A couple of iPhone questions

[NightLord]

I'm picking up an iPhone 3G 8Gb on Saturday, and I have a couple of questions that I wouldn't mind answered before then

1: I live in the UK and have an O2 pay as you go sim. From what I see, if you put that in the phone to activate it, it'll put it keep the number but upgrade it to an iPhone contract, is this right?

2: Does the iPhone have some kind of feedback for typing built in? Something like a type-writer-esq clack noise as you type.

3: Is it possible to use some sort of push service with my gmail account rather than signing up to mobileme?

Any help with these questions would be nice

Dunno on (1).

(2) Yes, settings -> sounds -> keyboard clicks; the silent/audible alert switch on the side must be set to audible for it to work.

(3) Generally no, but there are some workarounds like this: http://beaugiles.net/blog/2008/07/u...leme-alternative-with-push-contacts-calendar/

Thanks for the quick response, mkrishnan

The gmail thing might be a bit of a kludge, but if it works
