  • Query: Have you noticed any improvement in the speed of App Launches?

  • You are such a nerd! I love it and I'm going to the store to get one now!

  • Can i remap the keyboard to dvorak?

  • Yep, I upgraded mine on Thursday and sold it yesterday.

    I meant to ask ... I assume that you kept your number from your old iPhone. So, what is the status of the old phone now? Does it retain any functionality? Can you upgrade the software to 2.0 and use the non-phone capabilities?

    I've had 2.0 installed on my old iPhone since Thursday. I had no problems following the instructions posted on various tech blogs on how to download the file from Apple and get it installed. I've bought a few apps (and got several free apps) and have had no problems at all.


    I'm disappointed that the Map STILL doesn't have a key that indicates distance scale. In my opinion, there is no excuse for that. Maps of an area you don't know NEED this scale information to be fully useful.


    I didn't even notice the "querty" typo, but Jason is right ... one ought to be able to type qwerty blindfolded (unless you're typing it on a non-qwerty keyboard).

    "...from a non-querty Blackberry..."


    There's a reason qwerty is spelled with a 'w.'

  • You just HAD to install 2.0!


    I just now got it working, expect a lengthy blog article on how I did it. Long and short, My TMobile iPhone is currently downloading PodCasts from my Dell Vostro running Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard.


    No need want, I haz!
