Call log list

You cannot - it's all or none.

You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

We have 160 employees who are quite productive with their iPhones, but thanks for sharing your concerns.

Greetings,

There are millions of that do, "earn a living" with the help of the iPhone. I'd be lost without it, and I could care less about selectively deleting - all or nothing works fine. If it should become a feature, then so be it, it's just one more good thing for some folks.

It's hardly a toy, not when you consider the things it can do, and do well.

Cheers,
M.

The iPhone suggests correctly-spelled words as you type, so I'm wondering how a spelling checker would be more productive.

And yes, we have intelligent employees for the most part.

Forum alias IMissMyBlackberry + posting on Apple's iPhone discussion board = troll.

Try QuickOffice for MS Docs... http://appshopper.com/business/quickoffice%C2%AE-mobile-office-suite-word-excel- email-wifi

Maybe this for Remote Desktop... http://appshopper.com/business/remote-desktop

Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction

For others, search the app store... http://appshopper.com/

You do have 30 days to return it so don't lose track of that. For some people the BB may be the better device. Good luck.

I'm not sure of any spell checkers that you can get, however the App Store in iTunes is the place to find all of the Apps available for the iPhone.

There are a couple of apps that allow working on documents.

I'm not sure about Remote desktop, however I know there are VPN settings you can make in the iPhone. That one might require a little work.

You CAN disable the auto spell that resides on the iPhone. I stand corrected.

You may have the option to print a document in the apps that allow for editing documents, not sure about that since I don't use it.

I wouldn't worry too much about how some people react on the forum, there are a large number of people that supply great advice. Some people make comments based on people's screen names and, meaning no disrespect, including blackberry in the name could ask for problems. I hope you are able to resolve your issues. I know many people use their iPhones for business so you could survive.

Actually, one can get a lot of help here.

The tone of the question sets the tone for the answers, in general. Had you simply asked a question: "Is there a way to selectively delete items from the call log? I have read the user guide and can't find a reference to this."

You probably would have been barraged with helpful tips and advice, even page numbers in the user guide. However, I sensed some tone in the last two sentences of your original post and felt that any answer I might post would not be received well.

Just a thought.

Nope, I'm a real live honest to g g 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.

In fact, it's only with the 3.0 software that the recent call list will report call duration - prior to that, you actually needed to access the carrier's billing summary to get that. Made it difficult for people who need to bill based on call length, among other things. As I said, I have no doubt selective editing of the call log will come along with a future update. If you absolutely require that feature, today, then the iPhone is not the phone for you. The situation with SMS was similar - before 3.0, you couldn't delete a single SMS message in a conversation, you could only delete the entire thread. Now, you can delete (or forward) individual messages.

One thing to keep in mind about the iPhone - Apple seems do to a good job of adding features in software updates, compared to other smartphones on the market.
