Default Re: Getting my Camry on Friday, now what?

Finished the iGuide (is that from Apple? iPod, iPhone, iCal and now iGuide?)
I have a few questions:
  • What's the story with the "two week of non use and you have a dead car, call your dealer"?
  • I was a little foggy on jumping the battery
    • Can a tradional car jump a hybrid?
    • Can a hybrid jump another car?
    • Does AAA deal with dead hybrids?
  • How is the battery in extreme cold?
  • Can you elaborate on engine breaking, is that like downshifting a car with manual transmission?
  • Do the brakes wear out like a traditional car? Are there brake pads or is the braking system all the regeneration system? Does this need to be replaced?
  • Based on Prius' experince (since the Camry is too new), what is the expected life of the battery?
  • The bluetooth phone set up looks interesting. Will the display show caller information, if the person is in my Treo's address book?
Thanks!
