im thinking about this

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...nd-cases/cases/buy/INVISIBLE-SHIELD-IPHONE-3G

for the back, not too worried about the screen as its pretty scratch proof anyway. would kust like to protect the back from scratches but not have a visible case.
trying to source it cheaper tho

I just showed a woman in my office the voice activation... She was sooooo excited she almost wet herself! Now the calls you may expect, but when I cracked out... "Play music" and Black Eyed Peas came on that was it, she practically came!

3GS Video evidence?

I don't think she'd be so excited second, or third , time around.

voice commands are amazing tbf! sometimes when you say "play songs by *artist name*" it doesnt always play the right one, but other than that, it works great!

So, instead of pressing the button to call a person or open your iPod, you press a button and then say the person's name?

Big selling point...

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

lool which actually takes longer

(why isnt it called the iphone HSDPA?)

 

[Tom]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

Because the last one had HSDPA

 

[m4rkie23]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

but isnt HSDPA better than 3G?

 

[young_lew]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

but isnt HSDPA better than 3G?

HSDPA is like 3.5G or 3G+

but i'm sure O2 only does speeds of 1.8 MB/s so its irrelevant that the 3G does upto 7.2 MB/s

 

[Mike_182]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

HSDPA is what old one has. Isn't new one HSUPA?

 

[Tom]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

No its HSDPA

The 3GS has access to 10 HS-DSCH packets

ah right, thats what i was trying to find out. so how come 02 havent allowed 7mb/s then?

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

Has many other people had problems with their 16GB iphone's running slow after installing 3.0?

Mine ran slow before hand but when i open my texts or any other app it takes a good 5 - 7 seconds to open.

Can't say im overly happy TBH.

Think i'll give apple a call and see what they say

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

[sneeks]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

3-4 seconds max to open a text message on my 3G.

Join the white 16/32GB 3GS. You know you want to.

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

hey all

just a quick question so i don't have to trawl through this whole post. If i get a 12 month o2 simplicity simcard with the free unlimited web bolt on, is it fully unlimited internet usage like the iphone contracts or is it limited to 200mb?

thanks in advance

Can someone answer this?

 

[Needster]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

Tom might know for definite. But as far as I'm aware, unlimited means unlimited.

Hmmm...

Need convincing, nude pics of you with only your iphone to cover the bare essentials!

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

Unlimited = fair use.

If o2 think that you're using too much, they'll start giving you grief.

 

[Scutch]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

As I'm new to all this contractual malarky on an iPhone... in a WiFi area I get free internet access. Done. However, if I'm not in a wireless zone and I use my iPhone to access the internet, will I be charged by o2 on my monthly bill? I'm on the 600min/500text tariff.

Cheers guys. A chap at work was querying this with me, too.

 

[Tom]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

No you have a unlimited cellular data plan too.

200mb is a myth

 

[sneeks]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

The original o2 T&C stated 200mb but this was dropped when the original iPhone was released due to bad press. AFAIK they dropped this on all tariffs and not only the iPhone.

 

[Scutch]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

Cheers for the information via MSN, Tom. Much appreciated!

If I could rep you, I would.

 

[m4rkie23]

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6

does unlimited texs mean unlimited. i know the fair usage policy used to apply for phones up to like 3000 a month?

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6
