    Just thinking, eBay problems with iPhone 3G

    Same here. I live in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina and we have EXCELLENT 3G coverage. Soo... no issues here, whatsoever.

    i may be selling my 3g iPhone after today

    Lots of hospitals and doctors offices block cellular signals, largely noticeable and not surprising because there are signs everywhere that tell you not to use your cell phone. If you've had problems other than what you had at the hospital today, that's a whole different matter. If it is ANY...

    Tips: How to Swap out Your Broken iPhone at an Apple Store

    Once the phone has been on the market for about 90 days, they'll start having refurbs to swap out, and it'll be easier to get another phone if the one you've got has gone all hinky on you. This said, I've had better luck with my refurbs than my original first gen phone. In fact, the last one I...

    Blocked or Unknown callers

    Dude, I tried to figure a workaround for that AGES ago. If you ever figure it out, let me know. I'd adore just being able to BLOCK calls that are unknowns. But I cannot do even that.

    Did the first gen iPhone have lots of bugs like the 2.0 software?

    Yes. Yes. and Yes. I bought my first gen phone on launch day, and so far, I've been through 4 of them. :) None of it was ever bad enough to make me not want to use it, but weird stuff happened to an annoying degree with my very first one. Like, every time there'd be an update to the...

    Selling on ebay

    AT&T has the system set up so it knows when you're on an iPhone and when you are not. Or rather, it knows when you are supposed to be on an iPhone. Sooo... if you got an iPhone, but didn't tell AT&T and you tried to put your SIM in and use it, it would not work. I have tried this with other...

    To 3G or not to 3G... advice?

    Yeah. I like that white 16gig. ;) Soo... do I jailbreak my 2g before I sell that baby on eBay? I just dunno. I don't need the money, so if I wrecked it, it wouldn't be a tragedy. But it sure would be nice to recoup the losses from my 600-dollar launch purchase (okay, so 500 dollars, thanks to...

    HELP: Considering Purchasing the new iPhone

    No clue. I think that the Google Mobile app is supposed to work like Google Desktop for your iPhone, but what I've found is that it searches the contacts and the Web just fine, but skips any other data on my device. If it would search my other data I'd say you could safely switch and be just...

    To 3G or not to 3G... advice?

    Well, ktm, I already have an iPhone (I'm such a geek, I bought it on launch day back in 2007), so I already prefer them to any of the other smartphones. I'm just trying to sort out whether it's worth it to switch now, or wait and see if AT&T quit being cheap and give me my corporate discount...

    To 3G or not to 3G... advice?

    Okay... here's the deal: I don't have one, but I also haven't been shopping for one... yet. I'm torn because I can get back my corporate discount if I go for the 3g (they won't give it to me with my 2g, even though I've had it for over and year, and Apple isn't selling them anymore). Jerks...

    help me choose iphone 2g or 3g?

    For what it is worth, if you only need a basic idea of where you are, the Google maps app on the 2G iPhone tells you that, using info from nearby cell towers. It can be off a little, but not terribly. So I wouldn't try to navigate my way through the woods with it, or a complex city, but if...

    Jirbo Arcade

    Okay, it advertises that it contains Jirbo Avatar, Jirbo Match and Jirbo Says. In truth, it only has the last 2. You have to download Jirbo Avatar separately if you wanna sync to the Web with your high scores and such. Not a biggie, as you really don't need this, I suppose. I have it. It's...

    Google app

    Whose name I forget, but there's only one. I was about to say that I like it fine so far, and it is getting horrible reviews on the app store, largely because the people who are on the app store have clearly never used Google Desktop. Well, this thing is SUPPOSED to be Google Desktop for your...

    Is it safe to update my iPhone yet?

    My son got that message on his iPhone several days ago BEFORE the software update. I don't think it's bricked. He thought his was bricked, but alas, it was not, and he's now on 2.0, and merrily using it today. Try it again. If it is indeed bricked, what's the worst that can happen? (Breathe...

    Pandora Radio

    How do I love this app? Let me count the ways: 1) It is free 2) It gives me music 3) It gives me music that I haven't heard in ages, or I have never heard, but am glad to be hearing For all 2 of you who haven't heard of Pandora, here's a link to the Web site (you can use it over your...
