Been using iPhone for the last 2 days. Well.. I'm not really sure I want to use it as my day-to-day PDA phone.
Reasons..
1. I use Mac at home but PC at work. Most of my appointments are for work. But I could only sync to 1 computer. Duh...
2. I use a lot of SMS during my work since it's too noisy at work sites. But I can't forward SMS, and I can't send reply to multiple parties. What gives?
3. Simple thing like changing ringtones to my fav songs is a hassle. I've done some reading up and post the steps at the end of this entry. But this doesn't apply to SMS alerts.
4. Installation of applications. I haven't even tried to read up on that yet. So far I haven't been able to install anything from iTune app store. Supposed to go through some more steps.
5. I'm still struggling with the keypad.. I want my stylus!!!

iPhone is cool. But after a while the novelty wears out. Now right I'm thinking of switching back to WM6 and use iPhone purely for surfing, emails, music and video. I still need to replace my D810 cos it's giving me some problems lately. HTC Diamond looks good.

How to create custom ringtones for your iPhone...
1. Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the “Import Using” drop down menu to “AAC Encoder”
2. Right click on the song, select “Get Info.” Go to Options tab. Check both “Start Time” and “Stop Time” boxes. Type in the time you want your ringtone to start/stop. The ringtone has to be 30 seconds or less. Personally I prefer to use an audio software (eg Wavepad) to clip the portions I want.
3. Right click on your newly “clipped” song. Select “Convert Selection to AAC.”
4. After the song is encoded, go to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop.
5. Click on the song and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (ignore the warning msg that appears)
6. After the extension is changed, double click on the file to add it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section.
7. Sync your phone with iTunes.
