My contract has ended. I am getting verious pay-as-you-go sims to see which network is best and then switching to a Â£15 sim only contract. I might get the upgraded iPhone (when it comes out) but might buy the phone right out.

Can anyone comment on the newer i-phone bluetooth connectivity?

Cheers Thomas,

I'm using a Sony Ericsson A2DH headset (HBH DS2200) and I'd also like to know if a bluetooth hookup is possible using a samsung N10 netbook as one of my current providers is offering unlimited browsing if I take a new 3G phone.

If that's possible I can dump my 3GB per month dongle.

The headset should be fine. As for the use as a modem you'd need to ask the phone providor as I think some of them don't allow that with their iPhone contracts and some do.

I've not used the iPhone as a modem as I have a Â£5 a month virgin dongle deal so I can't comment on how good it is for that sorry.

Many thanks Thomas - a few useful pointers there.

I know with O2 you have to pay an extra Â£15/month on top of your contract to use the tethering (modem via laptop) features and then its not unlimited, its got a fair usage limit on it.

Where is the best pace to get an unlocked iPhone with out a contract?
I've a blackberry with work on vodafone and was thinking about getting an iphone and sticking that SIM in it.

bopdude · 27-01-2010, 10:06

Is there an app, paid for or free that will allow me to block a number, for text, mms and calls ? It's an ongoing battle with Lloyds bank, they used to send me 3 texts a day with account balances, the only thing is, I don't bank with them, I've been into a branch, that was sorted out for all of a day, my old phone Samsung g600 had the feature, an old old phone, wtf doesn't the all singing 3GS have it.

Thanks.

The merry-go-round starts again:-

According to the latest rumors, the iPhone is going to get an OLED screen, a dual core processor, and a removable battery. Video chat, better map capability, and better support for gamers are among other areas that you can expect iPhone 4G to address.We have been hearing about Apple adding an OLED screen to its phone for years now. That hasnâ€™t happened so far. But Appleâ€™s rivals may have forced Appleâ€™s hands into taking action in that area. We do know that Apple is planning to offer a 5 MP camera on the new iPhones. So the phone will be better with video and photos.

My contract is up soon and quite tempted to get one now

jrhnewark · 10-03-2010, 15:21

Please tell me the 4G will do multi-tasking? If it can't, then even I might be sorely tempted to go elsewhere!!

Lord Nikon · 10-03-2010, 15:24

There are several options for jailbroken iphones to improve bluetooth connectivity, for example I have installed A2DP onto an iphone 2g (and no it does not have the option normally)

dilli-theclaw · 11-03-2010, 11:00

My iPhone (3g) no longer opens up or shows the camera roll when I plug it into my windows 7 pc.

Does anyone have any (useful) ideas as to how to get this back before I do a restore?

You can multitask now on jailbroken iphones, I use proswitcher and backgrounder, works a treat.

So I've done a full restore now and it STILL doesn't show up in the 'computer' section so I can't get the pictures off it.

It still syncs just fine so windows is picking it up fine.
