Default The Honeymoon never ended, except for a brief exchange at the Apple Store.

Best phone I've ever owned, bar none.

Previous:
- Treo 650 & Palm TX
- Sidekick 2
- Sidekick 1
- RAZR

You actually use every feature of the phone - because they're easy to use.

Syncs flawlessly with every app, even on Windows (Outlook + Exchange server supported)

I absolutely love the thing... and with Software Updates, it's gonna get better and better.<ul><li><a href="http://-">http://-</a</li></ul>

Default Bluetooth support sucks? What, you can't use those dorky bluetooth headphones..

As far as car pairing, it's car specific. I sat in a Nissan Altima and it worked right away

My motorola BT headset synced right up no problem. Guess that's considered sucking.

Default Audi Car... I have Audi RNS-E with Bluetooth module. But iPhone also has issues with headsets

Great, it pairs with a car, then disconnects not long afterwards (unless connected on charger). And then default tries to connect even when your not near the car.

try this :
1. Pair with car.
2. Make a call
3. Switch off go far away from car
4. Make same call

In step 4 even though car is nowhere nearby it will pop-up Audio Sources, choose the car by default, and you have to manually reselect the iPhone in order to hear the phone call ... stoopid software !

Normal BT CellPhones will retain link with a car as long as in the car, and disconnect as soon as out of range.


Pairing with Headset is equally challenged. It will only choose Headset as default on first connection. Thereafter it's a pain to get it to relink.

Normal BT Cellphones will link with headset whenever headset is pressed on, or the boom is opened (e.g. Motorola HS...)
