Then I must say I find your previous post a little confusing:
(bolding added)
If we both agree that looking away from the road and/or doing something that distracts your driving, why would you use a PDA or a phone while driving?
I do not think conversations substantially affect my ability (but of course I am biased to my own ability), I was simply stating what the studies you linked seem to indicate.
Yes, taking my eyes off the road is a distraction. It is a calculated risk. If I am driving down a suburban or rural road with no other cars, the risk of injuring someone else is next to nothing. If I am at a stop light the risk is zero. I'm sorry I was not more specific, I do not look at my phone while doing 65 in heavy traffic on the highway.
The point of this thread is not to criticize my personal choices about using a cell phone while driving.
So for the 2nd time, lets stay on topic.
I heard the screen on the iPhone is quite good, I was trying to get an indication of how easy it is to see in bright sunlight especially since you have to dial with the touchscreen.
