iPhone – I can’t hear you!

I absolutely adore my iPhone. It goes with me everywhere, and it does everything I need and more. How did I ever live without it? Right now, I’m asking how can I live with it? I have the ringer set to full-blast, and even have vibrate turned on. But for some reason, half the time I don’t hear the thing, or feel it in my pocket! Every other phone I’ve had has had a significant vibrate feature, which allows the vibration to be felt even in a purse. My iPhone, not so much. I have missed many a call (one right after the other no less) because of this. I’ve even been yelled at for not answering my phone, when I had it right there!

Sigh — the next iPhone needs to have a more significant vibrate feature so that when someone calls, I feel it.

I use the old-time classic bell ring tone, and it’s plenty loud…I have to turn it DOWN in crowded restaurants to avoid getting “the stare”.

My complaint is more about the vibrate feature than about the ringer volume. More often than not, I have to have the ringer turned off because having it on at work is frowned upon, then I forget to turn it back on. With my Blackjack, I was able to set calendar entries which would turn the ringer off during working hours, and back on after. This made my life MUCH easier because it was off when I needed it off, and I didn’t have to think about it on a daily basis, or “get into the habit” of turning it on or off as I am coming or going to and from work.

It’s the little things… Most of those little things are great though… I think this is my only pet peeve about my iPhone that I can’t work around as easily as I would like.
