Save three finger taps when composing an e-mail on the iPhone

Value: 
Here’s a handy feature I discovered while using the new iPhone 3.0 Firmware on my first generation iPhone this evening. Here’s the scenario. Using the mail application, you are composing the To: address. At the end of the address you need either a .net, .edu, .org or .com suffix. Here’s how you can save three finger taps.

  • Using the keyboard at the bottom of the iPhone screen, place your finger on the . key and hold it down -  the .suffix keypad (I have no idea what it’s really called) appears as highlighted in the image to the right
  • Slide your finger to the suffix required
  • Lift your finger - the suffix will be added to the end of the e-mail address being entered
That’s all there is to it. Next time you compose a message give it a shot. Give it a shot now. Send me a message and let me know what you think about Doc’s Tech Notes. You’ll find my e-mail address in the image at the right. You can click on the image for a larger view. Found another cool new iPhone 3.0 feature? Leave a comment.
