Seeing this is Apple's first foray into the Mobile market, I'm wondering how it deals with your caller log.



I know as a fact that many people want to have as much control as possible regarding getting rid of evidence of who the have called, sent SMSs to, received, etc



Why? Simple. Your significant other.



The amount of people that get busted or have discussions because the "other" snoops on their cell phone is astounding. It's happened to many I know.



I've had Nokia for all my life and its as easy as consulting your SMS/Call log and deleting entries one by one if necessary.



A welcome feature (something that no Nokia has (unless there is 3rd party software) is to make a private sub folder for your received SMSs that would require a password.



AFAIK, no one here knows how iPhones deal with this, but for me this is a major major issue

    Wow, it must be hard on those "many I know" people to live their lives so dishonestly.
