iPhone Update & Other Usability Issues
In case that you were wondering, I said goodbye to the very cool and useful iPhone and I’m now using my old BlackBerry, which continues to serve me well. During the 4 weeks that I have used the iPhone I managed to type very fast, however I found it still inferior when it comes to sending emails. (Try to send iPhone emails while you are walking the dog or waiting in traffic on 101 South at the rush hour). Other than that, I only had issues with “spontaneous” calls that took place when I was placing the iPhone in my pocket without locking the device first. Unfortunately, my iPhone was calling home (3 times during a 5 day trip). Calling home at the middle of the day is nice, unless home’s time zone is PST and you are 10 hours ahead. To be honest, this problem is not unique to iPhone. Using BlackBerry, even when the keys are locked, I managed to call the emergency services (spontaneously of course) several times. The example below is clear (even though the picture was taken with an iPhone):
