Any of you Mac Jews have one of these yet? Work forces me to have virtual access to almost everything on my PC on the road, in my car, wherever the fuck. I used to have the Microsoft DASH (T-Mobile) and though it was the best at the time, it has LOADS of problems and I couldn't take it anymore.

So, I finally had to break down and get one of these fuckin' iPhones. I need to know (a) if anyone here has one, and (b) if so, can anyone tell me if there's a way to download auxiliary software/games/utilities for it off the internards (or Easynews). I don't know SHIT about it, and the instruction manual looks like a Bazooka Joe comic strip--about the same fucking size and equally as informative. And, even though I don't know how to do SHIT with it yet, ...it's PRETTY FUGGIN' SCHWEET. (God knows it slays me to have to have bought a goddamn Apple ANYTHING, though!)

If ain't none a you guys has one, don't bother... I'LL put my own cricket jar in here in due time. (But, I can use all the first-hand experience/advice I can get right now.)

I know you can hack them and download homemade apps for it.

I did it with an ipod touch and it works a treat.

However i've heard that carriers are releasing updates that brick hacked iphones.

Heres the guide i used.

One of my friends got one last week and I played around on it for about 5 minutes. I dunno what the method is to enter text, but it seems like it would be better served with a stylus than fingers. I was using a Mac at my last job, but was runnin' Windows on it. Any time I had to use the Mac features, it was like an alien world to me. It just seems like it'd be a LOT tougher to get used to on a mobile platform.

BTI, a software development kit for the iPhone was (or will soon be) released to developers. The third-party apps will be coming soon, I'm sure.

Thanks, guys. Hey, Howie, next time we're on XBL, I have some serious questions about that link you posted (if ya don't mind).

Heaps, you couldn't be MORE right about the keypad. Here's the problem: When you're on the internet, you can tilt the phone horizontally and get a wider keyboard--no problems there. BUT, when using it vertically (e.g. text paging), it's a motherfucker if you don't have dainty little fag fingers. I tried using the pen from my DS and it wouldn't work AT ALL. That is, there's some fucked-up thermal-sensitive techmology that only allows a human finger to activate the keys. What the FUCK is THAT all about. If a little DS-type pen was developed, they'd sell like crazy (and I'd be the first to buy one. As it is now, I've had to switch from using my thumb to using my index finger to type messages.

However, I loaded a bunch of photos into this slut, and the Minority Report zooming and panning and flinging from pic to pic is just beyond belief. Also, fucking FLASH VIDEOS ON A CELL PHONE?!! Oh, I'm diggin' it da mos'. It's gonna take forever for me to hand-enter all my contacts, but fuck it--it'll be worth the effort. These things kick ass.

BTI, Apple has some serious tech support, so phone them ASAP while it's still under warranty. Ask them for an easier way to move your contacts from your pc or other phone. I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to export your old contacts to a comma delimited list (a text file with data and oodles of commas for some reason), and send that to the iphone and import that data there.

Verno
02-10-2008, 07:45 PM
Once upon a time you could sync your outlook contacts with your Ipod. Perhaps you could do the same with the phone? EDIT: Bingo. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845) Sync your contacts with your Dash using ActiveSync, then sync them with the Iphone.

I was very close to getting the iPhone, but the lack of actual buttons to push swayed my purchase. I decided on the Blackjack II, and it hasn't disappointed at all. Excel, Word, PDFs, internet sharing with my laptop (via hack), music, YouTube; it fits all of my needs. So if you change your mind for whatever reason, I highly suggest the Coonjack II.

I'm diggin' this fuckin' thing a lot. I'm actually happier now to add all my contacts in from scratch, because (a) if you've ever been in the IT business, Outlook is one of the most volatile/vulnerable apps made (I never used it), and (b) I never had anyone's email addresses in my old phone because I had no reason for it then. I do now, so I'm going to go as far as to even put Photochopped pics of every asshole I know in their contact profile (along w/their email addresses).

