It isn't the end of the world, but I have to totally disagree with you regarding homescreen formatting in landscape. On my Nexus the icons for the apps rearrange with no noticible aesthetic degredation. I promise, the icons can just turn and turn again with no issues whatsoever. I don't think...

Thanks. That is kind of what I thought. Seems like a strange thing to limit. I can't imagine why Apple would put a restriction that stops us from taking full advantage of the screen. They must have a reason, I guess. Like I said, it is a minor frustration, but I really do love the phone :)

Okay, coming over from a Nexus S4G to the iPhone 4S has been a lot of fun and I am glad that I made the switch. However, there are some things that I miss about the Nexus. Namely, why in the world would Apple lock down the accelerometer in places like the home screen/certain apps/news...

You know, I am *really* glad that I got her the phone because she has not put my 4S down since I brought it in the door. I never get to use my phone! Tee hee, she is going to be soooo stoked. I love this time of year. The only thing that has me a tiny bit worried is that we will be flying this...

I got an Otterbox defender series case and I am completly unhappy with it. It does NOT fit the Sprint iPhone 4S correctly (although it claims it is for iPhone 4S). The headphone jack "hole" is nowhere neare the right place. I have to lift the rubber port access in order to use it and that makes...

I will be an iPhone Santa for my DD this year. A brand new iPhone 4 will be her first smartphone. I even stole her feature phone for an afternoon and managed to get her iPhone acitvated/contacts ported/a new case, etc. When she noticed her feature phone wasn't working, I claimed that I could not...

I went with Applecare and will cancel my Sprint monthly-pay insurance for two reasons: 1.) Apple care will work out to cost less 2.) When I have an issue, I can go right to the Apple store and forego having to deal with the mediocrity that is Sprint repair. Have you ever dealt with Sprint for a...

Haha. I *just* read that on another thread. I'm sure that jailbreak will come along any minute now ;)

Got mine on Wednesday as well. Light years better than the Nexus S4G I was sporting. So nice to have a device that really does just work.

Thanks to you both. It is kind of senseless to have to back out of one app and go into another to share photos, but it is what it is. Thanks for the jailbreaking heads up. Not sure I want to mess with that. I just migrated from a Nexus S4G (suckmost device) but, one thing it did easily is share...

Hey all, I am curious. After searching the forums because I couldn't figure out how to send photos to Facebook I have learned that the ONLY way you can do this is to exit out of camera/gallery and open FB app and load the pics from there? Can that be right? Even my old Palm Pre had a shortcut...

Hi Everyone, I just got my first iOS device (iPhone 4S) yesterday and just wanted to shout out and say hello. I'm migrating from Android and had a Pam Pre before that and an old Centro years ago. Other than the old style iPod Nano that I have had forever, I've never owned Apple anything. So...

Thanks! I think I just used the wrong combination of key words :p

Please forgive if there's already a thread that is similar to this one. I did a search, but found nothing. I'm considering purchasing an iPhone and wondering what is the best way to go about it -- either via The Apple Store or AT&T? And is it better to visit the store or order online. I would...
