People seem to shurg when I talk about the iPhone and how the touch surface may not be all that great. The concept is very cool but the hard surface that the phone requires is going to be tricky to use. I don't believe that people realize how much tactile feedback they rely on every moment of the day.
Consider for a moment other hard surfaces that are buttons but don't feel like buttons: Hard non-moving buttons on microwaves or touch sensitive screens (bowling alleys/bank machines). Have you found yourself pressing the surface quite hard waiting for something to happen? There's only one issue that causes you to press that hard: no feedback. If the system beeped upon pressing the surface then you'd have feedback but most of these systems don't beep or the beep is delayed. Imagine using a phone like that where you were constantly hurting your fingers.
What about if you needed to dial without looking fully at the phone. Most of us can dial our cell phone while looking at it marginally because we can feel the boundaries of buttons.
These are the little things one needs to worry about with next generation technology and while the iPhone looks great it's not going to be a great experience right out of the box. It may take many people months to get used to the touch sensitive system.

That's probably not the best title to introduce this topic but yesterday (9th) I signed paperwork stating that I would be acquiring a house in a few months. It's quite a nice place and the folks that sold it are pretty cool as well. Parents helped me quite a bit through the process...I don't think I did all that much overall other than find the house accidentally. More details after acquisition date.

Wish to adopt within Canada. I've known Steve for quite a few years now and he's a solid bloke who'd make an awesome dad...Mel on the other hand...while I'm sure she'd make a good dad she'd make a much better mom. There are more details on their website (www.melanieandstephen.com) and if you can offer any assistance please do so as they're very deserving people.

It takes time to develop balance, it takes time to develop flexibility, that's why there's ballet...and then there's Ballet.

Finally, some details from Fido about what's going on. Apparently everybody that transferred from from Telus to Fido as prepaid customers is having this issue presently. So it's not just me which is good as it affects their bottom line.
