OK, so here's the deal.
My cell plan with T-Mobile was up a week ago so I RAN over to ATT and picked up the iPhone. I was really excited for it, and have been really impressed thus far but there are a few things about my particular phone that I am worried about.
1. Speaker volume -- I know there have been a lot of posts on this but it's especially important because I live and work in Manhattan. What is the likelihood they could fix call and speakerphone volume? Would I have to upgrade to a new phone or would it be some kind of software update?
2. Software updates -- Speaking of updates, will Apple be offering updates for first generation iPhone users?
3. Ringtones -- OK, here is something I cannot figure out. How is it possible that a phone that lets you store music won't let you pull in those music files as ringers? What do you guys think of this?
4. Alarm -- Am I missing something here? Why does my alarm clock not work? Does the phone actually have to be powered on for the alarm to go off? With previous phones this has never been the case for me. I just don't understand exactly how the alarm clock feature on this phone works -- am I missing something?
5. Battery life -- This is a huge one. I can charge my phone and typically I only get a full day out of it. On days when I'm not sending lots of e-mails, it may run down to half. Does this sound about right for other iPhone users or is my battery weak already?
6. No Support -- I probably should have looked into this before I bought the phone, but my company won't support the iPhone for e-mail. Has anyone else run into this problem? I secretly think the guy in IT hates me. Is there a way I can figure out my POP or IMAP info from my account already set up (Microsoft Entourage) at work on my Mac?
Basically, I have 10 days left to return the phone if I want and only getting hit with the 10% restocking fee. I'm really weighing my options here. Anyone that can help clarify any of the above points, I'm willing to listen. I really want to figure out what I got myself into and whether it was worth it or not.
Thanks!
