loaded it up with a ton of my own photos (straight from Aperture, so tight), and have wasted many hours just flicking back and forth between them, marveling at how nice and sharp and pretty they look. But, since most of what I shoot is square, using them as background wallpapers is less than ideal, as they don’t fill up the screen. So I cropped 36 photos to the native 320×480 pixel size, and loaded them back into Aperture and sync them to the iPhone for setting as a wallpaper in the Settings menu. If you’re interested, I’ve also got all of those wallpapers available to download here.
If you’re on the fence about the iPhone, maybe these wallpapers will convince you. :) Justin put some up too.
