1) Dialing from a calendar entry. Our CIO even inserted a dial-string for capable phones that includes the dial-in number, the access codes, and the pauses required to dial a number properly. There is no evident way to use any phone numbers (even in the “location” field) to dial phone numbers. This seems like a basic function that needs to be fixed. You can dial numbers from a web page, but not from the calendar.

2. Broken Apps – there are so many bugs in both the Apple software and third-party Apps, that this phone should not be considered “production.” They quit regularaly (including Safari, caleandar, contacts, and others).

3. No “week” view in calendar – this is standard on most handhelds, and is particularly useful on the Blackberry. in addition, the calendar is quite slow. Apple could do a better job with the calendar app. What about those reminders – they come up, but no way to snooze them (I used this a lot with BBY and Q)

Anyway, Apple, please give us an updated OS. Thanks.

I’ve been checking out several US and Canadian reviews since last night and they are all lacking in reviews of the GPS functionality.

From a UI point of view, what frustrates me the most are two things: lack of a back button, and lack of cut/copy/paste. Too often I mistakenly end up in some unwanted place and just want to hit a back button. The browser has changed UI design for good and Apple should get with it.
