Re: what can the IPhone do that android cant?
I have had the iPhone with att since the beginning. Bought the VZW. Got mine on the 7th. So far I have found: Battery life not much better, slightly. Reception, much clearer. Signal strength, about the same (I live in a crappy area and have always had a problem-a couple of dropped calls). Download speed, haven't measured, but 2X faster than att unless you have a really weak signal. I am in Old Bridge NJ and both att & ...
Aluminum Cases
Has anyone tried the 'BLADE' case? Seems to be the only one without a signal problem. I bought the brushed aluminum for the vzw phone. Should work. Figured since they moved the antenna, a better signal. Thinking of getting the black or titanium also. Does anyone know if they are flat or glossy? Emailed then 4 times with no answer. Thanks.
Re: at&t vs. VZW
Thought I read somewhere about VZW updating to let you talk & surf at the same time. Anybody see this?
Re: This is the FCC filing Apple submitted today. it is current for the Verizon CDMA iPhone4
I can't believe that they made changes to the phone, adapting to CDMA, without fixing the signal problem. I know they're greedy but not stupid. Not getting a good rating from Consumer Reports is a 'No-No'. Also, the software is a completely different version that the 4.2.2 that is supposed to be the VZW final version.
Re: ?Weak Signal Strength? 24.0 db from FCC filing. Are you kidding me?
When did the FCC test it? I understand that the antenna has been modified.
iTunes vs Media Store
I have an iPhone with about 500 songs & several movies. Really like the Droid but not at the cost of losing all my music. Is there any way to transfer the songs & movies from an iPhone or iPod to the Droid? Thanks?
Re: 3GS Voice dial w Bluetooth????
PlayboyPenguin: You're right. Fought with some moron at Apple for 45 min over this. He finally confirmed it is not supported & told me to use the corded headset that came with the phone. They don't give a s__t. You can buy a $20 phone with bluetooth voice dialing. I finally told him to shove the phone, was returning it & hung up.
Re: 3GS Voice dial w Bluetooth????
It is supported. They just screwed it up. Press the home button on the iPhone. The prompt comes thru the speakers on the phone but the call will connect to your bluetooth headset. Apple says you can use either button to connect but somehow they got it wrong.
Re: How were the lines in the apple store? (Feedback appreciated)
Don't know about Apple, but I passed 3 ATT stores with only a few people. Myself, I ordered from Apple and came home to a new iPhone.
Re: Flash player support
Believe I read somewhere Adobe still working on it. They are trying to come up with a version cmpatable with most phones.
Turn-By-Turn Directions
Does anyone know of an app with 'audio' turn-by-turn directions? Apple swears they are in the app store. I've never seen one. Thanks.
Mac User
I am a mac user. I thought I read someware that RIM was making updates & applications available for mac over their website, without having to install 'boot camp',etc. Is this correct? Thanks.
Counter Flick or InCase
Any opinions, guys? Which is better? Both are dockable and I believe the same price?
Secure File Storage
Does anyone know of an app that can store video's securely? PicVault will store pics but not sure of video's. I use 'secret folder' to hide files on my mac. Any such thing yet for iPhone? Thanx.
Re: Question from South Jersey
I am in South Jersey most of the day. In and around Olden Ave & Hamilton Ave, no signal. Also Tpke between 7A & 8 are bad. Not the phone because I had a Nokia with the exact reception problems.
Re: Iphone Reviews are spot on
Love Apple, mac person for 15 years, but their phone SUCKS. Constant dropped calls & no signal. I could live with it if Stevie wasn't such an ass***e. His way or no way. That's why it's ATT & not VZW. ATT caved to Apple demands but like VZW, they should have told them to f**k off. $29 phones have A2DP, MMS, Copy/Paste, Voice Dial & Video Record. I am in South Jersey all day & constantly lose calls. My ...
Re: TWO WORDS- AT&T SUCKS!!!
I am in South Jersey all day. I never lost a call or had low siginal with VZW. iPhone & Nokia with ATT. I agree, they SUCK!! GSM sound a lot clearer, but bad coverage.
Re: Voice Dialing
I am using ATT Voice Command. $$.99/mo but it is the most 'accurate' I have ever used, As long long as you keep your last call on *8, you're fine. Just redial. I use it all day long and never have a problem. I'm sure there will be apps available. Don't know if 3rd party apps will be supported by apple or can be used without 'jail breaking'.
Re: i just held it
Who cares about the back. Most people put it into a case anyway.
