The iPhone

[MrBurns]

New model out later this month - 32 GB, video and new camera. Very tempted to buy one as have been waiting for a new model

I've only had one a couple of months and the new one hasn't got anything I cant live without so I let this one go through to the keeper. Though I will take the free software upgrade out on the 17th.

Mine froze today, went to the Iphone dealer and he said press the off button at the top simultaneously with the home button and the phone will reset, takes a few minutes but that fixes it. Just a little tip

Got 16G iPhone last year, too good of a device
I'm going to upgrade to 32G iPhone 3GS.
Wonder how much it cost outright, cost me $880 for the iPhone 16G last year from Optus.

Got a bit of cash sitting on the side line waiting to buy more good stocks but nothing come this way yet...may as well put it to some use and help the economy and enjoy life

the upgrades arent that great. video capability, 3mp camera, 'faster' apparently... there really isnt any reason to upgrade to it... i suggest sugest just upgrading your firmware which is free for iphone users and $10 for ipod touch users.

Thats my take on it, never used to video on my Nokia, and a 2mp camera or 3 ? who really cares and faster ? mine is fast enough, software upgrade only for me.

Update 3.0 is out on Itunes today. 230 mbs, and downloading it now. Think this is the on that allows MMS?

Good review of the iPhone 3GS -

http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/iphone-3g-s-review/

If you have an iphone or are looking to buy your first, the end of the article talks about which model is right for you.

Yay, after a couple of scares (it would only allow emergency calls and am about to go interstate today!) it finally rebooted, and it does MMS! Apparently, the networks in the US havent allowed MMS yet, but here in Australia it works! So easy to do too! Good on ya Optus.

Video? I thought that was with the new phone and not just the update. Will have a squiz! Nope, no video.

no texting of pictures with ATT in the US is a pain. I can't tell you how many people have been like?Didn't you get my pictures? Doesn't give any notice to the sender that they didn't go through.

I do miss my blackberry a bit as I could type much easier with it rather than the touchscreen.

I will say the trading app is awsome that I use.

It only works if you have an account with Ameritrade

Wow that update took over an hour to download and install on my iPhone, very painful! But at last, copy and paste! One of the biggest things missing finally included, can't believe it took so long. Bring on the iPhone 3G S with more memory and a half-decent camera, that's really what the iPhone needs now.

Really glad it also includes the voice memos, that is extremely useful for recording conversations too

How do you download the update? Do you just connect your phone to the computer and open iTunes and it automatically asks? Or can you update any other way?

M34N, why did it take you so long? Do you have a slow internet connection or does it just take forever for the files to install?

Plug the phone into the PC open iTunes and go to your phone link on the left hand side, click on that and you'll see"update" cick on that and away you go, it takes about 10 minutes tops, it then reboots your phone which takes a few minutes and thats it.

The voice recorder is useless (no volume)

Good luck.

Took me 60-something minutes, including download time and the phone back-up process and rebooting a few times - painful indeed! They could warn people the update would take that long, I would of done it now when it's quieter and not when I want to use the phone. My internet connection is 1.5Mbps so it's not slow, but the download speeds from their server were only around 80kb/ps, and being a 230MB update...

Really can't wait to see the iPhone 3G S, that will kill anything else Blackberry makes hands down IMO.

I had one of my mates joke the other day to me that I give my phone waaaayyyy too much attention, and I said something along the lines of it being my wife
