So let me get this straight...you know you can make your own ringtones
for free (which is what you want to do), but you think the program you
have to use to create them is too big?
Did you have complaints like that about your real wife? ;-)
And iToner is a third party program that works fine for custom
ringtones. Sure, sometimes they need to update when Apple releases a
new version of iTunes, but it's worked just fine since it's been
released. It even supports 2.0 already:

Of course, how do you get the ringtone to be exactly the right size,
and grab just the piece you want easily. It would be so great if Apple
provided an editing program — maybe even one that came free with all
Macs — that let you easily size and edit ringtones, and then be
transferred to your phone seamlessly via iTunes.
Oh, wait...
;-)

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. :)

The battery is not swappable, but it is replaceable. That is, when
battery life gets too short because of the number of cycles, you
can
open the case and replace it. It might take 45 minutes or so. Or
you
can have it done professionally. The original iPhone had the
battery
soldered in, so having someone do it makes sense. The 3G doesn't
have
the solder, so the only trick once you buy a replacement battery is
to
open the case.

Update: In a matter of moments I put in the new SIM, plugged it
in,
set it up, synced it, fully charged it, and made my first phone
call...all literally in half an hour. (Note that although I set
it
up myself I may have to still go back to AT&T because they
screwed
up my accounts and put the wrong phone number on the SIM. That
makes me daydream about other uses for the SIM card tool. But
other
than that...)
I'm loving it so far. It exceeds my expectations and I haven't
played with half the applications. As I'd hoped, from an
accessibility standpoint, the crispness and size of the text and
that blessed huge, easy to read even for me and your grandma
keypad
are wonderful. I heard a rumor that it has the voice built into
it,
too, (ability to read a web page and e-mail like my MBP does) but
I
haven't found that if it's in there. Just wonderful so far.
My only reticence right now is that I notice in the manual the
battery is not user-replaceable (brought to you by the same folks
that made you go to the AT&T store to get one no doubt) and there
are several caveats about it having a limited life expectancy.
Anyone know what that is? I charged it for about half an hour
this
morning and notice it is already showing battery drainage
(between
10:30 this morning and 1:30 pm now). Any ideas on what average
battery life is?
Even the packaging is superior. Everything from opening the box
to
the machine itself and the user experience has been great so far.
Let the honeymoon begin!! :)
