I have to say that I wasn’t anywhere near when iPhone came out in Australia. There were couple of reasons for it. I bought the iPhone when I moved to a new team in the company. Then ever since, I haven’t let iPhone out of my sight.
As examples..
* I do my emails using iPhone
* I do my calendaring using iPhone
* All my contacts are in iPhone
* I haven’t touched my D80 for months
* I have the Bible in iPhone
* I do blogging using iPhone
the list goes on…
As an extra thing last week I went on a camping trip with my family guess what I took with me? iPhone!!! For fishing in nsw me and my friends needed licenses how did we get it? Using iPhone!!!! This is insane.
Finally I now have my hands on this phenomenon called “iPhone”.
Since I moved to the consulting group in the company, I had to give up my old number as well as the phone which gave me an opportunity to get a new phone and number. Of course I couldn’t pass the opportunity and bought the iPhone. I had to wait for 3 weeks. But I think it was worth it. I think I got everything setup except 2 things. One I have way too much crap contacts that was generated by the thunderbird + zindus. I wish there is a easier way to edit/delete these so far the cloest thing that found is ipcsuite but requires jailbreaking which I want to leave as the last thing that I want to do. The other thing is getting tethering working with Fedora 11. There are few articles that says it can be done over the Bluetooth however I am having issues with pairing iPhone with my laptop. My guess is something in F11′s bluez package in x86_64 is different from x86. An example is that there was no /etc/sysconfig/bluetooth. If that is the case my dilema is whether to keep the box in x86 and lose the capability to build x86_64 KVM/XEN guest machine but being able to connect Internet at customer’s site without another dongle to carry.
CORRECTION: After rebooting the machine.. TETHERING over Bluetooth WORKS!!!!!
