The big thing I miss is the lack of customizations for notifications. I use mine for pages at work. I may get in trouble if I miss too many of them. Hopefully I find an app for that.
Exactly... this is my major sticking point with the iPhone. I switched from the 9700 (after 5 years as a BB user)...
I am confused because Steve Jobs is trying to sell this device as a business tool, yet he refuses to allow things like custom SMS notifications. There is absolutely no provisions for using the iPhone as a pager for work situations where custom notifications and continuous repeating notifications are required. Fortunately for me, I can set up my work system to also send notifications by email - and am using [URL="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailtones-email-sounds-alerts/id329330329?mt=8&at=10l3Vy]MailTones[/URL] to do the alerts for that. So far that is working out ok, but I'd prefer custom SMS notifications.
And I am still struggling with poor battery life, compared to the BlackBerry... but over the past week or so, it seems to have improved (either that, or I am just "playing with it" less).
I do love my iPhone. The overall coolness cannot be overstated. The screen is beautiful, the web browsing experience blows the BlackBerry away. And I am getting used to the virtual keyboard - probably the one thing that I was most afraid of...
As a former BlackBerry lover and iPhone basher, I freely announce to the world that I was wrong, and I have converted. Please pass the kool-aid.
