Hi Bryan,
Are you using the Sampsung Haven? If not, what other Sampsung are
you using? By the way, Mike is correct; you can't surf the Web
using My Verizon on the Sampsung Haven; the one drawback I've
seen with my Haven. However, as anyone who has been on this list
for any longer than a few days and seen how much I contribute to
it can probably assume, I have found other ways to surf the Web
and check email and still keep my Haven! * Grin! Other than that,
the Haven is great for basic phone usage (calling, texting,
reminders, etc) and is totally accessible.

system?

In my case, when I make a call on my Iphone, the keypad stays
exposed.
Now, when you have it set for touch typing, as I do, and you
need for what
ever reason to generate a sustained tone, the trick then is to
swipe the
screen until you hear the digit you wish, then, what you do is
you double
tap and hold that place on the screen. This is because, as we
Iphone
users know, with touch typing, you move one finger around the
screen and,
when you hear the character you wish, lift your finger off and
that
character will type in right away.

If a given site -- like a pharmacy or a bank -- has a set of
menus one
goes
thru in a given sequence wherein one is expecting the same
results, one
can
insert pauses into numbers dialed and one can put such a number
into a
contact so one can dial the whole sequence all at once and get
to the
menu
one desires. I do this with conferencing systems where I know
the
numbers
and passcodes will stay the same.

Judy,
My husband would say that he can't make calls on the Iphone to
save his
life. I don't have this issue, but it does all take practice.
His
thought is
that the Iphone is not really for making and taking phone calls,
but
all the
other extra it does.

I've heard so much favorable press about the iPhone - does
anyone on
the
list who uses one find any drawbacks to using it, other than the
learning
curve?
