tonyh29 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 i find the phone calls pretty quiet when speaking to people and not being able to forward on text messages is a bit of a bind when people send you funnies the camera could do with a video option but as i barely use cameras on phones it's no big deal but for being able to play cowabunga and moosentration it's top notch .. oh and if you go abroad be careful with the data roaming etc otherwise you may get a large shock on your return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 30, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2008 iPhonesavior.com"] "I Am Rich" Buyer Lashes Out At Media For Calling Her An 'Idiot' LOS ANGELES, CA - Debbie Norom, who allegedly purchased the $999.99 "I Am Rich" iPhone app, has every right to be angry after several highly visible websites called the eight individuals who bought Armin Heinrich's highly controversial iPhone application from Apple's popular AppStore, 'idiots'. A post featured on Gizmodo called the now infamous 'Crazy 8', 'morons' and 'dumbasses' who fell for an idea some considered brilliant. Norom insisted she has no regrets purchasing the wildly popular "I Am Rich" application for her iPhone, lambasting the media as "Bastard people" for their vicious name calling. "Bad things always happen to me, sometimes twice a day," said Los Angeles resident Debbie Norom, pictured above next to her Smart Car covered in bird droppings. I love the fact that her name is "moron" spelled backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Ah yes.. the $1000 "application" that put a red glow to your screen, to show people that you could afford to do that so they bow down to you. Yes. She is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Whats good about Iphone? (Ferris) Everything apart from lack of MMS. Music player = 9/10 Call making = 8/10 Wifi = 10/10 (I've got my phone set up on a few, hardly use 3G etc) Applications/Games = 9/10 Keypad = 7.5/10 (Only because it predicts some of my words and changes it to something I don't want it to be!) Camera = 8/10 (unless you really love 5MP cams etc) E-mail etc = 10/10 So many other really good things about it, making this my fave phone ever (yes you can browse VT... ;-) ) recommended apps and games; Ifooty 300 Bowl Lightsaber (sorry!) Adrpool Real Football 09 Facebook And and its great to use to catch up on episodes of TV you have missed, I have just addd Heroes S3E1,2,3 to my playlist!

villab0y Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does the new iPhone still not have MMS??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted September 30, 2008 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2008 Why on earth would anyone want MMS anyway, never understood the fascination. It does what email has been doing better for far longer and is much cheaper and more versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I use MMS quite a lot. There is no reason for the iPhone not to have things like that. Its a lovely bit of kit, but there are some weird things. The Bluetooth is unnecessarily restrictive, the aforementioned MMS, the camera isnt all it could be and like most things Apple, its over priced. Am i right in thinking Flash is still blocked too? Im not saying its a piece of shit, but Apple do do a very good job of convincing everybody that its the only good gadget of its type about when its not.

daft Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does the new iPhone still not have MMS??? Of course not! They need to tout MMS as a new fantastic feature next year when they release the upgraded iPhone. The_Rev is on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 but Apple do do a very good job of convincing everybody that its the only good gadget of its type about when its not.

YLN Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 And that there is a ton of bird shit on her car window? Part of me still thinks that interview is a fake. The interview, IMHO, is definitely a fake. The photoshopped image Her name spells moron an international Mensa member in France. "Even an idiot knows not to install that crappy program even if it's free." Am I stating the obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
