Just installed the update on my 1st generation iPhone. It's really well done, I'm very impressed. MobileMe push is amazing. There's already some great apps available, can't wait to see what's next! Having great fun with PhoneSaber at the moment - it detects how you wave your iPhone around a room and makes suitable light sabre noises. Yeah. You're jealous.
Anybody getting the new one (if they can)?
Apparently, my dad has been going around the house, "Who wants an iPhone? Who wants an iPhone?" and he's getting 1 or 2 in a month.
iPhones are out in Australia today.
I'll probably receive mine in a week or so... but honestly I don't even want it. The upgrade - I've been using it for the last 24 hours - and it's convinced me that this is the version of the iPhone that it was supposed to have been at version 1.0/release.
I'm not a "mobile warrior", that's why I've never been a fan of the Blackberry. I use wifi for most everything, so I tend to stick to/use connections like that... and I'm saving money by not going iPhone 3G per month.
But I'll be honest... I'm still not 100% sold on the iPhone. It's a good media phone. I got a couple of games, I've twittered from it, and even used Pownce - the newer apps, that is. But no copy/paste, no video record, it still handles MMS horribly, and it's still not a "complete" phone imho.
I'm getting it. :) My current phone is about to explode.
who cares? it's just another iphone with crappy internet hype for all of us geektoids. Anyone who buys one is just a bandwagon f**. Why aren't there threads for phones that work better and are more practical than another generation of a POS.
F it, man. F it.
:(
Plans for the iPhone are crap in Australia
It doesn't look like this week has been as smooth as Apple wanted. First the MobileMe servers go down for a day, then NVidia announces that the video card that's in the MacBooks have a problem and now the iPhone activation servers are down. Not only that about half of the iPhone 1 users who have upgraded have had major problems with the new firmware. I love reading Engadget and Gizmodo and seeing all of these problems yet they still have nothing but good things to say about the products.
You are predictable.
apple is infallible
Nobody ever said that... well, nobody with more brain cells than fanboyism allows.Quote:

He could leave a flaming bag of sh*t on the doorstep of all early adopters and they'd still bend down to smell his stench.Quote:

And what's wrong with that?
a lot. it slows things down.
Fair enough, any hacked OSes out there? That's pretty much what I plan on doing anyway, when ever I get around to getting a new phone.
Once again I'm avoiding this bandwagon. I am switching to sprint however for the all in 1 plan. Should I get a sprint phone or is there something cooler that I can unlock? Wi-Fi is a must.
Sprint's not GSM, they're CDMA. So being unlocked isn't a concern.
And Vista is a shining beacon of hope and joy.Quote:

Apparently Nvidia isn't doing too hot all the way around.Quote:
Nvidia was responsible for almost 30 percent of all recorded Windows Vista crashes in an unspecified period in 2007.
