poor quality glass panel iphone 4
I am writing to complain about the quality of my new iphone4. As owner of all the previous generations of iphone, I am extremely disappointed that the glass panel of the new iphone was so fragile, that it could not with stand a light fall from about 1.5 feet when I get off the car, the back panel was smashed and I think its totally unacceptable for a product from Apple. The broken pieces are with sharp edges and very easy to get people cut!!! And the claim on apple website about the glass is a total lie!!!All the breakthrough technology in iphone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass — the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable.I request a full refund/replacement for this. iOS 4
Ive upgraded from PC to MacBook Pro and iphone 3GS to iphone 4-HELP
I am currently using a PC and have my iphone 3GS synced to that unit.I decided to upgrade my PC to a MacBook Pro two days ago and have received my new iphone 4 today.My question is – how am I able to get my current iphone 3GS back up that is on my PC on to my new MacBook pro so that I can sync my music/contacts/notes/messages etc to my new iphone 4?I have avoided syncing my current iphone 3GS to the new MacBook as I knew I would be receiving my iphone 4 this week.Please help – Losing my iphone data is not an option as I have extremely important contacts/text messages that I need to keep for legal reasons. I really do not want to have to lose all of my data because I have upgraded and purchased better technology from your company. iOS 4 PC to MacBook - iphone 3GS to iphone 4
iOS4 iphone 3G performance
Since the iOS4 upgrade, apps crawl and crash. Apple tech support helped me disable push technology for calendars and notes and messages. Crippling the functionality improved performance back to pre iOS4 levels. She said Apple was collecting information about performance problems with iOS4 on 3G and there would be a software release in the future to address it. c2d iMac Mac OS X (10.6.4) iPhone3G MacMini DellVostro
Stereo Bluetooth Headset Problem A2DP OK Microphone HSP Doesnt Work iphone 3G
I have a Nuvelli bluetooth stereo headset with microphone. The headset works great for listening to music on my iphone. However, I noticed that the microphone part of it doesnt work when paired the iphone: a caller cant hear me, and I cant record a voice memo. So, the stereo audio receiving works, but the iphone wont recognize that the device has a microphone as well. How can I get the iphone to use the device as stereo headphones and as headset *with microphone for calls*?Details of the bluetooth device: Bluetooth v2.1+ EDR technology ● Talk Time: Up to 9 hrs. ● Support Bluetooth Profile: HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP iphone 3G Windows 7 iOS 3.1.2

Text Messaging-iphone Integration with Ford Sync
It is unfortunate that a technology leader such as the iphone is missing a significant feature that RIM and Android have, and likely losing market share accordingly.Through the Message Access Profile bluetooth profile, Ford Sync cars (1+ million sold to date) have the ability to read out your text messages via bluetooth, ensuring that the driver isnt distracted. With so many laws banning driver distractions (hand-free requirements, no text messaging initatives), this is a significant safety issue for todays iphone owners.I have seen many posts for years from users wishing that Apple would get on board with this technology, but so far it hasnt been raised as a viable option to implement.Please reply to this thread if you are one of the 1+ million Ford Sync owners who also own an iphone and wish this feature was implemented. I luckliy own both a BlackBerry and an iphone, but not all people do. PC Windows 7
Utterly abysmal iOS4 performance on iphone 3G. What can I
For the past 2 years I have experienced ever declining performance and responsiveness of my iphone 3G. Kind of the same experience ive had with every computer Ive ever owned. Ive come to just accept that as a fact of owning that kind of technology and that every once in a while youll have to wipe and start over if you want things to get better. However, my 3Gs performance towards the end of the pre-iOS era seemed to bottom out at a tolerable level. Not to be confused with acceptable.... but just tolerable.With iOS though, we have breached the tolerable threshold. My iphone is actually quite a nusance to operate now. I kind of have to let out a sigh when I get a text or want to check my email because I know its just going to be an awful wait until i can accomplish anything on the device. Here are some examples of what im experiencing.Unlock slider - 4 to 7 seconds of unresponsiveness before or after slidingText messaging - Probably the most maddening of all. ~8 seconds to start the app itself and 5 to 8 seconds of unresponsiveness after hitting the send button for a text message, barf.Keyboard - Almost anything that wants to bring up a keyboard is basically a 5 second period of unresponsiveness while its loading.Safari - Safaris