this game is awesome. So many modes you can do. I have one where I am doing a 36 game season with a team I picked and I have a career going as a hitter, where it fast forwards till your turn to bat. After so many games you can pick what area to train in. Been playing for 2 hours...

Sounds sick. Looked difficult in the video. If there's a demo I may check it out.

But wow, BS on the iPhone...

there is a demo...........search for baseball superstars free in the app store. It doesn't let you do but one mode I believe but I tried the demo this morning. Definitely feels like a SNES game.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

It's amazing... I think I've converted maybe 3-4 Blackberry Curve owners to iPhones, today being the lastest one.

It's funny how I used to like the device previously when my g/f bought one 2 years ago. Today it seems dated and the UI uninspired. It seems like it gets the job done for those just learning about smart phones though.

It's nice knowing the iPhone continues to evolve as time goes on. And between the app store and jailbreak community, there really isn't much you can't do.

Allows you to access features and apps that cant be found in Apple's App Store. Wit jailbreaking I'm able to play NES games, cut and paste text, easily view mms messages and get some tactile feedback from typing.

what MMS are you using? I saw Swirly MMS on Cydia but read it won't work if you have ATT or something like that.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Do you guys that have the 8GB feel you should have got the 16GB version? Is 8GB enought?

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I got the 16GB version, but that's just me...

Are you getting one?

It really depends on the size of your media. What do you plan on using it for? If it is simply for some music here and there, the 8GB will be fine. I find myself making compromises with my collection seeing at even 16GB isn't enough. Heck, a 32 gigger won't be enough either. But that's just me wanting everything with me at once.

For the guy who just needs some music and videos at their disposal, 8GB should be fine. You can set up about 5 for audio, 1 for video and the small rest for apps and other information.

Yeah, I think I'm getting one soon. My work will pay for the whole phone/data plan. I just can't decide if 8GB will be enough. I have an ipod that has all my itunes which is about 13 GB total. But I wouldn't need all that music on the iphone, I could put my favorite music on the phone. how much space to apps typically take up?

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

You get about 500 MB for apps... it's plenty; Most apps are a meg or so. Games are where most apps kill you in terms of space.

If the company is paying for it, go for the 16. The price different is negligible. Just don't expect RIM-like email management. There are a few differences but overall RIM is still a bit stronger in this one area thanks to BES.
