Answers to common iPhone questions

David Pogue has up a supplement to yesterday's posted iPhone review to answer the most common questions that he has recieved. Not too much is revealing, but there are a few gems.

Does the iPhone have a speakerphone? Vibrate mode? Airplane mode? Yes, yes and yes. The speakerphone and the vibrations are both weak, though.

Can I dial without looking? Can I dial one-handed? You can’t do much on the iPhone without looking. Then again, few people can operate a cellphone without looking. Dialing the iPhone one-handed, though, is easy. As your fingers grasp the iPhone, your thumb is free to tap buttons, scroll lists and so on.

Can I use a SIM card from another phone? The iPhone comes with an installed SIM card, the tiny circuit board that stores your account information and phone number. Apple says that you should be able to replace it with any recent AT&T card, once you activate it at iTunes. No other company’s SIM card works in the iPhone.

Another site worth checking out is iPhone Source which is looking to be the central repository of iPhone Applications available online. Unfortunately, none of them work with my Sidekick. :-(