performance was already sub par, with the devices ability to render the page being the bottle neck, NOT the bandwidth. As of right now though, it is definitely a good 30% worse across the board.Apps - Alot, but not all apps, have taken a significant performance hit in general.It has gotten quite painful to use my phone with this kind sluggishness. It almost makes me wonder if developers put a few while loops in the 3G iOS version just to incite upgrades to the new iphone 4.Does anyone know what can be done to improve performance, or possibly a way to revert to iphone OS 3.x? The latter is not preferred because I wouldnt want to give up the insanely innovative and new concept of folders that comes with iOS. Its one feature I really dont want to sacrifice. iphone 3G iOS 4 Terrible Performance

iphone 3G Unknown Error 37-Phone UNUSABLE
I have contacted Apple about this but they have ignored me, which is what I expected from the worst customer care company in the world.I am mad, I have had no phone for nearly a week and the ONLY tech support on Apples website is by phone (hihi thanks I dont have a working phone because of you punks)or through their ******** knowledge base that doesnt address questions that they dont want to discuss (I.E. ones where it is their fault like my problem).So, I tried to update my 3G to iOS4, and basically now iTunes (terrible software) insists that the phone is in recovery mode and must be restored in order to work. It wont restore, and gets an Unknown Error (37) every time, and now my phone wont switch on.Thank you for ignoring my emails apple, and for not having online tech support like any standard technology company and please dont patronise me by asking me some dumb questions like Did you turn your computer off and on again and What version of iTunes are you using.I HATE APPLE FOREVER, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF CRAP FROM THEM AS LONG AS I LIVE!Thank you! iphone - PC-Win7 iOS 4 Error (37)

Genius Texting iphone
As much as I love texting and typing on my iphone, I have to admit that the commercial for the Samsung Omnia 2 caught my eye. I went to the store and tried it out and found it fast to pick up and easy to use, not to mention how quickly it was to type out a message without the actual typing. Do you think Apple will adopt this technology for the iphone? I hope Swype becomes an available option for texting/typing on the iphone, and was just wondering what others thought of this. iphone OS 3.1.3
new iphone user looking for advice 3G
I am pretty happy with my phone; had it for about 3 months, but would appreciate some advice from non-luddites and experienced iphone users.I bought a mophie case/battery extender, which has helped the battery a bit, but now read that its not the best option. Can you suggest which is the best option, just for future reference?Im interested in protecting myself against the lost phone, phone theft thing; I understand theres an app that you can use to track the phone if its lost or stolen. Can someone offer some advice about what this costs (Im in Australia); and how big an impact it would have on the battery to have the locater switched on all the time. (bearing in mind that Im not going to know when I am about to lose or have my phone stolen)those of you who have had iphones for a fair while, can you give some hints about extending the battery life? Ive pretty much shut down all the big power users so the life has improved. What is the current wisdom on completely discharging the battery once a month? Its so hard to keep up with changes in battery technology.And the other thing; how difficult/expensive is it to get it replaced? I have heard that its quite expensive to sort out a new battery for an ipod; is the iphone a huge hassle as well. And what sort of life are most users getting from their batteries (before they need replacing)? it does occur to me that I should have checked this before I bought the thing....I was playing around with the voice control, voice commentary thing; every - and had a real hassle trying to reset it; any advice about other options that I should just leave the **** alone? I want to get the best out of my phone, but this last experience was a bit frustrating. (luddite)Id really appreciate any advice.cheers asus iphone OS 3.1.3
OS change iphone 3G
I am not an iphone user so I do not know much about them, but I have worked in wireless for 10 years so I am savvy when it comes to wireless technology. A friend purchased a iphone online and he wanted help syncing it to iTunes. I installed the latest version of iTunes and when I hooked the iphone up via USB it loaded Windows Mobile 6.1 onto the device replacing the iphone OS?!? This is baffling and I dont know how or why it happened, but I do know that I am unaware of how to fix it. Now that it has Windows Mobile on it iTunes wont recognize it. When I try and reset the device holding down the sleep and home it does show the apple icon, but then it still continues to load Windows Mobile 6.1. If any one has any suggestions of how to reload the original OS or how to get iTunes to recognize a iphone running Windows Mobile, help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to anyone willing to help,Amanda Other OS

