So they must still have the old version of the manual up on the Apple website. I hope they update it soon. But that's good news. Thanks.
Okay, so I need to find something new to nit-pick...ummmm...Ah ha! Alright, the issue of me being nerdy enough (and it really does help from a low vision standpoint) of adding custom ring tones. Now you must buy them from Itunes instead of loading your own. I hear there are a lot of programs to do it but Apple keeps shutting them down by updating Itunes. Very Gates-ish behavior. I can make them in Garage Band but it's silly to have to use this huge program (which you know from previous posts I have issues with anyway) to do such a simple thing.
The honeymoon with the new Iphone goes on, but I notice my bride doesn't look the same in the mornings. :)
