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?