Ive Got This Really Awesome Idea It has to with iphone. 3G
Ok, so I do not know how plausible this would be but it would be awesome if it were possible. With todays technology i think it would be. Anyway, I had this thought as i was writing down a major plot point to my story and the phone rang. Well I didnt get it cause i was in the middle of something. SO then i had this thought. WHAT IF THERE A BUTTON YOU COULD PRESS WHEN DIALING A NUMBER THAT GAVE YOU THE CHOICE TO MAKE IT AN URGENT CALL OR A REGULAR CALL...then the other phone that would be ringing would ring faster, or in a different ring tone if it were urgent, and regularly if it was a regular call. YOU SEE? PROBLEM SOLVED! Now, thats even better than caller ID. pretty new its silve

Build-in SMS function for iphone3GS
I have just started to use my iphone recently. I am a heavy sms user and I find that the current SMS/ Message function in my iphone 3GS is very unfriendly and make me feel very frustrating..the following issues I have encountered and hope some good experts out there could provide some good advices...really at fix...1. Sending SMS to Multiple receipents. I have to add the receipent one by one from the contact book to the SMS screen. This process is tedious and time consuming especially if I need to send out to 100 receipient at one go.2. Lost message. I have to be very careful in typing the message, once I touch the edit button or press the menu button, the message that I am typing will be lost and cannot be recovered. It is unlike some smart phone where this message is stored under the Draft.3. Stored folder. There is no stored folder for SMS. Sometime while I am keying a long SMS and I need to handle the phone or to work on other things, I could not save the SMS to elsewhere for future working.4. Replying via Chinese Character. It is another challenge if I need to reply the receipient by Chinese Character. In fact I do not know how I could do it.5. Small Display Screen. The display for the SMS that I am typing is too small. I would need to scroll back to see what I have type...iphone is a state of art technology and it meant good for business function..however with such a build in SMS software, it is really disappointing. Is there any software available in the market which I could purchase, download,etc to bridge this gap. Really need someone to advise me on this SMS concern. Thanks. Dell Windows XP
Need help-weve somehow blocked phone iphone 3G
hi - we have just got a new iphone and Ive plugged the usb in to my laptop and downloaded the newest version of itunes. Then I downloaded the iphone software and then an error message came up on the laptop (sorry I closed it and I cant remember what it said, I know that is really unhelpful). It was something to do with there being no sim or the sim needing a pin.. the iphone said to put in a pin so we put in the pin for when you turn the phone on. It says sim locked insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone. It wont let us do anything except emergency calls.Can anyone help? We have tried to call tmobile but they are closed for the night. Dell vostro 1000 Windows Vista AMD turion(tm) 64 X2 mobile technology TL-58
Netbook vs. iphone: A better comparison
Im going to break from the well-established tradition of comparing Netbooks to notebooks. This time my yardstick is going to be the smartphone. And no better yardstick than the Apple iphone.This post updates a year-old piece (which, by the way, at least one writer took exception to).As the holiday season approaches, many consumers face an ostensible choice between an inexpensive Netbook or more expensive notebook. I personally face that choice (or, at least, I thought I did).Let me state up front that though I have used Netbooks on a temporary basis, I have never owned one.I (now) believe that Netbook comparisons to mainstream laptops (which will always disappoint because Netbooks are slower, screens smaller, keyboards more cramped--and this list of comparative shortcomings is long) is really the wrong way to look at it. Let me illustrate.I recently interviewed the chief technology officer for a large school district in Louisiana that had purchased a lot of Netbooks. And I asked what I thought was the most pertinent question: werent performance and screen size a concern? She quickly pointed out that my perspective was all wrong.In short, students in K through 12 are accustomed to iphone-size screens and performance. So moving to a Netbook is a big step up. From this perspective, the screens are large, the keyboards expansive, and the performance more than adequate.This suddenly made a lot of sense to me because of my personal experience. Take the iphone 3GS (or Motorola Droid or BlackBerry Storm, take your pick ). To state the obvious, in many respects, this is a personal computer platform for e-mail, texting, Web surfing, music, navigation, YouTube, and