Apple posts a fix for iPhone 1.1.3 SMS ordering problem
We'd heard that the iPhone 1.1.3 update was causing major problems with SMS message order, but a new support doc up on Apple's site points to a relatively simple fix: turning on automatic date / time updates. Apparently the problem is caused when the internal clock doesn't match up to the carrier clock -- which seems like it'll be a continuing annoyance for frequent travelers, so hopefully a better solution is in the works.[Thanks, Dan]

I noticed a bug when you are making a call and flip the switch from vibrate to ring, it vibrates as it rings the other person as if you were getting an incoming call when you are really not. I already called and bitched to Apple ;)

Wow Thanks Apple all better now.... oh wait I'v e had that set from day 1. Perhaps that isn't the issue

I actually had that setting set already, and the problem was there anyway. So, I changed it to manual, and it defaulted to Cupertino. So, I changed it to Chicago (my local time). This fixed the ordering problem. Then, I changed it back to automatic, and the ordering problem remains fixed. Give that a try if you already have this option set.

Well, nevermind, the problem has returned...
