[IxDA Discuss] iPhone - review

[Håkan Reis]

Missing review: How about the phone? Most reviews focus on text input, web
browsing, syncing, music and video playing. What about the phone
functionality?

- How many taps to dial a number.
- How many taps to find a contact and select the number to call (if multiple
numbers for a contact)
- How easy to answer the phone?
- What happens when you surf or listen to music and a call is coming in.
- Is it easy to go from other functions to call a number?
- How easy to select a number in another application and call it
- etc.

You know, the *phone* functionality of the iPhone. I'm just curious!.
