Been waiting for you to weigh in
.
To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

I think you mean Sim Card not an SD card.

Sim card holds your mobile number and also contacts of your phonebook.
The iphone has 8gig onboard memory. No real need for an SD card.

The iphone is the most universal woodworking tool made eg.
1. It tells you when it's too hot or cold to work in the shed.
2. It gives you the tides so you know when it's better to go fishing than planing.
3. It can measure an angle when you've lost your protractor
4. Check a joint for square.
5. Serve as a reasonable box when your doing stupid things on the TS.
6. Adds up when you run out of fingers and toes.
7. Reminds you when it's time for a beer.......limited usefulness I know.
Oh and ah I'm pretty sure you can use it to ring people as well, although I'm yet to see one operate in that manner.
And perhaps best of all it keeps you in touch with the Forum when you are on the go.
Just to name a few things......
don't know why I don't have one really.

You're a bad man Calm...but check Hack a Day and these blokes could run a war from their Ipods.

The Stinkette and I recently purchased two 32gb Iphones and think they are great. I wasn't too sure about getting one as I don't tend to call anybody but I find that I now use it for internet, email etc. Originally Posted by Grumpy John

Quite often when walking around the city we use the internet to find a store we need to get to then google maps to help find it. The other day I was looking for a friends house, pulled over, selected his name in the address book and then google maps gave me my exact location and where I needed to go by just clicking on the name in the address book.
Only problem so far ...... the sound quality of the phone isn't great

Came across this concerning iPhones, prepaid and Telstra which may be of use to those considering one.

For some wood related uses for the iPhone, fire up the web browser and take a look at Construction Calculators Mobile English Imperial
Or get a free QR code reader for the phone and just scan the QR code below to go straight to the site.

Here in the land of the highest mobile phone charges in the world - for real - the iPhone was only available through one provider who just happens to be the single worst carrier in all of Canada. Of course a week after the wife and I get our new Blackberry Curves the bloody thing becomes available through our carrier as well!!
The BB is okay but I would much prefer the iPhone simply because it would interface with my Macs and the software I run my business on so much better than the BB does. Plus those little keys on the BB give me the yits!
The wife got an iPod Touch last Xmas and loves it but that would have passed to our girls as the music player in their room had we gone iPhone. Now we have to wait 2 years for our contract to run out or pay a bag load of extra cash for the things.
50+ with no pony tail and have had my business on the interweb since the late 80's so I guess that makes me a geek rather than a hippie or a yippie.
