Anyone care to review the calendar app? Is there OTA syncing with iCal or anything like that? How are tasks handled? Is there any sort of memo app available?
Well, I can't get into all those questions, but here are some comments.
It has spin dials that you use to choose the day, hour, and minute when making an event. It's pretty cool.
On the down side, it doesn't keep your different iCals different--with categories Hopefully, it'll be something that will be updated.
There is no Week view, but the list view is sweet as you can keep flicking downward to see all the upcoming events. The Month view is cool also because you can tap a date and then see the events for the day under the calendar. If there are more events than can be viewed at one time, you flick downward and see the rest. Pretty nice "Month At A Glance"-esque.
It syncs all the iCals with no problem. You choose which iCal category you want the iPhone events to go into as a setting.
That's about it.
In SF I'm seeing connection to EDGE almost nil. I can't get web pages to open and barely can get an email through Chatter with constant polling. I just wanted to see how widespread this is and if you guys on iPhones are having similar issues.
Braj, this is everyone's problem.....you're asking about calendar and memo functionality having posted this over a day ago? transparent as i said.

I use keysuite on palm (palm's built-in stuff is pretty weak, imho). Luckily i don't use very much of the functionality (beyond the additional contact fields and calendar views), so I'm hoping the iphone stuff will suffice for now. Hopefully they'll either pump it up or allow third-party developers to do so.
You know...the most disappointing thing about the iphone calendar is that the notification is not nearly loud enough and it only plays once. No repeating, no snooze, no nothing, just one notification and if you miss it you're screwed. What's the point of putting an appointment with a reminder in your calendar if it doesn't remind you?
