I wrote about the DANGERS ;) of international roaming last week:
http://boardingarea.com/blogs/travel...ou-are-abroad/ Most people don't realize just how expensive this can be. You are looking at $20/MB on most networks! |
BTW: It's also the same on the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71's that just came out. No Blackberry support, they also use Microsoft Exchange Support.
SO the same insane roaming rates apply. I'm stuck still using my e61i as it's 3G and works with a Blackberry roaming flat rate plan. Unless I see a flat rate roaming plan for iPhone push email I'm sticking with Blackberry, my 14 days or so a month out of the US can't afford to use anything other than Blackberry right now :( |

the original and 3g iphones support the standard bluetooth hands-free and headset profiles, and any compatible bluetooth device should 'just work.'

Maybe Wifi roaming is the way to go. |
That sucking sound. . .
Is the noise of the battery being drained. Eight hours of light use (with bluetooth) and it was all she wrote. I would estimate that it was about an hour of talk time. |

Just called my local store.
Asked if they had already sold today's allotment of phones. Agent said they didn't have any all weekend. I asked if there were some in the back for tomorrow's allotment. He said that they had none, and none were delivered yesterday. |

I take it you've never owned a 3G smartphone before.

I am an original iPhone owner so I like them--that said I was on the phone for a couple hrs today due to when syncing my 3G when it gets to "backing up sandyweb33's iPhone" it takes 20+ mins. Apple is sending me another phone--they say tomorrow. Anyone else have this issue?

Just naïve to the realities of battery life. ;)
Tonight I noticed that the upper-right-hand battery indicator took a couple more hours of charge (after the primary indicator was "full") before the "lightning bolt" turned into a "plug". Perhaps I didn't fully charge it yesterday. We'll see what tomorrow brings. It looks like the charging cable from my iPod Nano also works with the iPhone. ^ |

I heard it was the same down at Spectrum and Fashion Island Apple stores too. I don't know why people didn't just go to a local AT&T store like I did. No waits, in and out in 10 minutes, same phone and service.
