Last week someone rear-ended me while I was at a stop light. My car was damaged pretty good and the other person's car was severely damaged. This is the first real car accident I was involved in. First I made sure the other person was okay and then using my iPhone I called 911. The police were on the scene in minutes. I spoke with the officer and gave him my paperwork. I then called my insurance company to find out exactly what information they would need from the accident in order for me to file a report. Then I called home to let my wife know what had happened. Later that evening I went to the Emergency room because I was hurting over pretty much all over my body. As I said earlier this was the first accident I was in and I was not sure what information the hospital would want. Using my iPhone I took pictures of important documents and the case number. Sure enough when I got to the hospital they wanted some of the information that I had taken pictures of. Needless to say, I was glad that I had a mobile phone as it proved to be helpful in this situation.

The next day I got a rental car to hold me over while my car was being fixed. I went with a simple Ford Focus. Much to my surprise the car was equipped with Microsoft's Sync technology. I immediately synced up my iPhone to the service. It was pretty easy to do. During the pairing process it asked me if I wanted to download my contact list. The service works quite well and I wish I had the service in my Toyota. I use a Jabra S700 Bluetooth Speaker that works very well, but it is not as nice as Microsoft's Sync technology. I can even use Sync to stream the music from my iPhone over the cars speaker system. Overall I am very pleased with the Sync software and how it operates in the Ford Focus. Even though the accident was an unpleasant experience there are some good things that have come out of it.
