iPhone Sales Training Manual Photos

i've been trying to get an answer to this but haven't, yet: will Address Book, iCal and Mail sync completely to the iPhone?

--will contacts sync in their entirety, including home and work addresses, multiple phone numbers, AND the notes fields?
--iCal events including links, alarms, etc?

Having all the cal/contact info from my notebook with me when i'm carrying the iPhone is an important factor in my buying decision. Unacceptably convoluted (or simply incomplete/lacking) syncing features with other, otherwise nice phones, has been a big disappointment.

Yes, iPods sync contacts in their entirety and iCal events contain alarms so I see no reason for the iPhone to not include these basic features.

I wonder which chapter trains salespeople to tell folks not to touch the iPhone with a 10 foot pole? My mother-in-law was at a Cingular/at&t store today and the sales guy told her to stay away from the iPhone simply because no one would insure it. I've never dropped a dime on a protection plan and I figure if I drop a $600 phone it's nobody's fault but mine. She said he was telling everyone the same thing, so hopefully he'll drive down demand in the area enough that there'll be one in stock when I get there on the 29th :)

That AT&T rep is either an Apple-Basher or simply stupid...

***NOT ALL CELL PHONES ARE INSURABLE***

Proof?

Here we go - googled and found this in about 5 seconds...


The reason that insurance is not offered for the motorola v3 Razor phone is as stated before because of the price of the phone. It is a $700 phone and the insurance deductible for a replacement is $50 no matter what phone model you have. Do you realize how many people would 'lose' their phones to get another one for a family member? This happens all the time with other phone models and Cingular basically eats the cost. It's not affordable for the company as I'm sure wouldn't be for any other wireless carrier. To be honest, if you feel like you would need inurance on this phone it obviously is not the phone for you. It's a great phone. It has high speed internet, video playback capabilities and has a VGA camera installed but who in their right mind would pay $500 for this phone with a 2 yr service agreement anyway? Maybe you should just stick with the motorola v551. This phone has almost all of the same capabilities and is insurable. It just isn't as slim as the other phone. Is that really that important for an extra $400? I say no.

Hmmm I guess that means that sales rep wouldn't have recommended the RAZR when it was first introduced.... Somehow I think not...

I wish the iPhone was a little more expensive and came in great colors like red, white and blue. Right now it makes me feel like I'm about to eat a McDonalds burger. I want something with class. I want it to make me feel like I'm chewing on a delicious Sizzler or Ponderosa steak. Shoot, I'd even settle for the feeling of traveling in an exotic land, like the garlic laced goodness of an authentic italian Olive Garden breadstick.

Erm, all the TV advertisements are of iPhones completing various tasks (email, web, photo, music, calls, etc.) How much more technical-feature oriented can a commercial get?

I see something in my local news about the iPhone almost daily, even if it is just a single line.

So not just Advert, also in the news.

90 percent of everyone I ask have heard of the phone and want it.

Corporate connectivity. Price. Seriously, the iPhone and Blackberry are not direct competitors. Oh sure, a small minority will consider mobile email the primary application and will evaluate both, but those wanting a consumer-oriented multimedia/web/phone device will not, just as they don't today, look at Blackberry's options, and those wanting a communications device that integrates with their office email/calender/etc system will ignore the iPhone.

The serious competition is with more apparently ordinary phones like the RAZR and its assorted stylish clones, plus messaging "Lifestyle" phones like the Sidekick. People will ask themselves whether they want a cool looking phone for $200 that does X, or one for $500-600 that does X and Y, and looks and feels better, and will also replace their iPod.

Blackberry doesn't have much to worry about. Neither does Palm. The companies with the most to lose are Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung, though the likely low sales (due to high price) of the iPhone, at least for the first few months, will give them a chance to see what's happening and change what they're doing. As for the makers of the Sidekick, they better already have a plan in place as the only other thing that'll save them right now is that T-Mobile can't sell iPhones.

Blackberry is a business phone, iPhone is a consumer phone. Businesses worry about encrypting the info on the phone, and all trasmissions being encrypted. The iPhone does not play in that area or even try.
 
GPS Capability?

Just speculation:

But, while looking for "Calamari" in the commercial, or while Mr. Jobs searched for Starbucks locations during the Keynote, I could not recall a single instance of letting the phone know where they were before they asked for locations.

Doesn't this hint to the fact that GPS has to be a part of the iPhone? How else would the phone know where they are?

Or did I just miss something? :D

I would think that vendors of other high end devices like the Blackberry would be real nervous right now. Anyone know a feature that the Blackberry has that the iPhone doesn't deliver - yet?

I do believe the battery life is stated on the Apple website - http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/specs.html

5 Hours for talk/video/browsing
16 hours for iPod playback

As for vibrating alert...no idea! I would be shocked if a mobile phone didn't have it. I do agree with you though that there is a lot to still be answered- not long until they are out though. Guess we can wait a few weeks more..

Yo, you don't mention stand by time.

What I like about the iPhone is that it's just as good to own and use even after the service plan is cancelled. It becomes an instant super-iPod, although the 8GB drive is not optimal for that.

It's too bad I despise paying large sums of money for a phone and paying for data plans, I'd own an iPhone then :/
 
Isn't it amazing how "leaky" AT&T is?

A manual like this would never get out of Apple. They have their employees absolutely petrified about leaking info.
 
Tomorrow there will be a lot more of this leaked since most every ATT rep will be getting their first bits of information tomorrow. By 9AM I'm sure macrumors will be flooded with more info.
