It seems that the iPhone email app is emerging as the real Achilles’ heel…

I’ve also been reading that the core apps are unstable, Safari especially crashing on a regular basis; and the whole iPhone itself appears prone to crashing too.

perhaps the touch screen has a mind of its own

Asam - yes iPhone has a standard headphone socket. However, it seems there’s a design flaw in the phone because the socket is recessed too far; which means that you can’t actually plug many manufacturer’s headphones into the socket.

Apple sells an adapter, though, that will let you plug any headphones in… so it seems this was flaw was actually designed in so they could charge people more money for using their own headphones.

Steve Adams - there are hundreds of iPod accessories that will fit the iPhone,

Adding a standard audio jack should be as simple as finding a iPod connector to audio jack adaptor cable.

Have you tried the iPhone with Airport Express and Airtunes over WiFi?

Ah wait, it has a standard audio jack so I have no idea what’s meant by a standard mp3 jack?

Should be able to plug in the iPod AV kit and get video out I think,

I was very dissapointed that the i-phone will not accept a standard mp3 jack like the videopod does. Also I cannot get any of my 5-bluetooth speaker headsets to play music through the i-phone…only phone audio. So far I’m thinking I bought a $600.00 mail and cam phone…

I’d hope the announcement on Monday is for 3.5G (HSDPA) and it’s probably already alive and kicking and in the research labs. If it’s announced on Monday, that would mean it’s ready for testing on the networks.

I currently have two killer apps on my S60 3rd ed, VOIP and TomTom Mobile, so the iPhone still has to prove itself a better solution.

I hope its an issue of me not knowing how to do these simple fundamental tasks, but if the iphone can’t do it, then someone really dropped the ball. unable to forward sms messages. unable to select/mark email messages and mark as read/unread. I do major emailing and texting and this is a HUGE deal for me. Also, a back button would have been nice.
