The Big Zapruder #2: Placing Basic Calls
Some more surprises in this our second installment of analyzing the iPhone Guided Tour. Here's what we discovered and confirmed.
The Alphabet control. In addition to selecting a letter by pressing it, you can scroll your finger down the alphabet list to select the letter you want to choose.
Options during a call. You can tap home to access other iPhone applications during the call itself. Click on the green bar at the top to return to the call interface.Editing favorites. In Favorites, click Edit and then either drag a name (from the right side) to reorder or click - (it flips to a | instead) and then click remove to the right of the name. Click Done to return from edit mode.
Blue arrows. Tap them to view contact information for any name.
Missed calls display in red. Tap "missed" to only show misssed calls.

@Vince:
The phone is just as proprietary as Verizon's network. Certainly, there are unique features the iPhone is employing under AT&T, but by using CDMA, Verizon itself is actually the proprietary technology.
bigjeff, watch the 20 minute video, towards the end when he talks about settings, airplane mode, and whatnot. You can clearly see a section for 'vibrate' on the settings screen.

B) Looks like he borrowed one of Steve's mock turtlenecks...
C) The comment about it always being 9:42 reminded me of the crop circle from 'Waiting for Guffman.'
Still no visuals of the calendar app. That makes me nervous since I use the calendar on my Blackberry all the time. I wonder what's so underwhelming (or buggy) about it that they won't show it.
