An idiots guide... iPhone 4

[Bluebeard]

So i'm weak and have bowed down to an iphone.

Can someone help me??!

I currently have a blackberry. How do I go about saving my contacts and swapping the sim cards and then set up the phone?

Type clearly and slowly....

Follow that for your BB.

As someone who has to put up with a shitty BB for work, welcome to the brighter side!

 

[Bluebeard]

I have done what kidger told me to do but my bb is telling me it can't connect.

I'm pissed off with it already. Why can't it be like the old days? Menu, save contacts to sim, sim in new phone, off we go.

Anyone want to buy it??

 

[Marky_]

Lol.

I sat in for a night typing them all in

 

[172Ben]

i knew this wouldnt end well

I did the thing Revels posted iirc. Was a while ago right enough. I did it so i'm sure you can.

 

[Bluebeard]

I can't do it. It nearly ended up in the front garden.

I've given up it can go in the cupboard.

 

[Revels]

There must be someone in Brizzle with a double figure IQ? Give it to them. Let them fix it for you.

Take it into whatever networks shop you bought it from tomorrow and ask them to transfer the numbers for you.

 

[DannyR]

If your BB can save to sim then your iPhone will see them.

Oh an welcome to the elite

 

[Marky_]

BB copys to sim one by one.....

 

[Revels]

Depends which BB he has.

iPhone 4 is micro-sim.

I'm far too scared to tell him about cutting it down..

 

[172Ben]

christ, he'll cut it in half

I synced my contacts by outlook on my pc when i first got my iphone moving from my blackberry 9700

Oooh, not a bad idea.

I will probably go with that.

All micro sim should come with the little holder which could be put into the BB.

Even having to do it one by one shouldn't take too long

 

[Bluebeard]

How the fcuk do I put the sim card in an iphone???

 

[172Ben]

THIS IS GOLD!

have you read thinstructions?

 

[AK]

LOL!

 

[172Ben]

there is a little pin in the box, in the envelope.

Poke it into the hole on the right hand side of the phone

 

[Bluebeard]

There's no pin!

AAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cnuty fcuking stupid technology shite fcuk my face you cnut fcuk.

 

[172Ben]

Inside the white card in the box?

Or just use a paperclip

 

[Bluebeard]

Right, my wifes sewing kit has come in handy. Sim card in.

Plug it into computer and turn on itunes?

 

[PMac]

I knew you were old but wtf

 

[172Ben]

Right, my wifes sewing kit has come in handy. Sim card in.

yes

 

[Bluebeard]

God dammit!

Just got going and realised that my wifes phone is connected to my itunes account so I now have deal cloud, groupon and all of her contacts...

How do I sort this now?!

 

[Revels]

Lol. Just plug it in.

When it asks you if you want to back it up from an old iPhone just say it's a new phone and start fresh.

 

[Gally]

Oh this is Gold!

I almost feel sorry for you. I've been there.

 

[Turkish]

Dan, why don't you leave it with someone more capable and let them deal with it. Hand it to the boy, I'm sure he'll have it sussed before you've finished watching my fat brookside gypsy eastenders or whatever other tragic s**t you've no doubt got on TV tonight.

 

[DannyR]

I'm I'm Bristol this weekend if you can wait lol!

I will not (maybe) be defeated. I just watched proud and prejudiced (sp) and i'm now watching nothing so kiss my ginger nuts.

I'm I'm Bristol this weekend if you can wait lol!

I may take you up on that. I can't put up with the abuse from my mates! lol.

 

[Alastair.]

 

[DannyR]

I'll post it all on your FB just so they know don't worry

 

[Bluebeard]

Lol. Just plug it in.

When it asks you if you want to back it up from an old iPhone just say it's a new phone and start fresh.

I've just done that, but its still copying my wifes apps. Is that normal?

 

[DannyR]

Just remove them afterwards

 

[Bluebeard]

ok cool. Now my itunes is doing nothing so i'm asuming thats finished.

The phone is asking me to choose a network??

 

[Adamm.]

Your itunes is probably set up to update the phone so when ever you plug it in all the contacts etc just gets put back on the phone.

 

[MatthewR]

Dan, if the pc your using is a laptop, and your able to get it all to your mates lock up ill have a do at sorting it out for you when i pick the interior up on saturday. I managed to sort the girlfriends out. Eventually.

 

[Bluebeard]

Thanks Matt, people must know i'm thick, i've had offers come flooding in! lol.

Whoever said these phones were simple is/was a fcuking moron.

I have never ever had a phone that is so difficult to set up.

Not impressed so far. Piece of crap.

 

[Turkish]

I'm going to ask Nokia if I can buy the rights to the 3210 then sell them to people like you. x

 

[AK]

I thought the new iPhones running iOS 5 you didn't even have to plug them into iTunes.

If you're still having issues wipe it all and start again.
