iPhone weirdness
I've searched for this on the forums and I haven't found anything, so sorry if its been answered before.
When I plug in my iPhone via the iPod adapter in the glove compartment life is good, I can play all my tunes. I also have the MB Bluetooth kit and calls, etc are perfect.
The only weird thing is, if I'm playing music from my iPhone in AUX mode when I send or receive a call I can hear my music through the call, not full volume but as if it was playing through the call on the other end.
This is driving me nuts, usually when a call is coming in I have to call them back if playing music through my iPhone or answer and tell them Ill call them back, if not its a caller vs. iPhone audio competition lol.

Works with my iPod, I assume it doesn't fully "understand" the iPhone.
If I use my phone in my other car with my Pioneer AVIC there isn't any issue, call comes in I answer it, playback pauses, when I hang up it resumes.
And yes, my iPhone is my play phone, it has my music, jailbroken with mi-wi for wireless hot-spot access, etc. I carry a BlackBerry 9700 for work since iPhones aren't supported. I hate carrying a bat belt full of phones

Nope. Haven't owned one. But I have owned... a few. You see, back way when GeoHot figured out how to hardware unlock the iPhone and then the Dev Team figured out how to do the same thing with software (based on GeoHot's research), I started buying them and jailbreaking/unlocking them and then turned around and resold them for a nice 50 dollar mark-up. This was before the easy do it yourself apps, when you had to SSH into the phone, edit carrier.lock files, etc.
I've made a pretty penny with the 1G and 2G iPhones, then got out of the game. I also jailbroke/unlocked them for people... but too many people calling in the middle of the night asking how much I charged to "fix" their iphone to get apps got old fast. I don't condone software piracy, so I got sick of the idiots.
So yeah... I've owned a few, know the whole OS file structure inside and out (ok... almost all of it, I'm sure I've forgotten a thing or two) and even wrote some cocoa code for them (just for my purposes).
And yes, I still think it's a mere toy.

it's like this: Long as you like it, more power to you.
But for my needs, the iPhone just can't stack up. It would fry itself in a matter of days.
Not enough storage, no multitasking abilities (don't get me started on serial multitasking), no fully open BT stack, crappy WiFi, no keyboard (yes, the onscreen keyboard work well, but I'll smoke you in typing on a hard keyboard), no videoconferencing camera (or even the ability for video conferencing with the main camera), weak processor, and so on.
The only thing the iPhone has going for it is the simple UI for simple people. I'm not calling you a simple people, I'm speaking in general.
I'll stick to my low-tech, non-multitouch, 1.15Ghz, 800x480, 32GB+32GB, 1Gig Ram, multitasking, full Linux kernel (debian) phone. :p

Simple people...lol. That is classic. As one of my colleagues said: "When I want to play I use my Mac. When I need to do real work, I am on my PC."
