I thought the 3gs doesn't take sim card? Isn't it an electronic sim? So with
that you couldn't switch phones very easily?

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.

I don't know why you wouldn't be able to do that.  YOu can run many apps at

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!
