iPhone apps S/D

Non issue. Just avoid grandfathering your plan.

Can't keep number and lose $230 credit that I already have with it. Also would have to pay deposit on new service.

sorry was just mimicking jobs' earlier email. let us know if he gets back to you :)

Two hour line at our Apple store yesterday. Not too bad all told, and the screen is wonderful. Also quite happy that we both qualified for fully subsidized pricing, despite being on a very low spending family line and having got 3GSs last year. By the time we sell those we should hopefully conme out slightly ahead financially, which still seems a bit weird (I know it's because the phone cost is subsidized by the contract, but still).

With our family plan we only qualify for one at a fully subsidized price, the other will be $499. Bought 3gs's day one last year.

Going to try again this morning. Rumor has it that the Michigan ave store has some stock left.

Ok, in line again.

So far my only annoyance is that you cannot continue to browse in safari whilst playing an iPlayer Radio stream.

My only annoyance is that I have only paid for like 3 apps in my entire life and one of the won't open in iOS 4. (It's an UNO clone so it's not actually a big deal; just annoying)

isn't the licensed uno on sale for £0.59/$0.99 right now? problem solved maybe :)

ah shi- just looked, seems like you missed out by a day or so

so q:

do i a) upgrade to os4 on my jailbroken phone and just assume i won't be getting a new one for a while (it's only a year old) or b) upgrade to a new phone (only $199 for me apparently) and try and sell the jbroken one on ebay

upgrade and sell IMO

see what i am wondering is this: will my 'qualified' status for the subsidized phone....expire? like if i wait until the end of the summer?

upgrade and sell to me

might also be worth unlocking the jailbroken phone, if possible, will probably give you a bit more value?

I don't think that status ever expires; both my wife and I qualified and we updated our phones 1.5 (for her)/1 (for me) year ago.

caek: ok

cool, i will post you a copy of my thesis and some undeveloped film

another annoyance; the stupid bullshit Playmesh games that I play when on the john or trying to fall asleep are tied to your device, so I now have to start over on all of them after getting to the point where I was making billions of dollars a day in all of them ;_; ;_; ;_;

Yay. Got 3 iPhone 4's. Finally.

Not 3. 2 of them. 3 would be absurd.

lolz

Also, ATT have implemented a no unlimited data plan policy for new accounts. existing account can keep unlimited data

people who are selling your iphone 3GSs, how much are you getting?

mine is unlocked and not jailbroken, but has lots of fine scratches from not using a case. wondering if I should sell and upgrade.

Apple/AT&T are selling new 3GSs for$99 so it would have to be a lot less than that

Also found out today that when AT&T switches to 4G network (which has to be real soon - sprint have had 4g forever and verizon are rolling theirs out in july) the iPhone 4 won't be able to use it. It will default to 3G. So I think I'm going to wait for the next one.

AT&T will switch to 4G very slowly if previous rollouts are anything to go by, sprint's coverage is still very very limited, besides AT&T is going with LTE (like sprint) which doesn't offer much more than the current HSPA. Not saying you shouldn't wait but I wouldn't make 4G the reason.

App store reviewers are worse than yelpers, the bile and vitriol heaped on developers who haven't made their apps iOS and multitasking compliant yet is staggering.

That said the first developer to make a gtalk client that works properly with iOS 4 will get my dollar.

Until recently I worked in IT at V3rizon and they're definitely rolling out LTE and 4G in July. Actually 4G is already out there they just haven't 'switched it on yet'. Still testing. I think the 18th is the officially date. Anyway, since Vz and AT&T are each others main competitors I can't imagine AT&T being far behind.

good point about the 3gs now being $99 (but that's w/ 2 yr plan obv, mine is unlocked but I'm not sure what other data networks work with it in the US). maybe I'll just 'sell' it to my mom

giving mine to dad

If it's unlocked can you do a prepaid thing with it?? Maybe pp will buy it. He's looking for a prepay phone but they all suck ass

probably but I dunno if they do prepaid data plans. I would feel weird selling it to another ILXor though, what if it breaks, etc. etc.

AT&T and T-Mobile are your options in the US for unlocked iPhone, Cricket and boost I think are MVNOs and probably your best options for prepay data.

I don't doubt AT&T and Verizon are on the verge of rolling out LTE, I'm not so sure that Apple will put it into the iPhone any time soon. Remember that the original iPhone was EDGE only and 3G coverage was pretty extensive. I'd bet on 2012 before we see an LTE capable iPhone.

Can't stop staring at new screen...

Well I can't believe it won't be next summer BUT if it is you're going have some v v happy Verizon peeps

oh wow! wallpaper! and can you turn it off? and all the default options look like hot contrasty vomit?

For those still wondering about installing iOS 4 on iPhone 3G -- download and save the iOS software, back your phone up, and then do a restore. Do not "install." When restore is complete, you can restore all of your contacts, voicemails, etc. Then, and this is important, REBOOT YOUR PHONE. If you don't reboot, everything is slow as molasses. Once you reboot, it gets pretty damn zippy!

Guy at the Concrete Blonde show last night had one, so I had to wander over to gawk at it. Said he had pre-ordered it thru the website, and AT&T mailed it to him on tuesday, whereas his friends camped out at the Portland shops from like 7am until 2pm or so.

yeah my friend preordered and had it delivered too

dont 'get' people who waited in line

the delivery option would not work on the pre-order day and most people were forced to choose in-store pickup. DO YOU 'GET' THAT?

how about 'wait like one fucking day to get the goddamn phone'

NOT AN OPTION

upon some thought, left feeling kind of cold by iphone 4. speed is not *that* much faster than the 3GS, new screen is obv. great but I don't really need a better camera or two cameras for that matter. design is pretty but I dunno if I could justify forking out $600 on it instead of say, an iPad.

Steve Jobs is cackling maniacally right now

;)

haha, replace "iPad" with "hookers and a bag of coke"

Steve Jobs can supply that for you too, TRUST ME

hookers and a bag of coke aren't there when you wake up in the morning

they do have a multi touch interface tho

not really getting the instructions for installing iOS4 on a 3G up there

me either, but for what it's worth; after i read those instructions i rebooted my phone, and it did take care of most of the lag i was experiencing.

Is there any way to script things on the iPhone; eg. turn on WIFI by location or time, launch certain apps at certain times?

nope
