I have the iPhone now and I hate it :(

I really miss my 8525 that I sold last week in order to buy this phone.

So far this is my second day with the iPhone and I hate it so far. Here are the reasons:-

1. Why can't I transfer photos, sounds to another phone using the Bluetooth.
2. NO IM. Most phones, even low end phones have IM built in.
3. No support with Exchange Mail, unless it's MAPI? Why?
4. Broweser does not support Arabic text.
5. The Internet browsing via Edge is exermly slow

I am going to give my self another 3 days to see if I change my mind. I hope I will since I have spent $600.

Google: this is how to disable Vista Desktop Search Index

It is totally untrue the only way to turn off Local Desktop search is by disabling the Windows Search Service. Here are the steps:-

1. Start > Control Panel > Indexing Options
2. Modify > Show All Locations
3. Now Uncheck all the locations currently check
4. Uncheck the Offline files and Outlook if selected.

Google claim that Vista does not allow third party Desktop search applications to install / run is misleading.

Why you should buy the XBOX 360

After having my XBOX 360 for over a year, guess what happened to it last week? In the middle of an intense game play the system crashed and we got the Red Ring Of Death. So I called the XBOX support 1800-4MyXBOX and they were very helpful. I had to go through first this automated voice system name Max. To get through directly just say :"Supervisor". When I finally got through, the customer support rep informed me that my warranty has expired and I have to pay $138 to fix and it will automatically give me 2 years of extended warranty. I told him how wrong this is especially even though we have had the system for over a year, we only used it for the last three months and how our PS2 that we have had over 4 years is still running nicely.

After speaking to the supervisor I was granted a one time deal free repair, with an optional $50 2 year extended warranty, which I will get for sure.

Therefore, I highly recommend anyone to buy the XBOX360

Jeff Hawkins (of Palm) idea behind Foleo sounds convincing
