Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

so say you're all ready 1 year into a 2 year AT&T phone contract with another phone...If you then buy an iPhone then it just re-starts your 2 years from that day? No penalties, higher prices, etc? Most phone companies screw you royally buying a new phone if you're all ready a customer.

Yah, phone companies (including ATT) do screw you when you buy a new phone early... with the iphone however, you can add it at any time without penalty (unless of course you consider re-extending your 2-year contract from that day a penalty).

We want to sell that phone man, not make people wait to get it

Also, I noticed the 3G iphone information has been posted... it's good news but I'll warn everyone of one thing; 3G service will suck away your battery life much faster than EDGE does... so don't be shocked if the battery life expectancy goes down significantly in a 3G area.

Yeah, according to what ole Stevie Jobs has said, the reason they didn't make the iPhone 3G from the get go is due to a drain of battery life. But with advancements in battery life, I would assume the battery life will be similar to what it is what version 1 once the 3G model is released.

Knoxville has 3G though, so bring it on

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I think they said it can narrow you down to 10 city blocks. And thats assuming your phone can contact other cell phone networks to do the math to pinpoint you.

Considering we have a billion and 1 cell phone towers here in NY, it should work out great.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

For those that acutally have the iPhone and think the speaker isn't loud enough, there is a post over at Engadget that said if you take a needle and stick it through the speaker holes (bottom left side), you will get a dramatic increase in the volume. Apparently there is a thin film there, probably to protect against dust getting inside the phone.

I just did it and wow, I can really tell a huge difference already and that's just after typing a text and actually hearing the clicks of the letters loud and clear. If you do this, there are only about half of the holes it will work on, basically the left half.

That's because the one on the right side isn't a speaker, it's a mic.

I know that, I meant of the holes on the left side, poke the ones on the left half of the left side. Confusing I know
