Introduce Yourself Here

Brand new to iPhone, long time iPod user, and I don't miss my Blackberry (yet, lol, let's hope I don't!)...hi!

Switched from Bold to 3GS

First time Iphone user, I have been using an Ipod for a long time. I had a Bold and my brother bought the 16GB 3GS and told me I should get one. I have been looking at the 3GS for a while now and decided to sell my Bold and buy one. I couldn't be happier. I do miss seeing the red light blink on my Bold when I had email, but I really don't need instant email notification. Setting up my work and personal email was easy, actually my work email took a little time, but it works now. I have already downloaded some apps and the browser is awesome. I have really enjoyed this phone so far. One other thing I miss on my Iphone is the profiles I could set for my phone and individual signatures for my email accounts, but these are small things and hopefully will be addressed down the road. Now over to Crackberry to change my profile.

We're pretty much in the same boat.

Welcome to the forums PwettyBird and KristiLynn, fellow Hoosier here PwettyBird. I'm missing my BB Bold less each day and I'm really enjoying the Iphone and glad I made the switch.

Hello everybody. Just got my first iPhone a few days ago. I am loving it so far. That whole "there's an app for that" thing is true. I didn't realize the app store had so much stuff. Still learning and having fun with it.

Name is William from Miami. I'm an iPhone newbie about to break my first month with it. I left Blackberry for it, and I've gotta say I don't regret it one bit.

Hello everyone. My name is Rick and I jumped ship from a Sprint Centro to a 3GS 32GB iPhone last Friday. I'm very impressed with the speed of the phone, but unfortunately AT&T has some poor reception areas in my apartment complex. I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of apps in the store but have already found a few jewels: iBird Pro, Radar Scope, AccuWeather, Pandora, AyeTides, and of course many games (but love Paper Toss).

Hope to learn as much as possible from the forum.

Thanks!

--Rick

.zip to .ipsw

Hello fellow iphoners. My name's Ray and I'm a new member as of 9/13/09. I'm one of the not particularly bright individuals who upgraded my 2g to 3.1, without knowing I wouldn't be able to re-unlock it Hopefully the option to re-unlock it will become available in the coming weeks. Thanks to the dev team for their hard work on that front. Even though I'm locked at this point it's been a valuable learning experience. I was particularly pleased when I figured out that the downloaded .zip file containing the 3.0 version software simply needed to be renamed with an .ipsw filename extension to make it useable to redsnow. Cheers!

Welcome to the forums Ray. Hopefully 3.1 unlock is out soon so you can use your iPhone again.

Wow, I finally found the right place in the forums. I joined yesterday and was frustated with the search for the "introductions" forum. I actually made 3 posts prior to this one so I hope I didn't break any rules. I'm a former Blackberry user and I have to say that I was one of the many skeptics that questioned iPhone's capabilities. I not only used RIM's products, I'm also a former salesman for one of the "Big Three" in the US market. I have to say that I was so impressed with my new 3G S's performance that I will not be switching to another manufacturer. I'm a permanent Apple user. I even purchased a MacBook Pro in late July. I love them both. I still have a PC but it's pretty much just sitting there now. Thank you everyone for all your valuable information and look forward to acquiring tons of knowledge. Thank you for having me here.
