My iPhone has a totally new number (because VZW are poons about letting me port my old number over without having to pay an ETF, even though I still want to keep my line of service with them, .. I just want to take my existing number to AT&T and get a new number from my VZW work BlackBerry). So if you call my old #, it fowards to my new #. But if I call you from my iPhone, you'll see the new #. That make sense? :) I love the weather feature. I've setup here, Appomattox (where my step-dad lives), Chicago (where Jason's mom lives), Portland (where Mike and Tolovana live .. oh yeah, my other parents, too), Munich, and now Louisville. Try this for an awesome radar: In Safari, surf to 3onthego.com Click Weather, then click Animated Radar. Bookmark that page. When there are big thunderstorms, this radar will show them to you, along with arrows showing which way they're moving. It so rocks. :) I wish you had a Mac. The "Visual Hub" program makes it so easy to covert any type of video and drop it in your iTunes. I just put three episodes of Heroes on the iPhone and they look FANTASTIC! I know there are ways to do this on the PC, I just don't know how. Scotimus to the rescue? I sorta have the same phone number.

I did have a pissy moment with it two Fridays ago and returned it for a refund, but two days later, I was begging Jason to see if they'd let me buy it back. How bipolar is that? :shock: The AT&T service is still sketch in our house, especially in the common rooms. Seems to work OK in everyones bedrooms, so I (personally) am OK with that until AT&T beefs up their coverage around us. Scott has a friend who works for AT&T that had mentioned that when AT&T decommissions their TDMA service around here, they'd have more flexibility in increasing GSM coverage, so my fingers are crossed about that. The Google Maps feature rocks. I know that it's available on most other phones, but I really really like how it's implemented on the iPhone. On Saturday, my regular pool place was out of filter sand, so while standing in thier lobby, I typed in "pools near 23464" into Google maps and then hit the "List View" button, so it simply showed the names, locations and phone numbers of all of the pool places around town. Sweeeet! Yeah, I’m totally in love with mine too.
