Nice one! I got to play with one the other day (belongs to a client.)

WANT :-)

Oh yes. It's very nice.

So, how is it?

	From: budgie_uk	Date: July 16th, 2008 11:26 pm (UTC)		(Link)

Very, very nice, but one hell of a learning curve. Lots of things that I thought would be obvious... aren't.

And for some reason, I can't send mail on it... but think tha's probably just a 'settings' issue.

I'm sure your right. Can you check the settings on the old one or was this a trade in type of situation?

It's my first iPhone, but it seemed to get the settings to receive mail ok from Outlook. I'll take a look at it tomorrow though.

ihad problems setting up my mail at first. We have an exchange server and I had the wrong kind of slash in the domain name. Keep trying. Was pretty quick arriving in the end though :)

Mail's sorted - the iphone didn't import the password for the smtp server. Now done, and emailing away... now just need to figure out a way to export the sent mails to my Outlook.

Do you have to use the MobileMe to do that?

	From: budgie_uk	Date: July 17th, 2008 07:32 pm (UTC)		(Link)

No - despite its attraction, I'm not using MobileMe, simply because I don't want to have to change my email address to a @ me.com one.

	From: angelout2killme	Date: July 18th, 2008 01:12 am (UTC)		(Link)

Well, maybe you need to set the iPhone to leave the messages on the server and then let your Outlook on your computer remove them when it downloads.

Or something.

What did you find confusing? I'm curious, because one of the things that has impressed me most about it is that I have never once needed to look at a manual for mine, excepting the bit of paper that identified why physical buttons did what, whereas with other phones, I've usual had to spend an hour or two with a manual to work out how to do some stuff. (Although prior to the iphone, I had a long history of buying phones with legendarily bad UI.)

I suspect that because I'm no longer used to a Palm PDA and had fallen in love with the 'how Samsung do it' school of mobile phone menu design, that it took a while to sort my head out.

Yes, for the very basic stuff, it's easy-peasy - but for anything bigger (things like, oh, setting an alarm and realising there's no easy way to add ringtones or alarm sounds) yeah, it was getting the manual out.

Suddenly realised - you're a PC user, aren't you? Yeah, I've no idea how you'd do that on a PC - it's integrated into one of Apple's products on the Mac, so it feels natural.

Also, I'd never had a phone where I *could* add ringtones or alarm sounds without paying to download them directly onto the phone (and so didn't), so I had no prior expectations of how the syncing with a computer would work.

Update: now have figured out how to sync on a PC so I have personalised ringones and alarm sounds.

Perfect.

	Ooooo! Pretty!

New number? Same number? I wanna be sure so I can call it to arrange our "meet up and gab" when next we're in London!
