Thank you. We all agree then that the iPhone is probably the costliest phone around (excluding the likes of Vertu), with a minimum cost of $1,000.
I'm outta here!
iPhone really saved my day, my office machine crashed :D Thanks to the phone i did well for 4 hours, sitting in meetings, cafeteria and even the road side chai shop and all the 40 odd emails attended and replied to. I am getting smarter with the keyboard also, almost completely moved to 2 finger typing now.
One more realization for me (not really supporting iPhone here but), i received an excel. It had 12 sheets and zillion formula and links. I realized that apart from a proper laptop or comp, nothing would have worked out "If" i wanted to do something in it. Screen size will be the biggest road block, atleast for me.
Its a myth that your phone will help you in situation like this.
I get along fine with one thumb typing. :D
@Steer, the phone is expensive and limited. Which is kinda the point of Apple products. It does not try to to everything, but it does do some things well.

Even if indian customer base is more (which i doubt), the avg bill is way lower compared to our western counterparts. So it will not work out in the current scenario.
Also Airtel offers 500MB data free for 1 year with iPhone, which is a very good deal.

Received this in an email.
That was really funny, although not meant to hurt anyone ! I am curious to know if all these are prepared by people who cant afford to buy an i-phone by any means !!
:uncontrol
Very funny!!
And I agree totally - - and also own an iPhone!!:)
sorry to criticize but the fonts used look like crap. :p
also missed out on quite a few flaws, too.
For all its worth...there is an application named Cycoder which adds on video recording to the iphone. I downloaded it using the appinstaller named Cydia which came along with the WinPwn tool which I used to unlock my iphone.

I dont know who created this, but this can also be from some who bought this phone only to find out that it lacks various facalities. He is in a board of directors meeting and he cannot pick up phone to talk, neither can he forward SMS.
Moreover, it can also be from someone who thought that iPhone is value for money, bought it from his/her hard earned money, and later got frustated, so made this up.
Last weekend had done a trip to chennai, the idea was to get to chennai border and get guidance on phone. All well till we reached chennai border, the road was chaotic thanks to political rally. Rudra calls up and asks for the address and first set of route guidance, got the info and we proceed.
Then it had to happen, first Rudra's out going is not working, then he tries my phone and same issue. Network is jammed! Even the other side cant reach us. So finally we are creeping through the maddening traffic of chennai, both of us clueless on how to navigate to our destination, when i get the idea of why not the GPS? I type in the destination and huraah i see the same in Google maps.
With some guidance from friendly chennai anna's and the GPS we reached the destination without much trouble, just in time for a function :)
I give 3 stars out of 5 to iPhone GPS, i wish it had route suggestions as well as a compass then it would be purfect. Waiting for apple to release those updates :D
And the not so good, while driving back i get a call and blank screen!! darn cant do anything, plugged in the handsfree and can answer but no access to phone otherwise. Fixed battery is a pain in such scenario since you cant even hard reboot, thankfully the phone came back after 5 mts! Previous day one of my friend was playing with all the apps, and i suspect one of them had hanged or did something funny in the background, which almost gave me a heart attack. Restarted the phone once it came back, just to be on the safe side.
So that was my first official iPhone freeze!
Emergency reboot: Keep holding Home and Power keys till phone reboots.

TG Daily - Husband blames "bug" for sending nude pictures from his iPhone
" Husband blames "bug" for sending nude pictures from his iPhone ...
Chicago (IL) – What would you do if you discovered your spouse is emailing nude photos of his better parts using his iPhone? You turn to the Apple Discussion forum and share your case with the world, of course. One such case has been entertaining Apple users this week. Susan found her husband off track by looking at the content on his cellphone. When she saw a revealing photo in the Sent folder of his iPhone, Susan confronted her husband with the discovery.
Not that he denied the photo, he admitted to that immediately, as it appears. But the explanation he offered is rather interesting: He blamed the existence of the picture on a bug in Apple's handset ... "
