Contact formatting issue

Hi Everyone,I'm trying to get my iphone contacts to be formatted properly for US contacts, however it seems that all of my contacts are automatically entered in the Japanese format even though my settings are for the US. Where would the iphone be getting these settings from?Also, after I sync my Macintosh with my iphone, the contacts aren't really synchronized. Address appear in the proper format on my Mac, but not on the iphone. I can change this by manually changing the country in each…See More

"SoftBank will probably tell you that you are liable for the cancellation fee of about 10,000 yen plus the full unsubsidized cost of the iPhone, which is like 60,000 yen. I don't know if you will be successful, but in that case I would certainly…"

Cancelling iPhone/Softbank contract

I just signed up a few days ago with Softbank (for the iPhone). I am not happy with their coverage at all (especially at my home where I primarily use it). Is it possible to cancel the contract for minimal charges? I plan to go to a Softbank shop tomorrow to discuss. Thanks in advance...See More

White plan promotions

I'll be signing up soon for Softbank on the white plan most likely. Their current promotion of free white plan for 7 months ends at the end of January. They told me that they don't know their next promotion. Has anyone heard anything about this and know what it might be? If you haven't heard, if you could take a guess, do you think it would be better or worse than the current one. I could sign up tomorrow or wait until Feb. 1st.  Thanks...See More

"A couple of notes-   1. As an in-car navi, the iPhone isnt all that great.  The problem is when you enter tunnels- the GPS signal gets lost, and the navi isnt smart enough (or dumb enough, actually) to assume that your speed is constant,…"

"The GPS function on the MAPS is not for navigational purposes it will give you directions powered by Google  and no Voice prompts. There a few in the APP store that go for about 5,000 Yen."

How's the GPS?

Hi, I'm currently an iPod Touch (2nd generation) user considering making the jump to the iPhone. I'm trying to justify the switch. One of the features that would help justify it is GPS. How do you all find this feature? I would want to use it in the car mostly and I suppose walking around would be nice too. I don't have an in-car GPS now and was wondering if this would help in getting me from A to B. Are there voice prompts? Is it easy to input and search for addresses? Thanks in advance.See More
