Default iPhone

Just wanted to chime in about iPhone compatibility with the IS.

I haven't had any problems with it and it works great, both the signal and battery meter show in the phone screen. I had an i870 before which didn't show either so its pretty cool having it now.

I'll be messing with it more, but so far its great!

Once you get to the register screen in the navi you go to the bluetooth menu on the iphone, "handsfree" should show up in the devices section. After that you just select it and enter the passcode.

I was going to post this thread but you beat me to it....keep us updated on how it works with the car...can you still browse the internet while its connected?

Can you listen to the music in the iphone wirelessly through the cars speakers when bluetooth is connected to the phone?

Sorry again.. I am helping a off topic talk.

You should be able to get one anytime any day. Apple does a good supply job with their phones. I wait 2 hours for it and I was on #150+ in queue and still got it. Most of peeps bought 2 units on 8Gbs and I still got one. I've asked one of my pal works in the store about their first day stock count, and he said it is a top secret (cuz he did not know either). That was why I had the peaceful mind to join the line 2 hours before their releasing clock of day-one.

Great phone. Got one last night. Found out AT&T had zero coverage at my house. Went back today. Sigh.

I was #18 in line at an ATT store, waited for about 2 1/2 hours, it wasnt that bad. It was worth it and the phones awesome! Apple still has phones available right now, you can check @ http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/

But right now theres no way of adding custom ringtones, its supposed to be on a future update.

Course not, this way they can get you to buy a new fone.

You can't do that, unfortunately. The iPhone doesn't have A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) which allows you to stream music wirelessly. This is a huge oversight, in my opinion, because I'm sure there are a ton of people who would get wireless bluetooth headphones for their iPhone. Apple will probably add A2DP in the next generation, however.