the list goes on.In other words, the iphone is for consuming data and media as well as light production. Like the Netbook. But the Netbook, obviously, takes this to the next level. It adds a keyboard and a larger screen, which also makes it potentially a better production platform. So, its an iphone Plus, if you will.And heres the real proof in the pudding. Where do you see Netbooks being sold these days (think Nokia Booklet)? At phone carriers, like Verizon. The last time I visited a Verizon store, it had 3G Netbooks prominently displayed right next to the Motorola Droid.The point seems obvious to me now. Want to be more productive? Step up to a Netbook. And this follows the same logic of the CTO at the Louisiana school district. And upcoming ts and media pads from Apple and others will also be marketed as a high-end iphone-like device, in my opinion.So, in the next month or so when I try to sort out which Netbook to buy (This CNET review says the HP Mini 5101 is one of the best Netbooks on the market now), Ill be shopping for an upscale smartphone not a stripped-down notebook.NOTE: Im not suggesting that anyone replace their iphone with a Netbook. My point is that a Netbook can be used as an inexpensive adjunct to an iphone or Droid for people who need to be more productive than an iphone (or Droid) would allow.Originally posted at Nanotech - The Circuits BlogVia:Netbook vs. iphone: A better comparison
iphone drops from iTunes when manually syncing music
Tonight is not a good night for technology in my house. But Ill limit this post to my iphone issues.When I plug in my iphone 3G to my iMac, it initally shows up in iTunes. I just tried to drag a playlist to the iphone, and it will start syncing, and then suddenly the iphone no longer shows up under the Devices in iTunes. The phone will stay showing Sync in Progress for who knows how long. I stopped it after about 5 mins by doing a manual reset on the phone. Ive restarted iTunes, Ive restarted the iphone. All of my software is up to date, and the iphone is using the latest firmware.I noticed something else as well. I typically use a dock to sync my iphone. Earlier tonight for the first time ever, when I sat my iphone in the dock, it would start to charge, but it wouldnt show up in itunes. That has never happened before. I assumed it was an issue with the dock, but now Im thinking perhaps its an issue with the phone or itunes? Just not sure.Any help would be greatly appricated! iMac Mac OS X (10.6)

Why wont Apple fix this 3.1 update already iphone 3G
I guess I am one of the lucky ones who did not update my iphone software from 3.0.1 to 3.1, but I feel for those of you who did and cant use your iPhones now fully--or at all.I converted to Apple from Windows last year because of the stories of better technology and customer support with my purchase of a 24 iMac and sealed the deal with the purchase of my iphone 3G last April. I must say that the better technology and customer support stories are true, so I can not understand why this is happening with this iphone upgrade.I called Apple and a rep did acknowledge to me that there is a problem with the 3.1 OS, but that alone, is not enough. Apple needs to fix this already, so I support all of you who are demanding this be done.Cmon Apple . . . Get going or you are going to lose a lot of present and future customers!!! iphone 3G iphone OS 3.0.1 24" iMac
New iphone user Very unhappy
Dear friends,In the past 2 weeks I purchased a new iphone. I left the comfortable world of Verizon and jumped into AT&T so I could use this new technology. I was so excited to have options such as the new iBird PRO, Trails, Wikipedia, Sudoku, Maps, and much more. On September 23, 2009 my wife and I went on a trip to Oregon. From the 24 until now, still in Oregon, I have not had one day that I have been able to use my new phone. Can you imagine my shock that from northern California, through the center of Oregon to northeast Oregon, to Portland, due south to our current location which is about 4 hours from the California boarder, nada, nothing, note even one bar on this expensive phone. Given that I spent over $330 for the service, phone, extended 2 year warranty, etc., and a monthly fee of approximately $60, you can imagine my discuss at having an expensive paperweight! Im especially upset that my wife continues to use her Verizon service, which cost me about $30 a month before I switch, and has had services everywhere we have gone through-out Oregon.Can anyone explain why I dont have service? Am I also stuck with this phone, or, as they should say on TV, an expensive paper weight, for 2 more years? You obviously can tell that Im just a little upset that I cant use my phone. What is the point of having a great piece of technology that lies dominant in its case?Any suggestions? I really do want to keep this phone.... MacBook Mac OS X (10.6.1)
iphone data detector tech absent
