Doesn't look like XP64 is supported yet :(

I would do what your are Matt if it were not for the fact that I would need the 32gig which is a wooping £500. Might as well wait until next iPhone when hopefully the upgrade will be more drastic.

re: The iPhone thread
 

I want 32GB... but only 'cos it's the biggest.

But I need no more than 16GB.

I've only actually filled about half of my 16GB 3G. Although I still haven't got around to ripping all of my CDs, I'd probably not top 10GBish, so still have room for more music or some videos.

re: The iPhone thread
 

I downloaded the Entire season of Brass Eye, along with my music collection it pretty much wipes out the 16gig :P

re: The iPhone thread
 

Yeah, I bought the 16gb 3Gs thinking it would be enough - stupidest thing I've ever done! Went back today for a 32gb swap over! :-)

Then install 32 bit xp in a VM you have been told this before surely ;)

re: The iPhone thread
 

Yes m8, you did :D

"Find my iPhone" in action...

Well, as expected, I gave in...

I picked up a PAYG 16GB iPhone 3GS from the Apple Store on Friday evening after work.

Got there at about 5:50pm, 10 minutes before closing.

Got served a few minutes before six. The assistant ("A-Train") was very helpful, & I was out of there around 6:10pm.

I had to do a £10 Top Up online on the PAYG SIM & Activate the iPhone in store, even though I said I was planning on simply putting my Pay Monthly SIM in it & not actually using it as a PAYG. Apparently this is standard practice & the same happens if you buy a PAYG one in the O2 store too. He told me though that all I had to do was phone O2, & they could credit it back to my contract bill - I did that on Saturday, & a very helpful O2 iPhone CSR called Patrick sorted that out for me.

Swapped SIMs at home on Friday, hooked the 3GS up to iTunes & then restored the 3G backup to my 3GS & sync'd it. And then my new 3GS was up & running :)

Not had a full play with it yet, but it's definitely a lot faster than the 3G. Even just web-browsing with Safari is noticeably faster.

The compass works well, & the way Google Maps orientates accordingly is good.

I tried the Voice Control, but didn't have much luck. Seemed a bit hit & miss (something I also found when using voice control on my old old XDA Mini S running WM5). It's just a novelty for me though anyway.

Me: "Play Portishead."

iPhone: "Playing The Verve."

Me: "No, PLAY PORTISHEAD."

iPhone: "Call Richard?"

Tried a few other things. Some worked, some were way off...

re: The iPhone thread
 

Ha! Brilliant.

Sounds like you had great luck there, Matt. A 3GS with a good taste in music!
;)

re: The iPhone thread
 

Might not be by design but seemingly the 3GS is waterproof when shooting video. :shocked:

HHHmmm that is just the kind of thing Rammy would do :)

I wonder how long the 3GS kept on working :shrug:
