only  skin  contact works. That’s too bad for people who wear gloves on the job.

Only skin contact works.

NOTE: Well, OK—a Q-tip soaked damp with saline solution with a mild electric charge also works. But let’s not split hairs here.

The text used to read:
But it gets better. As you complete the setup process in Gmail, you’ll see a message that says: “You can now retrieve mail from this account. Would you also like to be able to send mail as iphonecrazy@comcast.com?”
 	Click “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as [your real email address].” In other words, your iPhone will not only receive spam-filtered mail from your main account—but when you reply, your main email address, not Gmail’s, will be the return address!

It now reads:
As you complete the setup process in Gmail, you’ll see a message that says: “You can now retrieve mail from this account. Would you also like to be able to send mail as iphonecrazy@comcast.net?”

If you click “Yes, I want to be able to send mail as [your real email address],” your iPhone should not only receive spam-filtered mail from your main account—but when you reply, your main email address will be the return address, and not your Gmail address.

Unfortunately, this feature doesn’t work, at least not at this writing. For now, your outgoing iPhone messages will bear your Gmail return address. But once Google fixes this feature, it will turn Gmail into a convenient, automatic, behind-the-scenes spam filter for your iPhone that leaves little trace of its involvement. 

In the meantime, at least all mail sent to your main address (iphonecrazy@comcast.net) will come to your iPhone, pre-filtered.

Note: All bets—and all discounts—are off if you have an AT&T business account.

277 (Update) 
The text used to read:
Sync the phone before it goes in for repair. The repair process generally erases 
everything on the phone. 

It now reads:
Sync the phone before it goes in for repair. The repair process generally erases the phone completely. In fact, if you’re worried that Apple might snoop around, you might want to erase the phone first (use the Restore option—page 271).
