LOVE my iPhone. omg!!!!

I use it for EVERYTHING, totally geeked out.

1. tweeting all day from wherever I am
2. facebooking all day from wherever I am
3. uploading pictures to facebook on the fly
4. headache diary: this has been an amazing tool to track my headache problem, triggers, environment, times they begin and end, even pulls in weather info for each headache and exports a full spreadsheet so I can study and compare and figure out the triggers
5. MAPS -- the map feature is beyond fantastic!!! public transport routes, traffic jams, etc.
6. LISTS -- I make all sorts of lists and refer to them throughout the day to remember what I have to do, buy etc.
7. Urbanspoon -- find restaurants nearby wherever I am
8. Fandango
9. Travel: Going to NYC next week. I downloaded an app that has subway maps, bus maps, tourist attractions, basically anything I need for anything I want to do

...and so much more...

Oh, and now I depend on it for all my calendar and appointment needs.

looking up websites when I need some information on the fly


I have no idea what multitasking is, or jailbreaking

Is there really an app for that?
I hope staring at a glowing rectangle isn't a trigger!

If you love your iphone now, you will love it 100 times more with multitasking.

Jailbreaking is term used to describe the process of modifying the iphone firmware to allow you to run third-party software that has not been approved by the Apple iStore Politburo. Want to turn your iPhone into a WiFi hotspot that you can use to connect your laptop to the internent? No problem, if you jailbreak.

The cheapest here is 8000 pesos - that's like $650 USD, and if I had the money, I would SO buy it

I used a Blackberry for a couple of days ( ) and it was such a nightmare

Was all the multitasking and long battery life confusing?

evenstar3 said:

I mainly had issues with the keyboard and the fuglyness of the software

NDRU said:

I'm telling you, there's an app for EVERYTHING

Stax said:

thanks for the info!

I have to say, the iPhone is such breakthrough (at least my life )that its limitations are immediate apparent. The small screen bugs me, and my 'data retrieval' is slow. And the apps are all buggy. All of them.

I can definitely see why the iPad would entice. I'd love to have a bigger screen and just sit in bed and surf, and actually be able to see the fine print.

My computer-sitting time has gone way down, and that's a great thing.

I don't like laptops, don't own one.

One caveat...

If you jailbreak, you automatically void any warrantee or Extended Applecare Plan you may still have on the iPhone. Apple may or may not still be willing to do repairs if you encounter a problem, but you'll pay every penny out of pocket.

Lammastide said:

I'm not sure I'll go that route, but at least I'm hip to the lingo!

Lammastide said:

This is true, good point, but if you do a DFU restore before sending into Apple, they will repair under warranty/Applecare becuase there will be no evidence of jailbreak. If you can't do a restore, however, you take your chances. This is the primary reason that I have not yet jailbroken my phone. I am out of warranty now, however, and my AT&T contract is up in July. Once the contract is done, I will jailbreak and unlock the phone.

heartbeatocean said:

You can use the iPad as a laptop, too, by connecting a keyboard. I'm tempted, but I don't know how much the monthly charges are compared to iPhone.

Stax said:

My warranty period just expired. I may jailbreak as well. Never had the backbone to do it, though, while I was still covered.

heartbeatocean said:

that's the important part; I don't even have an iPhone!

ZombieKitten said:

Hey orgers, Im typing this reply on an iPad. It seems really cool, but Im not sure if Id use this as a replacement for a laptop.

Alej said:

you always have to get used to a new keyboard on a different phone! and the new blackberries are uber pretty.

i still think you're cool even though you have an iphone

evenstar3 said:

I don't have an iPhone I wish. I have an iPod touch

and

Horsefeathers said:

I was in our version of Best Buy last night taking a peek, but still want an iPod Touch with a camera and they still don't have one, so I keep waiting waiting

Have you tried the Grindr app? Grindr uses the GPS on our iPhones to geolocate the booty.
You can connect with like 15 guys within a five mile radius.
Life changing!

NDRU said:

I don't think I'll jump on that bandwagon until it's out for a while and prices come down. I'm already spending $90/mo for this iPhone.

heartbeatocean said:

oh wow. yeah i would love to figure out what causes most of mine.

evenstar3 said:

oh shit you might be swaying me!!!!!

I could never decide: http://prince.org/msg/100/306259

oh and, Palm Pre

Cinnie said:

the biggest thing, bottom line, to me is the battery. if i can't run multiple applications (instant messengers, internet browsers, google maps, pandora radio) all day long without having the battery dead in 2 hours what's the point of having a phone with those kind of capabilities?! iphones are just shit.