Re: READ THIS BEFORE POSTING ANOTHER DUMB QUESTION
Don't know what they consider "eligible", but I stopped into ATT today to ask about an early upgrade price. They told me no such thing. I just bought my phone in Feb '08. When they ran my phone number, I was told I "WAS ELEGIBLE" for the upgrade price. Don't know how they arrived at that decision, but for $199, I'll buy it and smile.
App Store
Question: If you don't buy thru the app store and you go somewhere else, what happens to warranty if there is a problem with phone? Will Apple void it? A lot of 3rd party apps are starting to pop up.
Re: Not sure where you are getting your info from......
Screw Apple. It's their loss. I just bought my phone in Feb. Real stupid on my part knowing the 3G was due to come out. This means I can't upgrade at the promo price and I will be dammed if I will pay the full price again. A Lot people are going to be left hanging. I
Re: ATT vs VZW
I also had a Nokia N75 with the same dropped calls and errors in the same areas as my iPhone. Been with VZW for 10 years & rarely a dropped call. As far as VZW billing, never had a problem. As a matter fact, my daughter got an air card on my acct. Plan she took wasn't explained right, and wound up with an $840 bill. I called VZW, explained the problem and they credited me almost the entire ...
Re: Apple vs. RIM
I agree but Apple is advanced. They are also very greedy and want to control everything. I am sure the 3G iPhone will be great but also, from what I've read the the new RIM Thunder (full touch) will be better. It is supposed to have everything the iPhone has plus all the missing goodies. Apple wants a business type phone but as good as the iPhone is, still has a way to go to catch RIM. As far ...
Re: ATT vs VZW
If that's what I wanted to do 'jerk', I wouldn't have left VZW.
ATT vs VZW
I have had an iPhone since Jan '08. Love the phone, however the network SUCKS. I am in New Jersey mostly and I have lost more calls and get more 'errors' that I ever got with VZW. Not the phone because I had the same problem with my Nokia N75. All around the Trenton area (major city) I have this problem. Think its time to jump back to VZW. Waiting to check out new BB Thunder, full touch ...
Re: Old iPhone for backup
Wrong. ATT is looking for a trade-in if you upgrade. You will have to cough up old phone to get new one.
Re: so what does this mean for 2G users.
What do you mean by 'non existent!'? As far as anything else, don't be surprised to see 2 different version of the 2.0 software. The 2G software might not update everything found on the 3G and no GPS.
Re: Missing features list.
Exactly! The BB Thunder will blow it away. Back to VZ.
Re: MMS on iphone - this should work
Yes, but not now.
Re: wack phone!!!
I have owned a mac since '93 and big on Apple. However, I agree with 'sprintahead' entirely. Wait and see, the BB Thunder is the Apple killer, all the missing goodies + full touch. If the iPhone is #1, it won't be by end of year.
Re: Not sure where you are getting your info from......
According to AAT, anyone can buy an iPhone, regardless of when you upgraded. YES, you must sign a contract at time of purchase. However, unlike VZW, rummer has it att might make you 'trade in' your old phone at time of upgrade.
Re: Now...
You can't compare the iPhone & Blackberry. BB is a BUSINESS phone, what Apple is looking to achieve. The iPhone is still geared toward the younger generation & trying to move up. The younger generation is not about to buy a high-end business phone. No use for it. Just look at who has BB & who has iPhone.
Re: Missing features list.
Again guys, Apple does what Apple wants. Like VZW, doesn't care what consumer wants. As f***ed up as the phone is, they will still make millions. Look at all the money they made so far without all the goodies. They want to compete on the business end. The iPod was thrown in to lure the younger generation. However, I do think the new Blackberry Thunder will hurt them greatly. I believe that Blackberry has all these features already, add ...
Re: MMS on iphone - this should work
I read the forums on macworld. I was toild you still cannot SAVE an attachment from your email. True or not so?
Re: voice dial
It has no VOICE DIAL. I use ATT voice dial ($4.99/mo). It works better than anything else, Sammy - LG - Moto - Nokia. I keep my phone, last call, on *8 & hit redial. Works all the time.
Re: Missing features list.
No removable battery & as of right now, no Flash.
Re: Version 1 iPhone
You should know better. Never trust Apple. They lie thru their teeth.
All Lies
Apple does what Apple wants. I watched keynote which stated 'we listened to what the consumer wants'. Total BS. If so, where is MMS, A2DP and voice dialing? They are only looking to compete on the BUSINESS end and screw everybody else. Not asking for the world - just basic features that even a $29 phone has. Blackberry has all this and more. I have always owned a mac & thought Steve was a genius - but he ...
Re: Version 1 iPhone
It says old pricing will remain 'for the present'. I am sure att will find a way to jack it.
