Here are a few thoughts and observstions

Question

1) I can't tell you how many times I have gone to touch the little magnifying glass to search a contact and created an new contact instead. Why put the search button right under the create a new contact button? Maybe we could move this in a future update?
2) Speaking of contacts, the lag time between opening contacts and actually being able to use them is horrible. The lag time can be anywhere from 2-5 seconds. No scrolling. No typing. No searching. Nothing.
3) If I have a Safari page open to a site and select a link, a new page opens, whenever I go back to the original page it reloads it every time. My Desktop Safari doesn't do this unless I click the reload button. Why does iPhone Safari? Is there a setting to prevent this?
4) Why is the dock connector different YET AGAIN! What does this iPhone do that the 2G didn't so that the dock connector had to be redesigned? Do I have to expect that every time I upgrade an iPhone or iPod, I have to upgrade every accessory also? I have an expensive after market connection to my Honda Accord that uses the Dock connector. It is now on 50% functionable. It works with my 5G iPod but not my iPhone. And these connectors are changed without any apparent benefit to the consumer.
5) I know this is kinda an old one but why can't I at least charge from Firewire? I wish I could sync, but I would settle for charging.
6) Volume in the earpiece is too low. And yes, my hearing is great.
7) Battery life stinks with 3G on. Period. End of Story. I can't make it through a whole day/night without it going dead. And why would I turn off 3G? That's why I purchased this phone.
AND THE BIG ONE
7) I don't know if it's the three different antenna's, the fact the EDGE and 3G are different networks, or that iPhone reception is being jammed by Klingons, but the 3G iPhone has reception problems. Yea, some of you have great reception...but there is a group of iPhone users that have dropped calls 4-7 times a day. To ask me to turn off 3G to improve reception is ridiculous. Again, that's why I bought the phone in the first place. I don't recall seeing in Apple's release info that they suggest we turn off 3G to be able to hold onto a call. This really needs to be addressed.

There is no setting to prevent this. Safari on the iPhone appears to treats each browser window as a separate session.

Apple has been gradually phasing out firewire. The older docks and connectors were designed for both firewire and USB. The 3G iPhone connector has no firewire support.

You can adjust volume with the rocker switch on the side. A lot of people also have the earpiece obstructed by cases or protective film which can muffle sound.

3G on just about every device ***** up a lot of juice. It's an energy hog.

Apple is working on the problem you are experiencing. Until they release a patch, why not just turn 3G off when you need to make calls?
