IF they are still on your phone you can just do "Sync purchased items from phone" and they will transfer from your phone to your PC.6/17/2009 10:35:02 AM |

Actually where's a good place standing dock that doesn't charge assrape Apple prices? I was looking at buying extra cables to charge the iPhone on the Apple site and they wanted $19 a piece.
Meanwhile, Monoprice wanted a mere $1.536/17/2009 10:39:36 AM |

the dock i bought for my 3G was $29 but i bought that when the 3G first came out and sadly it sits in the corner of my desk at work because I hate having to remove my case everytime I want to charge my phone. 6/17/2009 10:41:05 AM |

^^ and ^^^ I use cases after I bought my 3rd iPhone 3G (4th iPhone total since Gen1) due to smashed screens and butter fingers. Although one of those times it fell out of my jacket pocket as I Was running across the street dodging traffic.
but the case was $3. haha Its an Elago case. http://www.elagodesign.com

Quote : | "You can refresh all you want but that won't make the 3.0 update for your iPhone appear any faster. In fact, you might want to give your trigger finger a rest for a few hours -- Engadget bud, Richard Lai, noted in a tweet that Apple's Singapore site says that the iPhone OS 3.0 update will release on the 18th while Apple India says the 17th, the date announced by Apple -- the difference presumably accounting for the 2.5-hour timezone offset between the two countries. That would peg an OS 3.0 release anytime between 1700 and 1930 in London or between noon and 2:30pm in New York. But don't let a little knowledge ruin your obsessive behavior, where's the fun in that?
Update: The theory is supported by reports that carrier 3 in Hong Kong sent a network-wide SMS notifying iPhone owners that OS 3.0 will be available on June 18th, 01:00 local time. That's 1pm on the 17th in New York, 6pm in London, and 1900 in central Europe." |

HUGE news if you're a 3G owner wanting to upgrade:
"AT&T customer that isn't eligible for a phone upgrade yet, but will be eligible in July, August or September, good news. You're eligible starting Friday, June 19.
AT&T's just loosened the restrictions in order to allow people to who are on the verge of being able to upgrade to do so now. If you're like most people who upgraded to the 3G last year at launch, you'll have to check your eligibility online to see if you qualify. If it doesn't fall within those three months, you'll have to wait the full term."

Personally, I wish they would just spend their time implementing MMS and 7.2 rollout instead of catering to all the internet crybabies... 6/17/2009 2:04:09 PM |

i know there was a dev preview of AIM, but it's not listed as an app needing an update

I don't understand how their 2 year contract works. I bought my phone at launch and signed a new two year agreement yet some how I'm up for an upgrade Dec. 30th, 2009? Does not compute.
^some apps* for some reason don't recognize that they need an update but if you just redownload it it will be a newer version. Although AIM 3.0 isn't even out yet that i know of...but this was an issue with IM+ and even their push service doens't work...it sends you an email and not a iPhone alert.

My understanding is:
If you spend $100 or more on a single line per month you can upgrade after a year.
If you spend less than $100 on a single line you need to wait 18 months for an upgrade. 6/17/2009 2:39:03 PM |

mine is $100 bucks I believe. I don't see how it could be less with an iPhone. Then again I might just be under and be over after tax. 6/17/2009 2:40:00 PM |

I have unlimited texts too. 450 minutes + the 3g data plan. What does that come out to?

this new voice memo app would be AWESOME if there were an option to send as MMS
well maybe not awesome but real time voice chat would be cool. and yes i know it's already a phone why not just call them but just like with sms or im, it's nice to be able to carry on a conversation a little at a time. and this way, you don't have to take forever to type up a sms, you can just speak it. or even better, have it transcribe your speech into a sms

also, it would be neat if the spotlight feature started out with the most recently (or most often) used apps, contacts or whatever. or if you could pin certain things to the initial spotlight list 6/17/2009 2:49:22 PM |

that would be cool. There is a big difference in time management between having to sit on the phone for an hour and have a conversation vs. responding when you have time. So I can see the voice memo's via mms being useful. Which technically apple has done this but thanks to AT&T WE can't do it. I really hope Apple gets other providers in the US because AT&T is doing nothing but dropping the ball.6/17/2009 2:51:21 PM |
LunaK LOSER :( 23634 Posts user info edit post |
at&t probably assumed that apple with stick with them indefinitely - therefore if they dropped the ball a few times here and there, it wouldn't be a big deal.
let's hope that doesn't hold true much longer. 6/17/2009 2:53:30 PM |
