[Electronics-talk] the I phone

[dewey bradley]

I'm looking at getting an I phone in December when my contract is up.
I've played around with it, I think I want one.
But what I wonder is
what about when you call some place like your bank, and you have to
put in more numbers, with the flat screen, how hard is it to do that?
Most of the time you have to put in the numbers quick.
And also how useable is the incoming caller ID?
And also I'm guessing that you can do conference calls and call
waiting calling ID with it.
I do use these options.
So I'm asking other I phone users.
thanks!
