com.apple.iTunes.plist (iTunes settings stuff) was corrupted. We
quite iTunes, moved that file aside and restarted and now I could sync.
Some observations:
1) iPhone is useless until you get it activated which currently can
take MANY hours as AT&T wasnt up to the task
2) If you have sync issues try blowing away com.apple.iTunes.plist
3) Nested contact lists in AddressBook don't sync to iPhone. I had
created nested lists since the Razr only let me sync one list so I
used AddressBook nesting to do it. Now with iPhone you can choose
multiple lists so its not a big deal.
4) The mail stuff needs some real TLC from apple. No spam control, no
bulk operations. I set it up for my gmail account and it wants me to
re-read 400+ messages on there and there's no bulk operations. Come
on apple.
5) The touch screen works good, its going to take getting used to the
typing but its faster than I thought already.
6) My face oil makes a nasty mess of the phone. Im no pimply teenager
any more (40...) but i'm making a work of art look ugly just by using
it.
And of course there are the things i'd like to see that they skipped:
1) Instant messaging/chat - AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Gtalk
2) Music for ringtones (although i'm partial to my Quacks now)
But beyond the above my initial impression is that its an amazing
device.
