  • I just found another thing that I thought would've been obvious that doesn't (seem) to work. I had a friend give me a restaurant number and while he was talking I put the keypad on and inserted the number. When he hung up.. well.. the number …
  • There are quite a few file browsers and 'enhancements' you can download, but I'd like to see these things natively. Also, Apple will HAVE to make it more open if they want be serious players in the mobile market. Nokia sells a MILLION handsets…
  • Good news for me. I already unlocked my iPhone and am using it with Orange here in France but there are still a few glitches. For example I don't get SMS alert when I have a new message in my voicemail. This is annoying as hell since I've alre…
  • yeah, I did know most of these things, but was really surprised by a lot too like no possibility of offline email saving and basically no attachment playback, etc... I'm reporting most of these things to try and compound on the general frustrati…
  • You CAN keep it in Windows (FAT32) format (you have to format it on a PC/Windows) but I find that its EXTREMELY slow when you browse music, etc. Also, when you mount it on a Mac, it takes quite a while (even up to a minute) After a few months …
  • In Europe you can buy a heavily discounted phone with a specific operator and you're locked in with them for X months/years. Once the time is done, you can request a code to insert via your keypad and it unlocks your phone. Voila'. Also, at le…
  • - Ability to take "screenshot" or "save as PDF" for offline viewing (or just cached webpages, whatever) - GPS app Google has one for free for Symbian. It will sync with just about any Bluetooth GPS device and then download the maps via any avail…
  • PS Plus I live in Paris, everyone has a mistress here ;-)
  • in "theory" no I would imagine that every mobile phone follows certain guidelines to make them inter operable. At the very worst, it's a software/firmware blockage. I couldn't see Apple putting a hardware limitation. For instance, what if A…

  • I use FrostWire It's limewire, but a bit better (and no nag screens) www.macupdate.com
  • i stand corrected with the SIM card.. I didnt see that.. and Verizon was just a carrier example (I dont live in USA anymore) The interface is astounding, no doubt... But what about when I receive Word, Excel, or even PDF files? What GPS softwa…
  • and just to get things back on track, being used to Nokias (currently N80 owner), and already having a "Safari browser since last June, with WiFi, etc... I'm not terribly excited with the iPhone. I was really hoping for a Smart Phone like the Sym…
  • if Apple doesn't want to look like a dick with this, then charge a symbolic 5cents or something... YOU ALREADY PAID FOR THE HARDWARE, DON'T BEND OVER for this... as if any other manufacturer would charge. And anyway, this is what Apple gets for …
  • Macs crash... I had issues with USB keys... I have 2 4GB Imation USB keys and they hang 3 Macs I've used them on.. they hang the finder.. then everything stops, and sometimes I get KP. I had a KP the first time I plugged in my Logitech USB headph…
  • Sudoku is NOT a Japanese game
  • the interaction between all these apps, and the whole communication side (GSM, CDMA?, UMTS, GPES, WiFi, etc etc), is quite hellish. Yes, there is Linux OS for handhelds available and they could build on it, but still, the amount of money required is…
