Sticksboi05 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My other reason for buying the iPhone is that my current iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is having issues with the headphone port. Now I know that all phones have an MP3 player, but being able to sync my iTunes with my phone wireless is a big thing for me. It allows me to not have to carry 2 devices with me when driving, so I'll be preordering a 32GB iPhone 4S on Friday. Yeah, I'm trying to phase out my MP3 player also. I'll probably get the Rhapsody app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My only issue with that I use my phone a lot while driving, and a lot of the area near my house has very low cell coverage. Barely enough to make a call, not nearly enough for data download. Plus, you lose a good bit of sound quality with it meaning I'd be wasting the nice sound system in my car. I think I've only ever lost the coverage for it once. I don't notice a difference in sound quality either and I have a nice sound system in my car.

Sticksboi05 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 What kind of files do you use on your iPod? I mean, MP3's at this point, should be at 256 kbps but FLAC is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Bleed_B&G Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think you lose a little sound quality streaming on your phone but nothing I can really notice. I use pandora and my google music in my car via bluetooth on my car unit. Works really well and when my car Nav cuts in, it pauses the music and picks up after the Nav lady shuts up.

TorresA Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The iPhone 4S Is Microsoft’s Chance to Catch up to Apple http://gizmodo.com/5846929/the-iphone-4s-is-microsofts-chance-to-catch-up-to-apple The iPhone 4S is a nice phone. But most people think it's a disappointment. After all, it comes in last years' skin, and its guts aren't radically amazing. It's nothing special. And that means it's Microsoft's chance to counterattack. I say Microsoft because Android is still a mixed bag of hurt and ugly—a lemonparty. Its hardware is competitive and the OS is highly customizable, but it's still just a me-too option full of inconsistencies. Right now, Microsoft's awesome Metro user experience is the only real alternative to Apple's dominance. Not in market share—yet—but in terms of technological superiority. FAF, if you will, the ****ing-Awesome Factor. To me, Windows Phone 7.5 feels like the only real challenger to Apple's iOS 5 superiority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybrant Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 This might be a stupid question.. But I'm not exactly into the whole phone thing.. I did buy the Iphone 4 but that was for Internet, Camera/Video, and Itunes purposes. I saw where Iphones sell for ridiculous prices on Ebay.. If a person was going to renew their plan anyeay... Why not get an Iphone 5 for 300 bucks w/the plan and sell it on Ebay for $1000 (probably more) and pretty much get another phone and make some money while they're at it or just pocket the cash? Or am I just completely missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes you could make money off selling the phone, but its going to cost more than $300 to get that same phone back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could get another phone at retail price plus put a few hundred in your pocket.. I just figured there was a catch and I was missing something.

Not sure if you'll get $1,000 for it, but its definitely worth a try I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacky McSlackAss Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well, if anyone in this thread is willing to spend that much for an iPhone 4S, I will be staying up for the 3AM pre order launch and would be willing to sell you my pre-order for a discounted price of $1000.
