Hey folks -

Question for anyone who has 10.10 installed. I have two iPhones, a 5 (personal) and 5c (work). My primary work machine is a 15" rMBP.

Has anyone tried pairing two phones to 10.10 for phone calls, texts, etc.? Rather than using call-forwarding I'd like to be able to use both phones during the day directly from Mac OS.

I do, two 5's (one ATT the other Verizon)...at some point both phone started ringing from the same call at the same time, quite freaky, but then it went away...I assume it's some behind the scenes work being done by apple.

dp2 was way too buggy for me to put up with (yeah I know it's early on the DP life) so I rolled one of them back to DP1 and the other one to 7.1.2 (would have toughed it out through dp3 but had some apps that suddenly HAD to use but wouldn't work with dp2).

now awaiting dp3 to see what kind of progress has been made and might go back in with both phones...I really love the quick reply & predictive keyboard features.

Nice, thanks for the info on that.

I'm constantly on the move so am waiting for the phone/sms and handoff functionality. I'd love to leave my phones in my bag in airport terminals and just use my laptop (which I usually have out working) if needed for Phone/SMS.

I have the pop up on my rMBP13" asking if I want to pick up the call on occasion, but haven't actually done it, maybe I'll play around with it over the weekend. Aside from that, getting the text/sms from non-iOS on yosemite has been awesome!
