Iphone

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Yep, I have one. They are excellent. I used to use Windows Mobile PDA's and every one I have used is crap. Always slow. The apps are good fun but most of them are pointless!

Skype is good.

The new OS3 is rumoured to be released next month, along with the new iPhone.

could need more Ram and the connection of the iphone really sucks here. The battery needs to be better.

And, the IPhone has so much gadgets, especially because of all the apps you can download, but the camera sucks, no zoom without app (wtf?) and no video function.

Oh, and ITunes sucks really bad. I hate it. Its everything but intuitional.

And i cant get rid of the problems with the sound, it just disappears and suddenly comes back anytime. None of the workarounds helped yet, no older version or reset of the whole phone.

Maybe next time it will be a samsung after all, don't know yet. The positive is the IPhone is/was very cheap by comparison.

Nonetheless its fun and has really much gadgets, but i need a phone who has at least an acceptable reception so i can use it - thats more important to me ;)

If iPhone is anything like OSX I don't want to go even near it. The OSX is so awful... :badmood:

Well lad's mixed thoughts there, i personaly wouldn't be with out it now i have perfect signal every where i go and i use the internet all the time, i also like the face book app, ideal for keeping in touch with my mates for free..

All in all very pleased, however i will agree about the battery mine lasts about a day if i use it all the time, but then i have a car kit to charge it so no probs..

OSX is excellent!

I use it at home. Made the change after the dissapointing Vista was launched. It seemed a bit strange at first as I was so used to using windows, but I wouldn't go back to Microsoft on my own computers now.

Haven't had to re-install since ive had it (couple of years now!) - it's very stable.

I also use Ubuntu as a media server. A bit geeky, but there's much better options than Microsoft out there if you're not afraid of change :lol:

Fundamentally I agree with you but.......

I am using both OSX and Windows XP and sometimes Vista. Windows products are a pain in the arse. OSX isn't demonstrating so many mistakes like Win and isn't setting the thousand of questions about updates, mistakes etc.

My favourite annoying gadget is Advice of the Day in Microsoft Word :lol: :lol: :lol:
