Kinda defeats the point of a slimline style phone if you've got to lug a charger about though.Mine died unexpectedly today after a long phone call. Very annoying. Having to remember to carry the Proporta in my bag all the time will become arggghh.
Something not right about 2.0 - text editing. Mostly it's fine but from time to time it turns to glue. I've seen it in safari, mail and text message, so it seems like an OS thing. Anyone else seeing this? When I say glue, I mean one letter per second - down to 12 key typing rates.
Roll on 2.1
Ouch! If this is true Blackberry will be feeling the heat - and it would be a real triumph for the iPhone.
"ZDNet Australia certainly seems to think so. According to the site, Global Bank HSBC is considering ridding themselves of their reliance on the BlackBerry, opting instead to transition their workers to iPhones. If this goes through, it could result in a bulk order of up to 200,000 iPhone units which would most likely rank as the highest mass purchases of the handset to date."

Yes - the 3G (or rather, the 2.0 firmware) has MS exchange support. This was a deliberate move to capture some of the business market.My company are doing the same. Only about 1000 users but still if it's a trend ...
Have Apple decided to specifically target business users?
I'd read some tales of 3G speed woe from US users, but they were relatively uninsightful - either saying it was crap or that it wasn't. So it's interesting to hear about the variance here and when it is or isn't faster. In some ways this cuts back to some of the very early criticisms of the phone, simplistic check-box evaluation: it doesn't have 3G. So anything with 3G will be better. Which ignored battery life, and the much less understood issue of latency, (and indeed rendering speed), as factors that are outside a simple hypothetical bandwidth measurement. I remember a side by side shootout, with a 3G palm vs EDGE iphone. The iPhone was only marginally behind on a same-page load test.
So it seems like we can also add network contention as another factor that makes basic hardware spec comparison a dubious "science". A bit like comparing vehicle BHP, but forgetting about weight.
FWIW, I've found similar results with EDGE. Out of town (or in the wee small hours) it runs much faster. And indeed with GPRS too.
Maybe what we're seeing here is that there is much higher contention, in London, on 3G (or at least O2's deployment) than on EDGE.
Wrong link?""There are no current plans to replace the BlackBerry," HSBC spokesman Donal McCarthy said Tuesday from the bank's headquarters in London."It is the business standard," he told CBC News."

Oops! Yes. But that's a top link!Wrong link?
The problem is that for some people the update has made things no better, and for some, the problem's got worse.Those people above need the 2.0.2 software I reckon.
So Jobs was lying when he said, "This is a known iPhone bug that is being fixed in the next software update in September" and this iPhone web site is making it all up?I've upgraded and haven't had to re-install all my iPhone apps. That's tosh.

How strange.
Best write to them and tell them that they've got it all wrong then.The article says you have to re-install all your apps, that's tosh. As I said above.
