Capt Rich Fla Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Wohooooo, I just got an iphone today. I like it, except I can't figure out how to log off of ES. When I hit safari to go to the internet, it goes right back to ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Wohooooo, I just got an iphone today. I like it, except I can't figure out how to log off of ES. When I hit safari to go to the internet, it goes right back to ES. Hit the safari button. That will activate the brower and will bring up the bottom bar menu. All the way to the right you will see a box within a box. that will open a 2nd window. Then you can close the window that has ES on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 According to this link, we will not get to upgrade...http://www.iphonealley.com/current I know and every way I've tried to purchase it online it's the same way. The thing is this happened the same way last year. I'm just hoping it's cheaper. I'm getting it regardless, but I'd love to save $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkHog Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The question is, will they let you upgrade if your contract is not up yet? No, starting today AT&T is not going to do that anymore. If you are mid-contract the 8GB 3G is $299, the 16GB 3GS is $399, and the 32GB 3GS is $499. http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/06/08/iphone-3gs-announced/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water will still damage your phone but in the new 3.0 software you can locate your iPhone from any computer using its GPS and wifi, make it make a noise so you can find it, and even remotely delete all sensitive data if it is stolen.

Yep, I'm all over that new feature. I'll probably buy mobileme for it as well. I'm testing out Safari 4 right now and I'm really impressed with it. I'm no Apple fanboy either.

Destino Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Until you've owned an iPhone you just don't understand how backward other phones are. It's the future. Best feature: Visual voicemail. Once you have it listening to messages in order and having to play them back entirely is horrible. Other phones are just now starting to get it.... but on networks like Verizon you have to pay extra for a phone feature. Allow me to repeat that, you have to pay the network extra for a PHONE FEATURE. 2nd best: The App Store. You have a need? Search the app store and most of the time someone has thought of it. Incredible. I can't wait for the new Iphone. Best damn phone ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I can't wait for the new Iphone. Best damn phone ever made. That sums it up. The iPhone is incredible and practically flawless.....you can do almost anything you want on it. I'll be getting up early on the 19th and heading out with a buddy to get it.

DCranon21 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just signed a contract with AT&T and got the 16GB iPhone in January, so I am going to just wait until I am eligible for an upgrade I just bought mine in March. I'll just do the software upgrade. I kind of figured a new phone was coming out after I seen the Palm Pre. A friend of mine is calling his Pre, the iPhone killer, which I laughed at his ass when he said that. But for all the 3G users, just get the OS upgrade, re-jailbreak the phone, and you'll be fine. But that longer battery life is a beast. I'll just wait next year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoot Point Really Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 IPhone is the best phone to-date... Even the simple phone/voice mail features are better than anything I have seen. AppStore is cool. Can't wait for the Hulu and Sirius apps to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Were you coming out of another smart phone? I had a palm treo 800w. Nice phone but I would miss calls and get text messages up to 18 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 So how much do you think the new Iphones will go for on Ebay? I'm eligible to renew my contract and am sort of happy with my current phone... Depends on the price I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I love my current phone even though it is around 3 years old or so. I would buy one as a gift if I needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the purpose of all the rest of that junk. ~Bang Im the same way for the most part except I use my phone to text as well. If I want to surf the internet, that is why I have a computer and internet service I pay for. I despise apple in general. I think most people have the iphone just because they think it makes them cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I also felt the same way about my phone, I just used it for calls. However, I got the iPhone because of the ability to download movies and tv shows into it for my son. I don't have a DVD player in my truck, so its very nice to hand him my phone and let him watch a movie. Since getting the iPhone, I have found that I use many of its features often. Much more often than I though. Its nice to not have to carry a camera around. Its nice to be able to have access to my email all the time. The games are pretty sweet too. Tiger Woods golf on the iPhone is amazing. Is it a necessity? No, I could survive without it, but it makes life a lot easier.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Plus, don't forget it makes you cool. This is actually true... When I got my iPhone, my students were so jealous... its amazing how cool I became...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Jam Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 I may go for the $99 version. Don't know how I feel about the AT&T network, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch_Lives59 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 3.0 OS will be available on the 17th and the DEV team already has a version of QuickPWN so you can still have your jailbreak and unlock....DEV team has a beta version out if you want the 3.0 OS right now... I spent the past week at the beach with no wifi and I downloaded an app from Cydia(PDAnet) that allows you to wirelessly tether you iphone using an ad-hoc connection from your laptop...

ttr77 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Question for all you iphone users: I am considering the iphone vs. blackberry for business purposes, but emailing and texting will be a HUGE part of my requirements. Does anyone have issues typing on the touch screen? I found the buttons to be so close together it was tough to use. Or is it just a matter of getting used to it?