The iphone seems to be missing a very helpful technology that works very well in Apples Mail App, its called Data Detectors, I think. This tech would really make sense on the iphone seeing typing is a pain in the neck and I find copying and pasting a chore ( although it is better than the previous iphone software).Anyways, I want Data Detectors tech on the iphone! iphone iphone OS 3.0
Elegant feature of Black Berry Bold 9000 iphone
Overture:The company at the back of the BlackBerry is Research in Motion (RIM). In 1999, The first BlackBerry phone was launched and since then, several pleasant models have been appeared in the market. The current BlackBerry product portfolio now endeavors at a broader target group of regular consumers. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 smartphone has obviously taken more than one thing into account.Impression: IThe BlackBerry Bold 9000 smart phone appears in a simple black box with the BlackBerry logo as the only enrichment on the outside. The included accessories are a headset, a data cable and a battery charger. Unfortunately, there is no software CD included; the software is available for download on the BlackBerry Internet site. The BlackBerry Bold mobile phone looks very stylish with a beautiful finishing touch. The back side of this mobile phone doesnt match the front in my opinion. However, during my test period with the Bold 9000 I received a lot of positive feedback to it. On one side of the handset two shortcuts are found for voice dialing and the camera function.Stunning Qwerty Keyboard: The front of the BlackBerry Bold 9000 handset clutches a spectacular display with below it, a full QWERTY keyboard. The monitor is crystal clear. It already managed to astonish one with its background picture. Furthermore, some videos were conveyed with the test sample, in which the quality showed to the fullest; one can easily watch a video this way! The display offers a resolution of 480x320. The full QWERTY keyboard is easy to use even for me with big fingers, the keys are completely accessible. After one day of sending text messages with this keyboard, youre addicted! The trackball, the same as on other BlackBerry phones, is also available on the Bold 9000 to navigate the device. The trackball works fine, although for scrolling through long lists such as the phonebook, an arrow pad would come in handy.Phone Menu:Shortcuts on the main screen of the BlackBerry Bold just like previous models. Opening the menu, a vast list with 26 icons appears on the screen. While everything is displayed at the same time, on one hand, this is rather inconvenient. On the other, it saves to scroll through the entire menu if youre searching. One will find selecting every icon time and again to remind yourself what it served for. The way in the menu proves to be a steady and solid operating system. The only thing I dont get is why the structure of the menu, neat and sleek, is not carried out in the settings menu, as you will now find a simple boring black text on a white background. This is a pity, since it makes things rather disharmonic.MS Office:The BlackBerry Bold smartphone comprises business functions such as displaying Microsoft Office documents. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be opened and viewed with the BlackBerry applications. The preinstalled versions only allow you to view the documents.

iphone App Development 3G
i am in desperate need of an iphone app for my senior design project. i need to develop an app that will control a winch for off road vehicles. i plan on setting up a wifi network on my car with an embedded PSoC microcontroller. i would like the data that is sent and received from the iphone to the PSoC to be serial. the GUI i was looking for should display the voltage from a sensor on the car, current from a similar sensor, and the strain on the line. the control of the winch will be joystick like, in the sense that if you drag the slider up, it will move forward, while back will make it move backward. the amount that you move the slider should also vary the speed at which the winch moves. when your finger is released from the screen, the slider should return to the neutral position, with no motion from the winch. if the connectivity is interrupted, the fail safe should be that the winch does not move, for safety reasons.this is for a senior design project in Electrical and Computer Engineering technology at Purdue University. the overall deadline that this is due is November 2, 2009, but i would like to have it done before that so that i have time to integrate it and make sure that it is working.i am willing to pay for this app to be done.Thank you,Ryan MBP 15" Core2Duo 2GB ram 120GB HDD Mac OS X (10.5)

Call .tel iphone
HelloDomain names ( like .com ) have been made to make accessing website easier ( than using IP adress ).tel are specific domain name to make phone number easier to remember.Ex: Justin.tel is easier to remember than +447092153123But for now, using .tel on my iphone require 3rd party application..tel is the natural evolution of phone number and it would be great to make .tel call a native feature of the iphone dialer.Does anyone know if Apple is planning to integrate that nice technology ?I would love it so much ^^Regards iphone OS 3.0.1
