Day 5 With the iPhone

I configured the iPhone to a few email accounts that I have and it started to download mail. One of the nice things was that if you opened a YouTube link in your email, it brings up the YouTube widget to play the video. It didn't always work for me, though, but it's okay.

I still have complaints with the battery: I think it's draining a bit too fast. At the rate I am recharging the iPhone (almost once a day), I will reach the 300-400 recharges in the next 1 year, after which I should start worrying about the battery and getting it replaced.

Other gripes which you might've already seen elsewhere:

Not being able to send/receive contact information over Bluetooth

The Alarm sometimes does not work; it shows the Alarm/Snooze buttons but does not sound the alarm (another first-version bug, don't worry)

Mail, Weather and other applications do not support landscape view-mode

Switching between applications is a two-step process: you have to always come back to the Home screen and switch to another application

When the iPhone is in my pocket, I can't really tell which button is volume-up and which one is volume-down. But I'm sure this will be fixed by a dozen or so iPhone accessories - headphones with volume control, that sort of thing, you know?
