Wearing gloves for the cold weather doesn't do any good for my iPhone. Constantly have to take off my gloves and put them back on. Well, I got fed up with it, so I used my nose. Works great! I just look ridiculously stupid. Now I didn't get around to it, but if i wanted to scroll I could use my tongue. :p Problem is that it would have slobber all over it, but that's not new cuz everyone else seems too. :D
 
Yes, quite a few people have recently reported using their nose to answer their phone in the cold.

This technique was predicted almost a year ago... not long after the phone was announced to use a capacitive touchscreen.

It's also possibly one reason the phone was rushed to market in the summertime ;-)
 
I have a pair of Marmot gloves (without the special ipod fingers) and this style glove is awesome for a quick run to the car in the morning or to make a snow ball. I wouldn't want to wear mine all day as they are not that thick.

As for the The North Face gloves, they do work, I didn't belive it until I tried it. I had my iPhone on me to test. They wanted $50CAD for them. So that is even more in US dollars. HA I've waited a long time to say that:p
 
licking works, just tried it, but my phone didnt taste too good!


actually the exchange rate is 1 USD= 1.0076CAD, soooooooo, technically they'd be more expensive there versus here if the currency rate is the only determinant.;)

:eek:

That's sick....

(goes and tries it...)
 
ya, it's not usually very cold in Texas... but this weekend I was outside for hours and had some gloves on... i had to use my nose to check my email..
 
i just wait until i'm indoors to use my phone if i'm wearing gloves..nothing's really that urgent
 
My 14 year old niece used her tongue to answer the phone once when I called her and her hands were full. It made me laugh at the time because I had never heard of anyone answering their phone in that way and it would be just like her to do something quirky like that. Now I see that this forum is full of people who are just as off the wall as she is! :)

She could open, close and probably hold the iphone with that!

You live in Las Vegas and you say it gets cold there? Last time I was there in the wintertime (Jan. or Feb., I don't remember) it was 70 degrees. That's not very cold.

EDIT: Wow, I just looked on weather.com and it's 48 degrees there right now. The new ice age is coming!

ya but 48 degrees is hardly glove weather. I have lived here for 15 years and have never needed a pair of gloves. Except when going up to Mt charleston in the winter. 20 degrees up there and thats cold.
