Accessing Address Book From Calendar

One of the distinct features I have noticed with iPhone's Graphical Interface is that it takes a zillion touch events to complete any given task such as adding a new contact, creating a new calendar event, etc.
Lets take creating a new calendar event directly on the iPhone. When I manually fill in an appointment...

Title: Meet Joe for Dinner
Location: 1234 Joe st, Joe City

Now the only way I can add the location currently is to Type the whole thing. I have that same address stored in the Contacts under Joe's name. It will be so easy if there was an option to pick the Address from Contacts. Something like...

iPhone USB cable cracks

Just today morning I realised that my iPhone USB cable broke. It is not actually a break but a crack sort-of opening at the place where cable attaches to the USB pin. It also feels like hard may be due to overheat? Now I need to make a trip to the apple store to see if I can get a replacement.

Games on my iPhone 3G

Default Alert Setting

I use the calendar application quite a bit. One of the things that I need to do is to go through a number of screens to complete one entry in the calendar. One of the most commonly visited part of setting up an entry in my calendar is the Alert section. I almost have two alerts for every calendar item and doing it each time I create one is painful. Can I set a default setting somewhere? Apple, can we do this?

I got a iPhone 3G

Ahh... one of my friend was leaving to his country and wanted to desparately buy the 1st generation iPhone and pleaded me to sell me mine. Having got rid of it I went ahead and got a iPhone 3G. Looks nice. Just now tried the GPS feature while I was driving back and it was so awesome. Although it does not do turn by turn directions, if you have someone by your side while driving they can easily navigate with the help of the iPhone.
