How does this scale go is it > > > >
Is the AI on the hold em game actually good cause AFAIK I've yet to see a poker game with good AI which ruins the game no matter how good it looks.
What about Super Monkey Ball? You haven't tried that? I played for about 15 minutes yesterday and it is pretty hard, it was fun though.
I had my first craving to by a new iPhone today while browsing the app store but I had to crush it cause I'm waiting to give the BB Bold a chance and to find out more about this BB thunder. I'm in no rush, I just have to stop my self from craving a new toy and making a rash decision. It's gonna be tough though with the Apple store right across the street from my job!

Out of the free ones...
Remote...sweet
Graffito...Fun and kinda silly
Tap Tap Revenge...easier then guitar hero
Box Office...Perfect! So easy!

are they crashing the entire iPhone OS or just the program is crashing and taking you back to the home screen?

Here's the catch, which I figured out, changing things in the Address Book and iCal programs...dont push. They do sync every 15 minutes or whenever you set your automatic syncing for...but the only time you get push with calender/address book is through the mobileme site, or your iphone.
Its not a big deal, but something to be aware of.

We only have Exchange 2003 at work so I wasn't using push support with my ActiveSync testing.
I have no clue why, but I woke up to an iBrick this morning. The thing is completely unresponsive. I even plugged into a sync cable I have hooked up here on the office machine for iPod charging. No difference, still an iBrick even with tethered power. I had no problems at all when I upgraded to 2.0 on Sunday and the only apps I installed were iPint, Phone Saber, and Shazam. Looks like the Apple store may be on the agenda for this evening.

This is freaking cool. Now I don't regret getting an iPhone! The added functionality is great. I thought I was getting senile already at my age because I couldn't figure out how to make Remote work.... but then I realized you needed to have wi-fi on

And yeah. I got one with all the apps I downloaded the first day.