I was hoping to all hell that Verizon would've come out with a WiFi capable phone this year...if for no other reason that pure indulge-ment. I just re-upped my original Verizon contract from '02 and settled for a Samsung Gleam based on its size. I can only assume that WiFi will be the next "camera phone" craze and hopefully by the time it's time to renew again, there'll be something similar to the iPhone with it's Internet capabilities.

Picked one up a couple of days ago. Soooooo friggin' sweet. Every interaction you have with it feels all Star Trekky. In fact, I'm posting here with it right now.

Open multiple browser windows, turn it sideways to watch a movie on a decent sized screen, built in iPod, chat like messaging interface; the list is endless. I'ma try and "jailbreak" this guy tonight and see if I can add some of this sweet third party software that's out there.

And to think, two years ago if your cell took pictures it was high tech. Apple's gonna leave everyone in the dust if the other manufacturers don't step up.

New iPhone Friday. App store launches tomorrow, but I don't know if existing iPhones will be able to do a software update then. If you don't have one already, this new one will be a great one to start out with. Only $200, and it has faster web than the old one and also has a GPS. In fact, I'm posting this with my iPhone.

Anyone gonna splurge for the iPhone 3g?

^^I'm doing that tomorrow with the one *I* bought---no kind of rebate or thrown-bone to all those who got fucked on the old ones, knowing full well they were gonna release THIS whore right around the corner. I got mine after the first price drop, and the internet speed is fine (especially, obviously, when you're near a wifi--blazing).

If they give us the 2.0 software (which I see NO reason it SHOULDN'T be available to us at the same time), I'll be fine. Got a GPS in my car and I don't hike in the wilderness, so I'm good w/out that feature.

Now, if they'd just drop the price of their fucking schweet MONITORS NOW!! (I could buy a goddamn 52" Bravia for the price of one of those whores---sheesh!)

Today is simply further confirmation. Deliberate intellectual dishonesty is rampant.

Ralphie with an iPhone shoved in his puss, to me, is an ironic parody of the large group of stupid fukin' bastards screaming about "the worst economy since The Great Depression" who then stand in line for the newest $600+ cellphone, and then convince themselves another dumbass is going to guarantee them cheaper gasoline and cheaper mortgages so they can buy the "newest" one 2 months later.

Well, don't answer that, 'cause if you WERE Ed (if he were alive), then you'd opt for the former.

THEY *ALL* SUCK, Titties. I waited and waited, too--and with the new functionality of this bitch, plus the ENDLESS applications you can add via the App Store icon, you're gonna NEVER have it out of your mitts. TRUST me!

I seen a fat guy with fingers like bratwursts in the Apple Store complainin' to some dumb rummy that his shit was broken.

Naw, man. I got mine same time as Verno did. I wouldn't have bothered if her cell didn't take a shit. No sense in making her get another shitty cell. I had a $150 gift card to the Jew Store, and they let me cash it out soes I could score it at the AT&T store (where the dumb cunt proceeded to fuck up our ENTIRE program).


I didn't go for no 16GB neither; I never put tunes or vids on my phone. I'd say it's not worth it unless you get the basic 8GB.

*I'd entertained the idea earlier, till I read in a Mac magazine that you get way more fucked if you go in for the 3G. I guess they've changed their service options and plans now, so you don't get as hammered. Which Jew Phone did YOU get, Tits, and post more, hooker.

I bought mine at the Jew Store. I figured if anyone was gonna fuck it up it might as well come from the source. Lo and behold I was not wrong. 3 hours later I FINALLY came out with a working phone.

I didn't get the 16GB either. The battery life on this thing is too shitty to use as an ipod so what's the point in spending the extra scratch?

if anyone is interested, there was a release of iphone bluetooth yesterday.
it's an interesting project and seems to work well. i only tried it for a few minutes but was able to pair it with my mac without any problems whatsoever.

they are planning on pushing out an itunes sync over bluetooth and also gps support, but i cant imagine it would be very useful considering the speed of bt and the size of an itunes sync.

http://www.spaziocellulare.com/ispazio/en/2009/03/11/ibluetooth-is-finally-here-ispazio-exclusive/

there is another bluetooth project coming out too. but apple claims the real deal is coming in iphone 3.0 later this year (likely july)

True? Untrue?

