Avitable – “Faiqa’s Android” would be an awesome name for a band. Dibs!

Marilyn – it was a difficult switch for me, and naturally I dig on Apple for not being a BlackBerry. But bottom like is that even with the inferior keyboard, the lack of speedy data entry, no ring profiles, worse battery life, few business features and horrible cell coverage, I’m still happier with the iPhone.

Apple. Making people miserable and happy at the same time.

Karl – I think if they’d integrate with Google Voice it would help too. We already have Google Contact to iPhone contact sync, and facebook pictures to contact sync, why not Google Voice ring/contact preferences as well?

If you don’t know Google Voice, one of the cool features is you can use the groups you already have set up and assign actions to each, and override per person. And you can schedules.

When wife calls, it rings directly to cell. When friends call, it rings work first, then cell but only before 7pm. When unknown people call, it goes directly to voicemail and google transcribes te message and texts it to me, but only before 9pm.

So.

Google buys Apple.

I can see it now. iAndroidPhone

Dave2 – per contact ring tones? Another thing the Blackberry does natively.

Wake up Apple! This is easy stuff! It’s not like I’m asking you to run over the RIM backbone!

It was more like “blah blah blah blackberry is better”. Heh. Must honestly, for me there are more things the iPhone does that I like than the BB. This list does highlight the things BB is superior in, and it seems like it’d be *so* easy for Apple to fit them in.

I did look at the rundown of new features at the time but I can’t recall if they put any enhancement into the ring profiles or not.

I’m just glad I have a 3GS so I don’t have to worry about it being supported for a while.

I saw on Faiqa's Android that when you look at a contact, you can see all text messages, calls, and emails, to and from them as a part of their profile. I loved that function. .-= Avitable´s last blog ..Swordless Sunday =-.

I don't think I'll convert from the blackberry... I'm not big into phones but I like berry-filled breakfast muffins. .-= marilyn´s last blog ..I Bet This Meme Has a Name =-.

Great ideas. Love the profiles idea, been saying that for a while now. I'd also like to be able to select different actions for different contacts. Maybe even be able to set up groups so that most people go straight to voicemail after midnight, but people in my "CLOSE FRIENDS" group get through to me right away. Or set it up so that Person A can call me any time of day, while Person B can call me between 9am and 9pm. Etc. More customization for contacts, I say. It'd go hand in hand with the profiles. .-= Karl´s last blog ..Waiting Room Blues =-.