Dumb phones still work perfect. iphone 3G
Well let me start by telling you I am not a Apple hater, I just hate poor customer service for products that are really still in beta stages of development.1. The iphone is not a good business phone or travel phone its really another computer like you have at home with the Darwin operating system controlling it, this phone drops calls and sometimes just refuse to make the call at all either after reboot and all the other fun things AT&T will have you do to no avail.2. After trying to call a number that required mission critical services from my business I was unable to make a call into the T-mobile Network from the AT&T Network after trying multiple and multiple of times I decided get the operator involved with this call to only be told that they need a city and state with business name in order to make the call, well I am calling another cell phone which means I am **** out of luck. I was told I need to call from a land phone for them to connect me to this business client cell phone, well this just really defeats the purpose of me having a cell phone in the first place that should have no problems calling out of network but apparently it does.LESSON LEARNED -> Do not buy a Apple phone for business, only for a facebook toy or games and mail.If you do alot of travelling, internationl or local try T-mobile or Sprint they provide the best realiable and stable long distance connections. DO NOT TAKE AN AT&T PHONE OUT OF THE COUNTRY MAINLY iphone.I solved my problem that day with a $35 BOOST Mobile phone that allowed me to call anywhere with no problems, this sures say alot about Apple & AT&T technology.IF THIS IS A SMART PHONE, I RATHER HAVE A DUMB ONE. iphone 16gig 3.0 OS iphone OS 3.0

Apple please listen iphone 3G
O2 in the Uk are a dreadful network.Just today their entire data network failed. Across the entire country. And O2 are still being coy. Please see this report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8161938.stmOne user phoned to complain and was told it was congestion issuesCongestion Issues? Now Ive heard it all. O2 agree to take the iphone 3G, O2 dont have a good 3G network in place, O2 are told by Apple (correctly) that the iphone is going to transform the way mobile users access data, O2s iphone 3G sales are hugely bigger than expected at the launch of the 3G, and a year later, O2 blame congestion issues?Blimey, no wonder me and several million others are looking forward to the end of O2s exclusivity.Please, Apple, bring it on.A pleading iphone and Apple fan. iMac Mac OS X (10.5.6) I own an iMac, two MacBooks and an iphone!

iphone 3G and electrical outlet wireless networks
Im going to be borrowing some hardware devices that can be used to set up a wireless network via the existing electrical power lines in a room (power line networking). Im vaguely aware of this technology, but my brother-in-law is familiar with it and has the gear to lend to me.Ill be overseas in Europe and my plan is to set up a wireless environment in the hotel room with this hardware. From there, the intent is to have my 3G iphone connect to this network.Easy? Hard? Something in between? Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.7) iphone 3G, iPod, Nikon D50, Parallels 4.0/WinXP

Blutooth headphones and game sounds iphone
With one day to find this out on my own (with the new OS) I thought Id ask anyway just to keep you guys on your toes <g>.When I play a game with my blutooth headphones I do not get any sound. They do work with the phone, though. Does the technology that sends stereo music via blutooth also send sounds from games (and other apps), or will I always need wired headphones for apps?Thanks! pc
iphone Upgrade Costs
I understand everything about subsidizing costs and new technology and all of that. Yes, new technology will come out frequently so be prepared. It is just a shame customer loyalty gets ditched at times like this because it is largely those of us that take the first risks that get burned. I got the first iphone, dropped it and broke the face 1 week before the 3g introduction so I got the 3g. Now I would like to get an upgrade to the 3 g s and wham, I get slammed.The main difference now is that when my contract expires, the iphone has much more competition than before so.............Apple & AT&T, take note, the free enterprise system is alive and well so you may want to take some well thought out steps!! iMac Mac OS X (10.5.1)
Bought iphone 3G one week ago
