An iPhone Thread
 

*note* Users of other (inferior) phones who only viewed this thread to have a pop, in order to somehow make up for the inadequacy they feel with regard their mobile phone, naff off, we don't care. :lol:

Right. This is a list of the apps on my iPhone. If you have some cool apps please install the software linked on that page and share. Particularly interested in hearing which games people rate. :thumbup:

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Like the look of that Event Horizon, though I have Things on both iPhone and Mac and love the way they sync up my to do list.

Have you tried uStream?

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I have gmail, ebay, fb and youtube on my phone - along with lots of other things that I don't know how to use :o but it's not an iphone, it's a Nokia Eseries (whatever that means :D)

So is my phone inferior then? I wouldn't know the difference anyway hehe

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

My daughter has an iPod touch but not the iphone, it uses apps, but it's too advanced for me. I don't understand any of it.

She reckons her Xenon phone and ipod touch beats the iphone hands down.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yeah, UStream works very well indeed.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I'm so glad you started this thread, I'm thinking of getting one.

I want to know if anyone has them with Optus, can you send and recieve mms to the UK (as I can't now on my inferior phone).

I have some bets on with ladbrokes, if Petter Northug wins the Tour De Ski I can get an iPhone!

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I would love an iPhone :( I'm gonna have a quick look through your applications to see if there is anything I could use to justify having one as a student.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

uuuuhhh Facebook!

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

ok, just watched the 14min guided tour for the 3gs..wow, it's pretty funky, lots of very kool stuff. Just have to hope I get some winnings.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

We share so many apps it's not funny :)
I just have a few extra games and iSpeedy

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I dont know of any provider who does mms to UK and back - I asked around at one stage and no one did. Vodafone said they did but then said they didnt so I dont know if they do or not.

I'm still an iphone newbie and dont have too many applications on it but I do use Epocrates, Solitaire City (only one I have paid for - love Casket!!!), Cribbage lite, Qantas, St George mobile banking, bubble wrap (sad!) isolve lite (not that impressed) zoom photo, London traffic cams, tap sudoko (like that one), PWAU lite (like that one better than standard weather as well).

I havent quite worked out yet how Docs to Go would synch - what happens with that? How do I synch it with my PC? Also on the look out for a good database which synchs with Access somehow (how would that work?).

I dont use a Mac for most of my work but I would like to synch my to do list from Outlook - is there a way of doing that?

What annoys me is that my dad can send to me from o2, ok I have to go online to see it, but at least it's something. But can't send anything from this end...

All BBC and ITV channels (and channel 5 but no ones ever that desperate)

Would love to know if this works down under, needs 3g but very good quality streaming. My account allows unlimited internet access so its free of charge.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Last time I tried Urbanspoon there wasn't a lot of Australian content on it. Has it improved much?

Doesn't work on 3G or Wi-Fi. iPhone has built in VPN support though and would probably work okay with that.

You just need to install the desktop Documents to Go application and then run it at the same time as the Documents to Go app is running on the iPhone. Then just drag and drop and hit the Sync button.

Fairly simple free way here.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Thanks for those. I use DtoG all the time on my Palm so it sounds pretty much the same. I was anxious that it would involve clouds in some way like the Palm Pre has ended up doing.

Will check out toodledo as well. I was surprised that iphone didnt come loaded with a task manager

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Has anyonegot a SAT NAV app on your Iphone and, if so, is it any good?

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Excellant:thumbup:

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Boy are you in for a shock if/when you get to Australia !!

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yep and it works well, but you need a car charger becuase it runs down the battery.
And depending on the car you have to mount the phone on the dash to get a strong signal.

They just did an upgrade and it now goes online to download speed camera info :)

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Cool, what sat nav software do you use? Is it Tom Tom?

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I've got Sygic on mine. It was on discount one week for $59AUD so I ponied up. I think it's a great app, but it gets lousy reviews on many sites. Mind you, those are all prior to a recent massive update that added traffic updates, speed cameras and all sorts of cool downloadable goodies. I have a TomTom Go 720 in the car as well and I prefer the Sygic to the TomTom which takes a frigging eternity to lock on (five minutes start up time at best with clear skies). I had the TomTom mobile maps on my old Windows Smartphone and I thought that sucked too. I think TomTom products are the most over-rated and over-priced in the GPS market.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

lol - was thinking the same. Those ****ing terrorists Telstra give me a miserable 150Mb a month. 150Mb!!!!!! Wankers.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I get a 1GB quota with Virgin (Optus) and about $560 of phone credit for $79 per month.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yea, I can get 5Gb for a fairly reasonable fee on Optus down here, but there's sweet F.A. reception round these parts. If you want a 3G connection of any sort in the regions, it's basically Telstra or nothing.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Ive just got iphone with virgin and can not seam to text to the UK.
However used to be able to text to vodafone from a telstra cheapo phone!

Ive only just got my iphone so not really got any decent apps yet.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I dont have any trouble with that - maybe there was something that needed to be enabled? It would be worth giving them a call because you should be able to do it without any problems.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Thanks will give them a call. Thought it was odd.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Actually, I have a tom tom but wanted to try something on my Phone just for the convenience. What I like about the tom tom is the way it suggests points of interest at you current location or your destination. Very handy. Dont know if others do that. But like yours, it takes ages to find a signal at first. I may need a new iphone car holder as the one I have sits down by the gear stick.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yea, I get the P.O.I.s. exactly like the TomTom, near position, near address, near destination, in city etc. Search on address or post code, etc. I have a Belkin TuneBase for the phone, which is one of the few designed specifically to work with the 3GS. works fine.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Would you mind telling me the resonable fee? What are the costs if you go over?

Do you mean text or MMS? If you can't even text that's ridiculous

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

I can text in Australia, but not to UK mobiles.
But daft thing is I can have a telephone call to the same UK mobile numbers!

Rang virgin and they say I should be able to text the UK mobiles if I can ring them and have a normal call.
They have passed my query on to the engineers.

Ive looked on my phone but cant see anything that is stopping the overseas texting.

Gems

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

hmm, I'd be screaming over that. I know phone providers have deals with certain phone providers and not others in some countries. The 3 network is a ball ache to text from overseas usually.

Virgin being in both countries you'd think you be no problem?

Take it back!

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Probably OT but have you checked that you have the numbers inputted properly? +44 (drop the zero) etc? Worth checking, every now and again I find that I have not put the international code in.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yes, right code as I rang the number and can get through to them.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

It certainly has loads of content for Melbourne, has done for ages. Haven't tried it for anywhere else.

Re: An iPhone Thread
 

Yes, but you need the + not 00 to text.
