Falling in love with my iPhone, again.....

Forgive me if this is redundant or mentioned in the manual (I don't read them), but I just discovered it the other day.



While reading an email on my iPhone, I noticed that all the phone numbers in the body of the email were blue and underlined. I was blown away by the fact that clicking on one of them switched to the phone application and automatically dialed the number!



To me, this type of feature is once again proof positive the the folks at Apple are just brilliant........!

    And to think, cdjoy signed up just to brag about that fact. What a heartless rat!

    I'm sorry, but this "brilliant" feature has been on other phones for many, many years, (as has the ability to text mutiple recipients)

    "Falling in love with your iPhone, again???"



    I just hope you're on the ATT Family Plan or using appropriate protection from iSkin or another 3rd party vendor. You wouldn't want to find yourself with an iPhone Nano on your hands before you're ready to commit to an additional line.

    Well, a girl sent me a message on Facebook and her number was such that I could dial it by pressing it. I don't know if this is a feature of other phones though.



    At first I did not know why it was blue and underlined, so I pressed it while eating dinner, and blamo - I'm talking to her, and I really was not ready to. How do you say, hi great to talk to you, I really don't want to talk right now, even thought I called you.
