Well at last after months and months of calling 02 tossers, they are sending my new iphone next week

So as I am a bit of a mac geek, I am sorting out stuff ready for its arrival.
Quick question. Which are the best iphone related websites ?


oh...and be prepared for me being a complete iphone bore over the next few months

Ant

these sites arent bad swiss i use these.

Apple & iPhone News | Forums | ModMyi.com
iClarified - Apple News and Tutorials

so that means more "quality" jokes seeing as you'll be able to be online nearly all the time?

Cheers mate. Always been a fan of ipodlounge as well


Quality jokes ? No
Quantity jokes ? Yes

The iPhone section of Hackintosh might be worth a look as well, if you wish to "modify" the phone of course.

Cheers markus sharkus

It will be standard at first, no need to jailbreak it straight off but I guess if i want some extra features I might go down that road

what one did you get?

Mogsi

Prepare to spend several hours browsing the App Store downloading and then deleting apps.....

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)

Black 16G of course

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)

Yes I guess that will be my first port of call

Have ordered a decent dock, pair of headphones, handsfree kit for the car and a decent case for it, all wubbery

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)

Deal from 02 ?? sorry you must be mistaken and typed something incorrect. 02 give a deal

Yeah right
No normal £35 squid per month and the handset cost

The best iphone app/gizmo/thingy I've seen is the pint of Carlsberg one

Thought I'd say moaning Swiss, from my iPhone

If you don't want to Jailbreak it, then there are quite a lot of games and applications on the iTunes store. Bejewelled, Trism, Tetris, Fuzzle, Google World, BA Flights are all quite good.

And if you convert videos it is always good to have something to watch during those bored moments on a train / at work etc...

Can you believe it ..drove down the road away from home and saw a DHL van in the village. Thought . bet that is my delivery.

My girlfriend then left the house and saw the same van coming along the road and stop. She legged it back and sure enough it was for me

But cant play with it until tonight

LanCat

My must have apps from the appstore are...

Air Sharing - copy and view files via wifi from your PC
Aroundme - Nearest pub, restaurant, supermarket, bank etc
Bloomberg - Financial quotes, news
iFooty - BBC football stuff
Mocha VNC Lite - VNC client
MyRail Lite - railway updates if you commute. V. neat.
Remote - Apple app to control itunes on your desktop/laptop
TubeStatus - Only if you are in London
Urbanspoon - restaurant finder
Trailguru - GPS logging/google/track sharing (for cyclists, runners, hikers etc)

I think Air Sharing is the only one that costs anything (It was free on release when I got it) but IMHO they are all worth having.

Enjoy!

Well thanks for that Lancat, some great suggestions there.

Yes it is now 11.30 and I have the little bugger in my sweaty hands putting lovely fingerprints all over it
Never been this excited by a phone since the first one I got from Radio Rentals

Didnt get home until after 9 p.m tonight so as you can guess I have not had that long to play with it, but already I have:

Set it up and all registered/activated
Synced my contacts, mobileme, calenders etc
Synced over a few songs and photos
Checked out google maps
Made a few phoen calls and texts
Listened to some voicemails, very cool

Am now off to play with the app store

chrisowe

Other good apps are:-
iPity - Mr T on your mobile
Wunder Radio - good internet radio app
Accufuel - good fuel consumption tracker
ITN News - News and video
Last Fm - good music streaming app

Beware the cheap rubber cases, you might as well use a femidom.

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)

Do they see Apple branded femidoms these days ??

SwissTony

iTrader: (19)
