Maybe your requirements for a Ferrari are lower than other Ferrari owners.
Yeah, I guess no 3G kind of makes it more like a Fiat.

I suppose that's right. My new Sprint Mogul offers EVDO which you might think is fast but the memory issues i'm experiencing can slow the phone down to a crawl.
Maybe faster isn't always better.
It's not experiencing memory issues because of EVDO. And faster is always better when it comes to bandwidth. What genius decided to use the slowest technology to make the device '5 years ahead' of any other phone?
ollie,
How are you having memoory mgmt problems. I have a pidly Treo 700wx and have lots of stuff installed and a huge number of contacts, calendar and to-dos. I rarely have any memory issues.
edge is slow compared to evdo, and when rev a. becomes common on devices over the next year, it will be not even funny.
Wi-fi is great...it you are at a hotspot.
But generally speaking, most people are mobile (outside of home or work,no wifi) 95% of the time. And evdo would be the choice (over edge) every day and twice on Sundays.
As for stability, WM5 is pretty stable.
But I think you have mentioned resolution, which I agree with. 240x2 can be rough. I miss the 320x320 of the 700p, but I take lower resolution for increased stabilty and robustness.
I'm waiting for a 640x640 screen...that would be nice.

iphone's "make's no sense" thread....
just to start off....
I can delete a pic from my camara roll but i cant from my albums??? makes no sense.
I can delete a movie, but not a song??? makes no sense.
I can type in landscape mode on safari, but no where else?? makes no sense.
Playing a song is loud...but eveything else isn't?? makes no sense.
I can delete any sms message i want ..but i cant delete any call that i want?? makes no sense.
My pre-installed wallpaper looks super sharp and clear..but my cutomed ones dont??? (and yes i did re-size them correctly).....makes no sense.
these are just a few my friends..... if you have any, please post..:tounge:

I thought the landscape typing thing was wierd, espcially since I have developed a two handed typing method with my thumbs online.
Not being able to delete pics from the user created folders is a little strange but understandable but still they are pictures that you placed on your phone.
The video thing is stated as being a space saver and thats why you can delete movies but then why wouldnt they do it for music

youtube doesn't work from web links?
So I'm on digg, and I click on a link that automatically launches the youtube player... But it hasn't worked once. Says it can't play it.
Anybody else?

If it is linking to regular YouTube it will not work. The YouTube on the phone was converted by Apple to h.264. YouTube the actual site uses Flash which is not supported on the iPhone
theantidote 08-04-2007 04:47

They only encode a fraction of their videos in H.264 so many of the newer ones you'll see on Digg haven't been encoded yet and therefore are not in the Youtube App's library.

If you haven't encoded anything to h.264 yet, try. You'll see that it takes significantly longer than anything else. With the library youtube has, we'll be lucky to see a 100% conversion anytime this year.

yeah i meant when you click on a youtube link on a site somewhere... the iPhone automatically is supposed to play that video in built-in youtube player - but it hasn't worked, not even once.
kinda bums me out. meh.

Will Apple replace my iPhone?
I've been trying for 3 days to place a reservation for the Genius Bar [keeps telling me everything's booked???]
I was wondering if Apple would replace my iPhone for these problems...
1. Polka dots
2. Backlight leakage into stripes above the screen & the speaker
3. Edges of the glass not flush with some corners [the whole face is slightly slanted]
4. Black plastic slightly bulging outwards [won't stay flush with the aluminum cover]
5. Not impressive battery life [probably subjective]
6. Not bright enough backlight [probably subjective also]
Thanks!

Text message alert is barely audible and unchangeable
Posted: Aug 2, 2007 5:15 PM Reply Email
As a doctor, I have relied on text messages (instead of carrying a pager)to get my medical pages for the past 5 years. The text message alert for the iPhone has 3 problems: 1) it is so soft and brief that you are sure to miss the message if the phone is more than a few feet from you or if you are in a slightly noisy environment, 2) it can not be changed, and 3) there is no mechanism for "reminder" alerts that would allow you to catch the message a few minutes later, if you missed it the first time.
My Razr phone did all of this with ease, and I imagine that every high end phone does it, except for the iPhone. I have met many people who rely on getting their text messages promptly who have the same complaint about the iPhone.
If you share the same concern, please join me in giving feedback to Apple about this issue. Go to www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. Ask them to come up with a software upgrade for this problem.

You are absolutely correct. I too, rely on being able to hear an alert when a text message comes in. I've already submitted feedback on the subject too. This is the only area where my miserable V3i Razr was superior.
This is a critical fix for Apple.

Add me too. For a phone the iPhone is barely usable for me due to the volume. I find myself missing emails and sms as I cant hear the alerts.
I now carry the iPhone in a top shirt pocket almost 100% of the time as thats the only way I can hear any notifications.

Hopefully you guys do as well.

Blame AT&T network or Iphone and 1.01 update for missed calls ?
Posted: Aug 5, 2007 12:13 AM Reply Email
Recently I've been missing allot of calls because my Iphone did not ring when someone calls. I have to turn on my phone and check it to see if there are any missed calls. It took me two calls from my home phone to make the phone ring? Can this be blamed on the ATT poor signals or Iphone? Could it also be the 1.01 update (killed my WIFI) that?s causing this?

You have to turn on your iPhone to see if there are any missed calls? This doesn't make sense to me.
What you need to do is turn on your iPhone so you don't miss any calls. Sound to me that you are saying your iPhone is turned off. Well, I don't think you will ever hear it ring with it turned off.

I have also noticed that when I am on the phone I do not get an indication that another call is also coming in and subsequently it is only after my call is complete to I then get an indication that another call had come in.
I have my call waiting set on which should signal me that a caller is on the line. If I knew this was the case I might put the first caller on hold and answer the second call.
Come to think of it, since I purchased the phone on Saturday, June 30th, I have never been signaled that a call is waiting.

I should have added that I never had the situation where a second call was coming in and not knowing it. This included the two years with my Treo 650 on AT&T and my previous phones, all with AT&T spanning a period in excess of 12 years.
I think/speculate that this may be a glitch in the iPhone.

Might already be stating the obvious - but - did you reset your iPhone after you did your updates?
The phone needs to be turned off and back on every couple days to let it re-acquire a clean signal and to clean out the mess it creates over time.

First, if the update "killed your Wifi", you should probably have that looked at. This is not a normal thing. Get that looked at, then worry about everything else.
Until that can happen, realize that any time you're transferring data over EDGE you're unable to receive calls.
