Hi all,
A couple things to say about the IPhone.
1. There's 2 ways to access it:
A. the bluetooth keyboard, which works tremendously.
B. The dots that the folks at the AT guys sell.
These overlays are dots that you can put on the IPhone, and each dot is 
an icon on the screen.
If I were getting a smart phone, I'd get the IPhone, either with the 
dots on it, or, I'd get the IPhone, and use the bluetooth keyboard.
If you get one, let everybody know what you think of that phone.
There's so much you can do on it.
I have thought about getting one.  I wanted to make the IPhone my only 
computer, however, folks have told me that now is not the time to do 
that, because of the fact that task switching is terrible on I devices. 
Task switching means multitasking. That's the nice thing about regular 
laptops, at least you can go between different tasks easily, by jumping 
between different windows.

Does the bluetooth keyboard make the operation of the phone easier?  Does easier mean useable at all?  Is the iPhone the only one that works for us, his is a Samsung?  Do all the smart phones work pretty much the same way?
