Re: New and seeking iPhone Info
Hi, just an FYI, I believe that Speed Dots is the manufacturer, but AT Guys is a re-seller. So, in that sense, both you and Alan are correct. -- Raul A.

RE: New and seeking iPhone Info
True, but the gestures and such are the same. My husband has a 5 and I have a 4S, I can use his phone as easily as I can mine. The screen is a bit larger which does not bother me, the phone is lighter, the only real reason I would like a 5. I have had to help my husband do things and thee is really no difference in using his or my phone. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Paganelli Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2013 10:46 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: New and seeking iPhone Info The iPhone 5 isn't in that book.

RE: New and seeking iPhone Info
Rose: My newbie friend said he has messages where I have Safari in the dock. Is this the way the 5 phone is set up? Did they put messages in the dock, and are they messages as in texting? He would have not moved anything out of the dock as he still is struggling with just answering the phone. LOL. In fact, I passed on the info everyone gave me about podcasts, and he sent an email back to me. All it said was Holy cow! Guess he may be slightly overwhelmed! Understand that feeling, and thank goodness I am past all that! Reggie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
