The iPhone thread

[haydnwalker]

That app might have been "virtually" useful the other day when I took my "Americas Army" (game) Advanced Marksmanship test - now if only apple would release a virtual reality iphone

I love Apple, and their new fangled inventions, they're great.

To think... a mobile phone, that has a camera, can play music & games and connect to the internet.

LOL @ cjmarcantionio's comment!

Highly amusing.

Just had my work iPhone 16GB delivered, and iTunes installed on my (work) laptop.

All up an running now, synced with Exchange mail/calendar/contacts, and authorised this laptop - nice and easy.

foreverwar, contract or pay as you go? and what network, tariff and how much you pay for the phone?

also hows the 2mp camera like everybody? I know a phone is not to be used for as a standalone digital camera but still...

Looks like i might just get the 16gb, no point in waiting for 32gb if it does come out lol

As he says its a work phone I am guessing it will be a contract and also he probably didn't need to pay for it himself

The camera isn't great at all. Although as long as there is a decent amount of light pictures can be ok.

right ok...I apoligise...didnt read "work".

Sometimes I think, just get 16gb now, but id hate the fact if 32gb got announced in like two weeks. I mean ideally I would like as many gb as possible, all my music folders add up to around 30gb. Then 16gb isnt actually 16gb is it...its more likely to be around 13gb.

ahhh decisions...I just sold an x1 which i got for free for £350 - fees = £310. so in essence Id be paying £80 pounds more for the iphone...on payg for £390, also im on simplicity £20 at the moment, dont like to be tied in into a contract.

If there was to be a 32GB then it would have been announced at Macworld.

There are a few factors that will prevent the 32Gb getting released anytime soon.

Even though the iPod Touch has a 32GB the iPhone can't at the moment due to only having space for one chip and the Touch has room for 2 chips as it doesn't have all the phone stuff, so it can fit in the two 16GB chips.

Until the single 32GB chips are available at a decent price I don't think there will be a 32Gb iPhone released.

I have to admit, I think I'll go for the 16 gig when I get one. TBH, on my n95, I have an 8 Gig MicroSDHC card which still has 2 gig left, and still has everything I want on it, but I'm gonna have the iPhone for 18 months, so it's as well to have some room for expansion if I should need more storage.

[haydnwalker]

I only have an 8gig and i have everything on it that I need and its still got 6.5gig left free!

[Tezcatlipoca]

I only had a 4GB card in my N95, lol.

On my 16GB iPhone, I've only currently got maybe 5GB of music, although there's a few more CDs I want to rip.

I think most of the rest of the space will get filled with videos.

Plus the iPhone is an iPod, you might find yourself using it as a music player a lot more..

[Tezcatlipoca]

I remember my very first mobile with music playback... a Nokia 5510 with a whopping 64MB of storage, lol

Well people Ive finally made the plunge for the 16gb black version - only paid £80 from o2, should be here by tomorrow, but ive got college, so got to wait until 4 clock lol

however I would like to know if anyone could help me, as I understand it, the iphone comes with 12 months unlimited data and wifi. Currently im on simplicity 10 with 200 mins and texts. What I would like to know is could o2 transfer my simplicity deal along with the old number to the new sim that comes with the iphone and still maintain that 12 month free unlimited data?

if the above isnt possible, then could they just transfer the 12 months free data and wifi to my simplicity sim? is free data and wi-fi associated with the mac address or sim?

I've already got an 80 gig ipod classic.

The only time I tend to use my phone as a music player is when I go out drinking.

I think I should explain that a little. I don't take my ipod as I don't want to risk it being nicked (it tends to live in my jacket pocket). I tend to keep my phone in my trouser pocket, so it is handy if I ever need to call someone (like a cab at the end of the night).
