I've never bothered to set it up, since I don't need it. In this example, you're out of luck. (I agree that's an unintentional chance oddity.)

Apple's design philosophy, despite their marketing department, is not for all people. It's especially not for you if you want to do things in a different way or multiple ways. They try to make Apple look non-conformist, but, in general, you have to conform to Apple's narrow brand of non-conformism. I find that a little hypocritical.

I've never liked WIMP GUIs, whether Apple or MS. They're contrary to how I like to do things. I find the Apple iPhone gestural system particularly annoying. I also dislike their lack of built-in handwriting recognition. Of course, VMS was my favorite operating system of the last 40 years or so, go figure.

As to uneducated, in polite society, educated people capitalize the first letter of each sentence. Commas and apostrophes are also used. Related to that, "your" is not the contraction for "you are". It's a possesive. The correct contraction is "you're".

I cant have it many ways from your phonein fact you seem to only have one option Bluetooth it doesnt even do Email

I havent been bringing it up because its not for most users but my phone is jailbroken so i do have the bluetooth functionality on my phone so 'could' get that file from you.

also my HP netbook doesnt have bluetooth so i guess they are as bad as apple too.

basically its just different to your phone no reason for the hate it semms a little extreme.

With uneducated I didnt mean you were generally 'uneductaed' or Stupid I meant you dont seem to be 'up' or an expert on the iphone it wasnt meant as an attack.

Lets not get into a grammar battle its childish, I write for a living but you may have noticed that this is a web forum... not a proffesional letter but thanks for the suggestions