Spooner
10-24-2009, 01:12 AM
Okay, good question. I had the same concerns, and even worse.

Back in L.A., AT&T had notoriously bad coverage and horrible CS. Well, years later, AT&T made an overhaul, and it was when they bought out all of Cingular's towers that their coverage was finally that of TWO providers.

I looked at a coverage map of the US, then state-by-state, mainly in the states I find myself a lot (NY, Ohio, Cali, Michigan, etc.). So, the coverage was so fucking dense, I had to go with it. Now, when I'm in L.A., I can even pull a signal in my folks' pad, which is in the Hollywood mountains where you can't even get an infrared remote to work.

I would look at an LA County-specific coverage map -- look closely, then pull the trigger and get the goddamn gadget ... on accounna it rules ass.

I got the Kindle app for the iPhone, which is free, & downloaded a couple of free samples of books from Amazon.

I was fully expecting to find it hard work, reading a book on the iPhone, but I got through the opening chapter of Peter Hook's book about the Hacienda in double quick time, laying on the sofa nursing a Christmas hangover. So I bought the rest of the book. I finished it in a couple of days.

It's revolutionised reading for me. What with all the other gadgetry we've all got these days, reading had been relegated to when I was sitting on the lav. Now I can read whilst rollerblading, boogie boarding & ice road trucking.

Booze, those pricks ain't givin' you no upgrades out there as an existing customer in good standing? Or have they found out all your audiobooks've come from Easynews.

Honestly, the screen is so crisp it may be the only advantage that's necessary to get my recommendation, but there are a few nice addons that are always overlooked.

1. A little quicker than the 3GS. The jump isn't as great as the leap the 3GS made, but it's still noticeable. For instance, the accelerometer is almost instantaneous. When I go to landscape, it hardly hesitates.

2. HD Video. This phone will put a hurting on Flip's stock. It's every bit as good as a Flip camera.

3. Better 3G speeds. I ran a test the other day on my 3GS at home and I was getting 3 Mbps down and 200 Kbps up. Big discrepancy. With the 4, my down speeds were the same but my uplink was around 700 Kbps. 3G browsing is significantly faster.

4. Build quality. It makes the 3GS look like a Fisher Price steamboat.

5. The battery life is about 20 % better.

And of course, the software update to iOS 4 is available to the 4 and the 3GS. Backgrounding, folders for apps, better Google search in safari, etc.

So far I've been very happy. I can finally watch HD porn on my iPhone. Truckstop Handjobs 6 looks stunning on it!

iPhone 4 signal: Apple confesses to 'simple and surprising' software slipup

Every iPhone ever made uses a 'totally wrong' formula to show signal strength, says Apple, after antenna complaints


http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/jul/02/iphone-4-signal-apple

Apple has confessed that it has discovered that every iPhone uses the wrong formula to calculate how strong a signal it is receiving – meaning that it seems to show good reception when the signal is weak. It has promised a software fix for the problem "within a few weeks" which will match that used in other phones.

The explanation, in which the company says it used "totally wrong" calculations to work out the strength of the signal, seems to explain why some people have complained to the company that they see a dramatic dropoff in the signal strength displayed when they hold the iPhone 4 in a particular way. Within hours of the phone being delivered to customers last month, dozens had posted videos on YouTube showing that the number of "bars" indicating reception strength fell abruptly when they picked the phone up from a desk.

Apple says in a press release on its site that it was "surprised" after the launch of the phone to read reports of reception problems, especially those who reported that the signal strength dropped completely – from five "bars" (the strongest reception) to none when held in a way that covers the antenna on the bottom of the phone.

But after getting "hundreds of emails from users" and seeing articles about the problem, it took the phones back to its laboratories – and discovered, it says, that it has been measuring signal strength wrongly since the very first iPhone, in a development it calls "simple and surprising".

