the iphone.  Now while selection in this category is quite limited, it has a significant share of the market’s profits with only 3% of the market.   Still the experience is lacking when compared to workstation or Good Messaging, or even BES.  Message delivery is tempermental (but that could possibly be attributed to Sprint), Flag For Follup Up is missing (but BES doesn’t even have that yet either), GAL lookups are slow… in short, not quite there.  Admins should be delighted to know that Good Messaging Version 6 SR 1 or higher will support the Pre and the iPhone.  Somewhere towards the end of this year…  Users should rejoice because now when they break it, Admins can actually fix it.  Let’s have a party!

Unlock the Lock

It’s pretty simple, really. Just like every other phone out now, the iPhone allows you enter a 4 digit pass code to lock the phone whenever the screen goes blank. This is quite useful in order to keep prying eyes and hands out of, say, some “personal” photos you took of yourself in the shower after manscaping, or risque emails, or whatever other sick things you do with you phone. However it’s also supposed to act a deterrent against someone who randomly picks up your from keeping because it would otherwise be useless to the. Thanks to the advent of voice operation in the somewhat new 3GS we are easily able to circumvent this protection with just a long and steady hold of the Home button. It should be noted that you can only do a few things with Voice Control, it won’t let you launch any apps or see the Spring Board. However you can dial any number you want or play music, albeit randomly. It’s a dilemma, you want to be able to access voice control without having to unlock (or look at) your phone to do so. However, one would assume that you want the lock to actually serve it’s purpose. I wonder if anyone can thing of a better way of skinning this cat.
