But since I think buying jewelry might open up a can of worms (for me), I very well might buy "Jag Girl" an iPad for Christmas. She, along with her sister and brother-in-law, is a devoted Apple fan. I like the business model and the way they manage the brand, but I'm just a (happy as hell) shareholder. 3 million and counting! Go Steve, go!!! :bounce:
Well I've got my iPhone! First thoughts, confusing! I've been using Nokias for over 10 years now and got used to a way of doing things!
FFS Emails!!
How long have I been battling with various Nokia symbian devices which just can't get email to work properly at all.
I get my iPhone, put in a few details, and there y'are, it's working!
Bravo Mark!!!!Quote:

When I'm sat at work and have outlook open I always find that I get my emails on my iPhone before I get them on my laptop. :sQuote:

What really irks me about the i-experience is summed up by Valve's dilemma. A perfectly good website fails to render properly, yet you can go via iTunes and buy an app which replicates its function. Walled gardens go against everything the internet was designed for.
Want to check in for your flight online? Our website crashes but there's an app for that.
Want to browse The Guardian? Our website renders horribly but there's an app for that.
No - just sort out your websites so that everybody can use them, whether on a top of the range PC or a £50 pay as you go phone. :s
PS Mark, any problems with reception on the iPhone you're Beta testing? :p
There have been a lot of issues reported with the antenna design of the latest model.
Errr Dave, that's not a fault, it's a feature.
I agree with you regarding the closed walls argument. My e71 isn't perfect by a longshot, but it more than does the job at a lower price and in fact is better in some ways than the iPhone especially with regards to its qwerty keyboard.
I also share your bemusement at people's email problems. I've never had problems with getting emails on my N95 and E71. GridGirl, you're probably getting the emails first on your phone because the email server is pushing the emails out to your phone as and when it needs to whereas your laptop is probably set to pull them every x amount of minutes. Pretty poor setup tbh and sadly one which we have here too.
mark, did you ever try email.nokiacom to set your emails up? As Dave and myself have said, it's doable if you know how.
