Your iPhone dislikes "Flickr"

Some have said that the iPhone 2.0 software is buggy. We say, "Bugs? What bugs?"

Today, reader Alfred has identified one that you can try for yourself. Open up Notes and attempt to type "Flickr." You'll find that you can't. The 2.0 software replaces "Flickr" with "flicke" or "flickt".

Here's the weird part: you can't even select the "r" button. Sliding a finger from "e" to "t" skips "r" entirely.

Here's the obvious, inelegant workaround: delete the "e" or "t" and type again. For more odd (and useful) iPhone tips, check out our iPhone 101 series.

Thanks, Alfred!

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
