I upgraded my iPhone to 2.0 and since then have had horible call quality even with the signal strength showing full service. The phone is basically unusable now for phone calls. I’m in the middle of trying to sort it out with AT&T tech support…

I have always been a loyal Apple customer, but will never purchase another Apple product again….it’s a decision based on principle. I just got back from the last apple store in my state to have iphones. The website indicated that the store had phones left last night, so I went at open and they only allowed about five people to purchase phones, because they only had a few left. In sum, I had to make three tripes to Apple stores over the past five days and, because I didn’t have time to wait four hours at a time, was never able to get an iphone.

I believe this is all because Apple has decided to ONLY sell the phone at Apple stores and not stock enough of them in order to increase hype and publicity around the product. They are using their customers as pawns in a chess game, in which they win a few extra billion dollars.

I’ve decided, based on principle, to refrain from buying an iphone or any other Apple products in the future. They should think about their customers first and worry about marketing tactics second.

Backup process did not save my notes nor favorite contacts. Be sure to email yourself notes.

No way to see all the stacks/bets at one time.

As I indicated in the article, just turn the iPhone to the horizontal position and you’ll see all the bets at once as well as having a faster play speed.

I think the Texas Hold ‘em game stinks. Too much cutesy graphics and no way to see all the stacks/bets at one time.

It takes way to long to play a hand. Online poker with real people goes much faster.

My hold ‘em/Omaha games on my old Palm Vx and my current Blackberry 8830 are much better (maybe not the skill level but the number of hands you can play in a given time).

I find the Apple game unplayable!

I had no problem activating or updating from my old iPhone, but the battery sure doesn’t seem to last very long.

I wasn’t able to activate either iPhone (one for me, one for the wife) until about 2:30pm or so EST, then the activation servers seemed to wake up.

For some reason I had a vision of the scene in Star Trek II where Spock fixes the energizers and warp drive comes back online.

Is the ringer volume louder on the new iPhone. The ringer volume on my last years’s phone is not very loud with the volume up all the way.
