Apple iPhone 3G

This sounds like the real deal with it.

Particularly this about 3/4 down in the post

"What I was told was that 90% of the disconnects are initiated inside the phone, which would exonerate AT&T. Most of the disconnects are being generated by crashes in the driver code for the 3G chip, which comes from the chip vendor, not something Apple written and outside of Apple's direct control. Complicating this -- even though Apple is handing over "here is the bug, here is the fix, update the driver", the turnaround from the vendor on driver updates is on the order of 2-3 months. Said, um, lack of urgency not exactly making people inside the projects happy."

I've had this phone for about two weeks now, and it's the best phone I've ever owned...and I've had all the "smartest" ones out there.

Battery life is not that bad if you turn off the things you don't need. It's a simple task, and it makes a big difference. As far as crashes go, none to speak of. I honestly think that everyone bad-mouthing it either doesn't even own one, or they've unlocked it and stuffed it with 3rd party, non-supported apps. ...or they may have gotten a bad piece of hardware. The lines wouldn't be as long as they are (3 weeks post launch) if was as bad as some of the posts claim.

I heard the same type of complaints about the Moto Q when I was with Verizon a few years back... I never had an issue with it. ...sam...

OK....I purchased the 3G iphone on 7/12. After having it a week and a half the screen would blank out completley....it does it all the time and takes mashing the power button up to 30 plus minutes for it to cut on.

I took it to apple.....I have "liquid damage" to the bottom port. Now listen....a bout a week ago I put my phone in the cup holder of my car....didn't notice that there was condensation from a drink in there.....so it got into the speaker area....I cut the heater on to try it out...it was fine. Now apple won't do anything.....but I have no reason to lie on this post.....My phone had the mechanical screen issue before the cup holder thing happend. Now....I have 2 days w/ my 30 days to return the phone....If I do this at at&t whe...

Has anyone have a success in getting EAS to work with the iPhone 3G?

IMAP is working but not EAS!

I have enabled Activesync on the user's profile on the server side but nothing works on the iPhone. So I'm having my boss settle with IMAP4.

So I've upgraded my firmware on my original iPhone. Other than the normal buggs like the application freezing, I have been really irritated by what seems like a bug that I have heard nothing about.

When I am listening to music I like to keep it in the iPod when I lock it. This allows me to see the song time, rate it, and choose songs easier (mostly when driving or walking) right from the unlock.

I've noticed now that since the upgrade, the iPhone will randomly go to the home page when I unlock it. I can't seem to find the case where it does it, it just seems to do it randomly. In addition, when you are in the iPod and you select the icon to look at the back of the album, the list always starts from the first song, not showing on scr...

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.

I just purchased an IPhone (still waiting to receive it) but was curious if the IPhone supports most flash/java for the internet. I use quite a few websites that use both, so I'm wondering if the Iphone's web browser is going to support them.

Thanks in advance!

Me and my friend are getting there at five but we are both 16 and adding on to our family plan. He can drive so we are just going by ourselves. Do our parents have to come up and sign something or can we sign it?

Just read on Comcast.net that beginning Sept 7th Best Buy will sell the iPhone!

Honestly, the iphone sucks, regardless of whether or not it is 3G. The phone keeps freezing, and the battery doesnt last very long. If Im having so many problems with the damn phone now, I wonder how many more problems Im going to have in the near future. It is not worth the hassle. I regret not waiting for the Samsung Omnia. I really should have listened to all of my friends who have had the iphone already. They warned me not to get it, and i really regret not taking their advice. I cant even get any tech service for the phone at any AT&T store. They keep redirecting me to Apple. I waited forever to receive the damn phone, and now i have to wait even longer for a replacement that is going to be refurbished. I also found out that t...

Does anyone know of an app you can download to make the phone text in landscape mode as well as portrait mode?

Thanks

Ok, here it is. Computer crashed.. Had to reinstall everything. When I sync the phone to iTunes it doesn't list the songs on my phone on the music list. I really can't get it to sync anymore. It says if I do a manual music sync I will erase everything on my phone and will be replaced by the stuff on my new music list in iTunes which is only the sample crap that downloaded from the windows sample music. Would love some help... Thanks

Is apple coming out with a 32gb version of iphone before the end of year.
If they are , I might well wait for it instead of getting 16gb

I'm looking for a good case for my soon to arrive iphone. has anyone had a case-mate case? Look pretty good and wondering if they're a good quality as they claim. Beside the one I linked to they had others worth checking out. Thoughts?

I ordered my new Black 16G iPhone today and the lady at the AT&T store told me that it could be 10-21 days before i got it, but she let me now that it would probably not be that long of a wait. Should I be expecting the phone to arrive sooner than expected? And is there a difference on the arrival time of the White and Black iPhones and the 8G and 16G ones?

Thanks

My wife and I have had our Iphone 3G's now for almost two weeks. We are now having problems with Safari blacking out and returning to the home screen in the middle of surfing the web. I have also had this happen in other App's both free rom the store and loaded on the phone. is any one else seeing these issues?

Well, the 3G Iphone is getting it's well deserved bombardment of bad reviews. It is amazing how consistant the problems are this time around. People can argue all they want about how great the Iphone is but give it some more time. I had it for 3 days and it drove me crazy!!! Great when working properly but that didn't happen often. The 3G speed is way overhyped and really not that fast(not for an extra ten dollors). The signal is just atrocious!!! The battery is horrible and the build is toyish looking. The OS is very slow. Tell you what, most of you all know this by now so I won't add anymore to this.

Apple diehards, I feel your pain.

hey everyone, im just wondering if any of you think that the 3g coverage will expand by november.

My current VZW contract is up in January. I'm considering the new iPhone 3G, but I do remember a time about 8-10 years ago when I went with AT&T for my cellular coverage. It was awful.

This was back in the days of roaming, and the salesman lied to me that there would be no roaming within a 25-mile radius around my home address. He also told me that AT&T had the entire region saturated with coverage.

Well, I couldn't go one mile in any direction from my house and get any signal (my phone or the wife's). Calls constantly dropped if you were moving.

So, I called to cancel within the 30 day period, and got socked with all these roaming charges. The CS rep told me that most of my area was roaming, because AT&T had no towers in South Jers...

No phone deserves a 0 out of 5. That is just dumb. if you give it a zero you have a no concept of reality.
