oodness brand new iPhone owner and user with a real live question about how I can separate and save business calls in my call log while ditching the personal call clutter. Seems like a reasonable request to me. By the way, there's an example of why I need a spell checker.
Yes, it was a reasonable question, to which I thought I provided an accurate and reasonable answer - including a link to submit a feature request to Apple (and trust me, you will not be the first to submit that request - I have no doubt that enhancement is on their list, but they have other priorities).
But, your further posts included statements like, +"It's really misleading for Apple to advertise business productivity and then fail to provide common tools available on every other phone on the market...It's a cute toy,"+ etc.
We're not all 'rabid fanboys,' but it did seem to me that your subsequent posts, after your initial question was answered, were intended to provoke a response. If mine was not the response you were hoping for, I apologize.
We (most of us, that is) know the iPhone is not for everyone. Many people actually come here with these questions before they purchase new iPhones, which helps them to make that determination.
Also, the iPhone is clearly not perfect - you point out the auto correction feature, and that's a good example - the reason typing ggodness fails to produce the prompt for the correct spelling is, quite simply, a bug. The same feedback site I linked above is a good way to report those to Apple, and they do fix them. For example, with a previous version of the iPhone OS, one could not directly type the word 'Farrah' - the iPhone's context sensitive keyboard, designed to help one type by increasing the sensitivity area for letters the OS 'thinks' you'll type next, would allow one to type 'Farrag' or 'Farrak' but the 'h' key was actually disabled after typing 'Farra'. People reported the bug, and now you can type Farrah (interesting timing there, to say the least).
If you decide to keep the iPhone, feel free to ask questions here - but, as LenH stated, it's often true that you get what you give, and there's the old adage about catching more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Incidentally, I number myself among the 'business' users who are quite productive with an iPhone. Some aspects of that could be accomplished on a Blackberry, but others, like viewing medical images (MRI, CT, etc.) in standard DICOM format are not possible on a BB, whereas there are 3 different iPhone apps that allow me to do just that.
