My first annoyance with iOS4

[mpaquette]

Ran across my first iOS4 annoyance today and yeah, it's pretty minor. My phone syncs with MobileMe and my employers Exchange server. If I have a birthday set for a contact in Outlook (Exchange) it gets duplicated in my iPhone calendar if I choose to display the birthday calendars. So you're probably thinking, well just turn off the birthday calendar. If I do turn off the birthday calendar, then none of the birthdays I have set up on my MobileMe contacts show up in my calendar.

That is an annoyance with MobileMe not the iPhone.

How do you figure? Even if I take MobileMe out of the equation, any birthday attached to an Outlook contact would be duplicated.

Definitely! It's strange when something goes wrong, some people always have to blame their 'phone! It's nothing to do with the hardware. A software problem.

Um yeah, reading fail. I never mentioned the iPhone hardware. The title of my thread specifically said "iOS4."

Hopefully these aren't important people whose b-days you don't have memorized.

Just wish em happy birthday twice and they'll love you. It's a built in feature to enhance your life.
