the difference though is that the headset that accompanies the iphone has a mike and controlls that you cannot replicate for it anywhere else.

Like any new device, it takes getting used to and using it. In doing so, you find ways of getting tasks done. At this stage, those of us who have iPhones are learning and exploring and becoming confident and proficient with them. I'm going to try this shortly, but I think one can check weather and make appointments while on a call. Additionally, I have no idea why a big deal is being made about using a headset. The earphones that come with the iPhone are not at all clumsy or awkward. Also, as has been mentioned, there are other ways around the issue of the screen being locked during a call, which, as far as I can tell, has not slowed the rate of sales of the device in the market place.

My best friend is now the proud owner of an iPhone, and she loves it. She can't text as fast as I can, but I can't tell my phone what music to play with my voice. What I would have to say though is, I can't imagine doing what I would call actual work with the iPhone. However, I could be wrong and only time will tell.

Because then you have access to the phone's full functionality, e.g. adding an appointment to the calendar, then coming back to the phone app etc. On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 6:50 PM, Marco <news@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: So I guess Apple isn't perfect after all. They do have their hardware flaws as well as software problems. It's the only thing about mac users that drives me nuts is that they claim that their company is without flaws and that only Microsoft has problems. Hurray!
