I always think it's so funny how you guys have a big discussion then get it
into your heads that it's not welcomed here, or it's only of a small interest.
It's a mindset going back to the late 90's when mailing lists were created,
over and over and over the place. When things did need to be catagorised down
a bit. The traffic IMHO is quite lite on Access-UK, and as others have said
there are several iPhone and IOS related lists with a much wider reach. Sure
you'll get some topics that arent' of personal interest to you, but your
questions in turn can be seen by a vast amount of people.
For the record, for those who don't 'want to join yet another list... Feel
free to discuss IOS on here as much as you like. People who dont' want the
discussions can delete by thread.
On the other hand have at it with the lists. It seems silly to me to creat a
list that'll perhaps have 10 members from the outset. You'd be much better
adding each other to social networks. However, it's not me going to the
effort. *shrugs*.

Larry, it is to do with the ipone as it relates to how I get a keypad while on
a call.
Also with regard to the list it would take a lot of clutter off the access-uk
list which is only of interest to a fairly small subset of the membership.

Hi Alex
With regard to Orange that would be down to a specific Telecoms company which
is really nothing to do with the iphone. I still think that the two lists,
which I'm sure I've seen you on should be able to deal with most iphone queries
and personally don't think there is a need for another "uk" specific list as
all the issues faced by you with regard to voicemail etc. would also be brought
up on those lists as a general problem.
Setting up yet another list just adds another splinter to two excellent list
and I'm thinking you might instead want to set up some sort of Mobile Providers
type of list where you can discuss problems you might have with a particular
Mobile provider?
There are two Talks lists, a universal one and another relating to the Uk and
to be honest I've not seen anything specific on the UK Talks list that actually
warrants a separate list for the iphone as most topics on the UK Talks list
come up on the Universal Talks list and just means information is being
duplicated.
If you still feel you need to set up another list for i-devices then feel free
and of course I will join.

Since there's been a lot of discussion of ipods iphones ipads etc. on this
list, what do people think of the idea of setting up a uk list for idevices?
I'd be quite happy to do it on freelists if anyone wants me to.
Cheers
