Are you fucking kidding me?

Currently just behind at number 2, "Pharyngula" - an 'intelligent design' debunking site.

You have until 5 pm today to help fix this. Have at it.

Alright so I've been playing with this thing pretty much non stop for the past two days now and I'm totally in love with it! ^.^

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me suggestions for apps yesterday, you pointed me to a whole bunch of things which I've found incredibly useful.

( Apps that I've downloaded so far... )

So, suffice it to say, I'm really enjoying this thing immensely! :D

I'm even really impressed by the onscreen keyboard. Some people say that it is too small and cramped, and too easy to mistype on. That would be true... Except for the auto corrector. I make tons of typing mistakes, almost every other word, even. However, this thing is so good at following right along and cleaning right up, that I've learned that I can just type though almost all of my mistakes, and it's hardly ever wrong. It's so good, that this is practically a non issue.

In fact, I'd say that I only have two gripes with the iPhone at all... However, they are fairly substantial.

The first is, that there is no completely hands free voice dialing solution, for use with Bluetooth headsets. WTF??? I got really used to this with my verizon phone, and I was practically in shock to find that iPhone didn't have this! As I noted under the cut, I found an app to kind of fudge it, but that still requires you to actually take the phone out of your pocket and mess with it, instead of simply touching a button once on your Bluetooth and speaking your contact. Seriously WTF??? This is an egregious omission, especially in states with hands free driving laws, and I can't believe that apple missed this! They seriously need to get this feature into their next update asap.

Which brings me to my second gripe, and again having to do with Bluetooth... My very same motorola headset, which had been working completely fine on my old Razor phone, I pair it to the iPhone, and suddenly people are telling me they can hardly hear me at all on it! (and yes, I had the volume turned up all the way via the iPhone - I read about that). I even tried leaving myself a voice mail to my work phone with it, so I could hear what people were complaining about, and it was indeed almost inaudible while speaking at normal volume. Certainly as compared to just speaking into the iPhone itself, or even with the wired earbuds that come with it. I really don't think this can be blamed on my Bluetooth, cause again this was not a problem whatsoever when I was using it with my razor phone, so I blame the iPhone. The problem is bad enough so as to practically make the Bluetooth unuseable. I find this extremely bothersome... And it would almost be a deal breaker for me, actually, if there wasn't so much else about the iPhone I'd already come to love.

Does anybody else have a problem with that, or know of a solution?

Anyway though, if just that one thing could be fixed, and the hands free dialing, this truly would be the best mobile device ever created! :-P