Bought my 3G on may 29th. The AT&T store that I bought my iphone from stinks and wont pick up after 6 calls over an hours time. A good friend of mine who has had the 3G since the 1st day it came out told me (a few weeks ago), that the new iphone is coming out, however I can still download the new OS 3.0. I took that for granted and thought, meh, I just want it NOW and surely the new update will be fine. LOL @ ME, the new S model is sick. Like a turbocharged version basically. 200hp motor, or 300 hp motor, for same price...?!Ive been browsing around on here and want to confirm that this is true:If I pre-order the iphone 3G S (should do within the next few days, its hot), then take my originally bought 3G to my AT&T store, they will charge me a $20 restocking fee, and just exchange the phones.If I dont plan on getting the 3G S, and choose to keep my 3G, then I can just go to my store and get $100 store credit (I doubt cash?)Final question (of greater unknowing to me): I just registered my extended protection plan (2 years of warranty) a few days ago. That was $70. Not cheap. Would they transfer that over to my new iphone, or just completely ignore the fact that I spent $70 for an extended warranty? I could picture a big company like Apple trying to milk every dollar out of users.P.S. I FREAKING love the iphone, I mostly love playing games (Sims 3, and NFSUndercover) and it runs great. But the new features of the 3G S (not to mention 16GB rather than 8GB) just makes it a no brainer for anyone who uses their iphone at all. P.S.S, I feel really bad for those out of luck who has gone past their 30 day grace period (or will very soon)... things happen and technology is ALWAYS being updated. Sony VAIO Windows Vista
iphone 3GS youre breaking my heart .
I waited so long to buy my iphone. I thought it might finally be safe to give in and buy, I mean all those app commercials really did a number on me. (kudos to apples marketing team!) I figured that sufficient time had passed since the whole lack of 3g thing and I went on down to my local AT&T store and traded my Motorola Q9h for my first apple product, an iphone 3g. This was may 5th. Then I hear about the new improved iphone 3GS.... I could just scream! I asked the sales rep if anything new was coming too... Man. I know that technology is changing all the time, but I cant help but feel more than slightly ripped off. Sigh. Anyone else out there feel slightly jipped? I wish there was something for the consumers who purchased their equipment just outside of the 30 day exchange period. May 5th! And this better version of what I just shelled out $200 bucks for is coming out next **** week! And theres nothing that anyone at either AT&T or apple can do? I feel like such a chump. I wish I would have waited. Sony Vaio Windows XP
Quick question which sure has already been answer iphone 3G
So unlike a lot of people Im not completely upset with the release of the new iphone, technology changes all the time and there really isnt anything that you can do. That is unless you have extremely deep pockets. Anyway, with the release of the iphone 3.0 software will 3G customers receive the same beneficial upgrades to the camera (IE: will we be able to record video)? Simple question and although quality wouldnt be the same the current hardware should be more then capable of handling this feat.In the event that this is a feature that we dont obtain, then its not the end of the world.

What up with my bluetooth iphone
So I am in my car which has built-in bluetooth connectivity so I can speak into my stereo and hear the other person in my car speakers while using my iphone. But when I dial on the iphone, my car stereo does not connect to it until the other person picks up the phone, so I usually miss the person saying hello and they have to ask again by the time it all connects. My dads blackberry is different however, I tried that and my car connects with that phone right when I dial the number and I can hear the ringing on my car speakers so when the person picks up, I can talk to them immediately. Do these two phones have different bluetooth technology or what?Thanks! Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Battery Tips and Tricks iphone 3G
The iPhones biggest limitation is arguably its battery. So what tips and tricks do you use to get the most out of it. Weve all seen Apples suggestions: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.htmlBut what other ideas are out there to get the most out of your battery? Ill start with a couple:Understand Li-ion technology by reading up on it. Heres a couple of good sites: http://batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li-ionApple correctly points out that heat degrades Li-ions, so keep the batt. cool and out of a case when charging or under heavy use. But interestingly, what they dont mention is that storage at 100% charge degrades Li-ions even faster than heat (see charts at both above sites). So the least amount of time the battery is fully charged, the better. If you typically plug your iphone in every night before you go to bed, then youre likely at full charge for 1/3 to 1/2 of the batteries life. So what I do to reduce this time is hook my charger up to a $10 light timer that only provides juice to the charger between 6am and 8am, just before I leave the house and start using the phone. I still plug in before I go to bed, but the phone spends most of night at partial charge and only gets topped up just before I intend to use it. What other tips/tricks do you guys have?
