If you've ever had an iPhone (or other phone) stolen, you'll appreciate this blog post detailing how an iPhone owner tracked down his phone after the theft. I found it riveting, and I think I shall get MobileMe to ensure that should such a thing happen to my iPhone, it will be traced.

I have successfully synched my iPhone contacts list and some of my calendar entries from Google. This is a great relief, although it looks like lots of my calendar entries (for various Google reasons beyond my ken) have not made it over. So I shall be transferring them tomorrow from the BlackBerry manually.

I am getting the hang of the keyboard. I have most trouble with m/n and i/o/p, it seems. More practice is necessary. Otherwise, I like the onscreen keyboard and it seems to work well (and pretty fast) for me.

Not so happy with predictive texting. I was trying to write "St Mary's" in a calendar entry and all I was getting was "As Mary's". Figured out how to get rid of particular predictive text entries on screen so that's not now a problem.

I have deliberately not used the manual. While as a support person I was always saying "RTFM" (Read that fine manual) and thinking "RTFM" (read the f**king manual) I decided that, if the iPhone interface was as intuitive as has been noised around, I should be able to figure it out for myself after seeing dangtri do it. I got the enlarging web pages by drawing two fingers apart intuitively, it seems. Just came naturally. Quite odd, really.

So, more work tomorrow. Still no PAC numbers. HWMBO and I keep getting phone calls from Vodafone. He refers them to me, and when they call me, they don't say anything or I can't hear what they're saying (got one tonight like that). I'd better get those numbers soon.