The company explains: "Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays two more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display four bars when we should be displaying as few as two bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying four or five bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place."

Hey Spooner, it looks like you might get that Dunham case for free now. (http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20100715/US.TEC.Apple.iPhone/)

Jesus! They better get their shit together over there at Apple or people are gonna start getting them confused with Microsoft. btw, My 4G HTC Evo, or as I refer to it, "The Emo" is working just fine. I get better reception than ever before and it has everything the iPhone 4 has*. Oh yeah!

I watched the press conference...I sort of got the impression Stevie boy was saying "look, we're pretty sure your concerns are unfounded...but because ConsumerReports is making us look like assholes...we hereby grudgingly give you this new case. Even though this is all in your imagination."

I don't think my paraphrasing is too far off the mark. Since he's sure this is some sort of media conspiracy/ mass consumer hallucination, I wonder if Steve is more sympathetic to the mass hatred of Vista. I mean, since MS spent all that money telling us Vista was actually bitchin' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Experiment#Reception), and we simply didn't understand things the way they did, maybe Apple and Microsoft share more similarities than we think....

*Finally* fucking picked up an iPhone 4. Verno, goofin' you weren't. This bad whore is unbelievable, and after owning all prior versions of this thing before, I really couldn't imagine THAT much improvement. Both Mac World & Mac Life broke down the specs, and this thing is, for openers, the most lightning-fast handheld device period. Then there's the graphics. Literally 4 times the resolution of the 3g, which I couldn't believe till I sawr it for myself.

Fucker shoots HD video, and has an onboard 5 megapixel camera. BUT, though there was software to bring the 3gs camera up to 7MP, it took forever to save and process, so you'd never get your shot. This fucker lets you click away like them old Nikon commercials with Bjorn Borg in 'em. Beautiful. And it also has a built-in video chat (iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 via WiFi) as a regular function. Fuckin' incredible.

Then, watching a baseball game live in HD on this sumbitch ... that tore it. "If you can find the means, I highly recommend it ... it's so choice."

Oh, and this whole "scandal" about no reception w/out a case? Horseshit. Maybe if you live on Maker's prairie, but even then, only maybe. What a joke.

Best fucking app out there. You can connect to ALL your selected media on your own computer from anywhere ... on either the 3g network or any wifi. Totally secure, it's a client/server app, and the app's only three fish. Server side app is free. Easy to set up, and I tested it out. Just give it a password, lock in your IP address, and you're goin' mobile with your media. Fuckin' loooooooooooovin' it.

Here's a customer service story for ya ...

Scored my iPhone 4 on the 5th. They're worse than them Cabbage Patch dolls back in the '80's ... good luck finding 'em (I had to try three Apple stores to get mine, and even then they had like three in stock).

They don't even STOCK cases for these yet in these fuckin' stores, and ain't no 3G case workin', neither -- and I tried to make a case out of a George Foreman grill, but that didn't work out too good. So, the choadmonkey goes, "Duuuuude, they're made of STEEL, man ... the glass is the same shit they use on Apache helicopters & shit ... that thing ain't breakin'. You're golden, Jerry!"

So, lo & behold, it's in my shirt pocket last night, my foot catches a crack, broke my mama's back, and my new phone swan dives outta my shirt about maybe three/four feet and lands on the sidewalk in the dark. I can see the street light reflection and it ain't good -- the entire "unbreakable" rear glass is shadoobie ... shattered. My phone be splattered, splattered all OVER ... Seattle.

On a longshot, I bring the fucker to the Jew Store today, and a guy with an earring in his schnoz says, "No problem, man ... I'll hook you up as a one-time courtesy ... give you a brand new phone right now." I didn't buy no protection plan, and no warranty other than that protects you from doing a Chevy Chase/Gerald Ford with your phone in your shirt pocket.

No fuckin' wonder Apple took over shitty-ass Microsoft. I was half expecting the brunette whore what carries the iPad to offer me a one-time courtesy blowjob for my troubles ... that's how good their CS is. Hoooooooooo fah.
