Oh well, it must just be the type of diary I buy - I have been
sticking to the same one for a few years.

Hi Tony, that is odd, but fortunately you can change preferences on
the desktop Calendar, if not on the iphone. But, diaries with a
week to each opening always start on the Monday, and I've just
realised that iCal has frustrated me for years by 'splitting' my
weekend over two separate weeks! How simple to change it to
starting on Mondays.
cheers, Susan.

The only change that I have noticed is in Calendar. I start the
month on a Sunday and was able to synchronise OK under OS2, but
with OS3 the iPhone is stuck with the week starting on a Monday
while the desktop stays on Sunday.
In desperation I am think ing of changing the habit of a lifetime
and starting the week on a Monday.
Regards Tony

Hi Peter, after reading your email, I did some playing around
with my iphone with the 3.0 update, and notice that it is
speedier, although I don't play games on it, so didn't have that
as a way of testing.
Launching applications and downloading web pages is definitely
faster. I downloaded a movie to the iphone, and it was faster
than on my laptop using the same wireless network. Here in China
I listen to audio books, and notice that I have extra control, a
30sec back flip and the ability to play at different speeds, and
there may be other subtle improvements like this that other
people notice with other apps.
I was just reading the Macworld review of the new iphone where it
mentions the speed increase, but it would be interesting if they
compared the iphone 3g running 2 and running 3 - perhaps the
speed increase is due to both the hardware and OS.
I haven't noticed a change in the battery life so far.
cheers, Susan.

Now hat I have been running iPhone 3.0 for a whole weekend, I
have to relate that it feels as though I have a new phone!
For one thing, battery life has been greatly extended. Although
my iPhone gets charged in my car while I'm driving, I am
nevertheless used to seeing more black than white in the battery
status bar at the end of the day. This weekend, the battery
status bar has been full or close to full since Friday. At one
point I was suspecting an aberration following the update, so I
tested it by playing a few games which I know chew though the
battery in short order. This did nothing more than shorten the
white status bar by a very small fraction.
Unprecedented!
Speaking of games, the ones I tested were ones which also take a
long time (30-60 seconds on iPhone 2). The longest of these took
no more than ten seconds to load with iPhone 3.0.
Running Speed Test (from Speedtest.net) showed download speeds
of up to 6.19 Megabits/sec. The best I could get under iPhone 2
was 2.03 Mb/s, and generally a lot slower than that (below 1.0
Mb/s)
Are others' experiences the same as mine, or has the download
simply cleared out some lurking bugs and I'm just catching up to
everyone else?
