you could use a bluetooth keyboard.
Hmm hadn't thought of that. Could come in useful, at least at work. I can type on it, but just no where near as quickly as I can type on a BB. Guess with time though I'll get used to it. The A, L and M keys seem to be the ones that cause me the most problems at the minute. I'm either inserting random capital letters in word, deleting a random letter or suddenly writing a new paragraph lol.
You could definitely assign a ringtone at one point, I'm certain they added that. Maybe it was in a beta and it's bee removed.
Auto correction can be a mother f**king pain sometimes. It's got worse since the dictionary thing too.
As for the typing, you get used to it. Double space does a full stop, Sy. That speeds things up.
I've just looked and you're right, you can set a ringtone for individuals. Having a different sound for texts, emails or facebook notifications is just one of those things I came to rely on with my BB, same with the different coloured light. made it easy to know when I could ignore it without paying too much attention.
I'm slowly starting to get used to auto correction and so far it's not caught me out, f**k knows how it works though as some of the suggestions for things I've typed have made me laugh. Can't remember what it was now, but the word c**t threw up a few random things before it learnt.
So that's why I was ending up with two full stops PMSL. I thought it was just my fat fingers mashing the wrong key! Ta, that will actually come in handy.
And DK always waffled on about the email being better on the iPhone.
How is that possible?
The bb email comes like a text message, on the iPhone don't you have to go looking to see if you have any?
Push or fetch email is pretty much the same no matter what device you're on. Although the push from my Gmail and Hotmail accounts to the iP does seem a lot quicker and more reliable than it was on my BB, but I put that down to Orange and their w**k BIS. For me the thing that's a MASSIVE improvement over the BB email is that the iP gives you easy access to all of your folders. So I can move stuff about without having to log in through a browser. Pictures will explain it better.
Get to all my accounts inboxes with just one button press from the dock.
Just thought of another con though. The iP comes with a USB sync/power cable that's about 2cm long. :nono:
