iPhone Impressions Part iii

I am going to make these posts shorter and more often just so its easier for others to track updates.

Pros

You get a nice little “E” or WiFi icon in the status bar for Edge or WiFi. Really easy to tell which network you are currently on.
Setting per contact photos and ring tones is super easy. Now where is that iTunes update that lets us use our own ring tones 🙂

To get the text editing loupe, You must tap and hold between letters. You cannot tap in the whitespace at the end of a field and drag back into the text.

I changed the contact list to short and display First Name, Last Name. The sort is totally messed up now. Under “L” I have H R (first last initials), then I L S, then D I B, I S, I S, I & O, etc. Makes no sense for being in the “L” grouping. So I set it back to Last, First sort order, then back to First, Last sort order, and now it is displaying properly. Weird.
When setting the time zone, I entered Portland and iPhone only offered Portland, USA. There is a Portland, Maine so I didn’t know which one iPhone had suggested. Accepting Portland showed it is indeed Portland, Oregon. Maine may take a quibble with this.
