Well folks I got my Iphone 4S on Friday, and I couldn't be happier! The only
question I have now is. . . What took me so long??? This phone is amazing! And
siri--wow!!!
A couple of questions:
1. What is the name of the program that acts like a scanner?
2. What is the name of the money identifier program?
3. What are your fvorite GPS programs?
4. For those of you who deal in foreign languages, what are some accessible
translation programs for, say, translating between English and Spanish?

The 4S is a little faster than the 4. When my 4 comes back after exactly 10
seconds it says screen curtain on and the speaker phone won't work, the call is
just on the ear piece. By the next call everything is fine.

it happens within the first couple seconds. you say hello, the other person
gets in hi, its so and so, then it happens. I hear VO say the persons name, or
number if not in contacts, then says 0 2 with i think a double tap sound , then
silence for a few more seconds, then the person is back. i would say its more
like five or six seconds. never bothered to actually count. btw, i've only had
it happen on an incoming call.
