To me one of the neat things about the iPhone is, that for the first
time, blind people can go out and by the phone that everybody wants and
use it. Trivial, I know, but very cool.

Hi list members, I agree with marko's comments about being a part of
history and creating the demand. The unfortunate thing is that here in
Australia you cannot yet by an unlocked iphone outright without going on
a plan. Although I do not need government to by it for me, those that
do will find that funding plans will not pay for mobile phone contracts.
Apple need to understand that I think .

I do plan on buying an IPhone 3GS in the near future in spite of a
couple of problems. The benefits of this device more then out ways the
negatives. However, it is important to know the negatives as then you
won't be surprised when they happen and you can factor that into the
risk you are taking. I've owned my share of cell phones over the years
and I think that the IPhone will probably be the one of my best phones
ever. Besides, it is an historical event and I want to be a part of
history in the making. Since I already have a GSM phone, it will be
easy to switch over to the 3GS because all I have to do is take out the
sim card from the one and transfer it to the other. I also have an CDMA
phone that I use for data since it operates on a different network from
rogers and so use that one for internet surfing as it is unlimited. I
will be using the IPhone interchangeably with my nokia E71. Sim cards
are easy to move from one phone to another. I'm going to put in an
order for the 3GS soon. I know that the next generation IPhone will
build on this one but it is important to support Apple in this first
generation so that they see that there is a demand for this product.
Sorry if people on this list took my critiques as a a reason for not
buying the phone. Probably the drawback that you can't change is that
you can't change the battery. I wonder what the phone will cost in
Canadian dollars from my local retaler. I suppose that the size of
memory isn't that important but the concept of inclusion.

You can if you're in the phone app. Press home, choose another app,
while the call is on. Apparently to the very top of the screen there's a
"return to call" bar. I couldn't check this out myself, as my iPhone
won't be delivered until monday, but my son tells me that's how his
iPhone works.

But can you add appointments on a calendar while talking to some
one on the same IPhone?
I thought that the IPhone 3GS isn't capable of running more then
one app at a time.

No: they expect you to use the iPhone with it's headset That's
all. 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.

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! Thank you Apple for
joining the
real world of digital!
