Why did the infamous 'googy pls' thread title get removed? It was funny and ironic.
edit: Nevermind, it was the iOS 6 thread that had the title. Still has it too.

You can't set it to take 16:9 shots, but you could always just crop your photos using the edit button afterwards. It's pretty simple since they have a 16:9 option right there.
Unfortunately it crops it in landscape 16:9, so you'll have to rotate your photo first, then 16:9 crop, then rotate it back.

I would advise you to get something with Bluetooth A2DP besides USB. It's awesome. Just get in the car and start streaming to your stereo. It's not taxing on the battery either. And you get handsfree for calls.
If the car you're getting already has a stereo, you can add one of these to it: http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/bluetooth-hands-free-car-kits
I have the mki9100 myself since the 3GS came out, works like a treat.
Although I can see them releasing new versions soon already with the new lighting connector and maybe Bluetooth 4.0.

I wanted to throw this phone in the garbage last night. It said I had a 4G connection but I couldn't even send a text. My wife had her old phone with 3G and it worked perfectly. I tried everything to get it working but nothing.
Does anyone know the reason for this?

On AT&T? I have a 4S and even with full signal I have that problem occassionally with AT&T.

I sometimes have this issue on my 4S, especially in school. Switch Airplane Mode on and off, then try to send a message. If that doesn't work, just hard reset the phone using the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

Is this new to iOS 6? I don't remember being able to pick different sizes, it was all up to you to crop it yourself.

Nice... well that's better than nothing. I just wish I could take all my photos in 16X9. The only time I ever show off my pictures is on a computer monitor or the TV, both of which are 16X9.

Yeah. AT&T. I tried turning the phone off and on and the airplane mode but nothing helped.
I'll try the hard reset next time I guess.

In addition to my post about the iPhone 4, I personally think iOS 4 was the biggest update we have seen next to iPhone OS 2.0. Multitasking, wallpapers, folders, etc.
Notifications and a new Maps app haven't taken the spot, yet.

True, but it can still play/pause, rewind/back, FF/next. Maybe a bt 4.0 version could control more stuff? IDK
But anyways, I'm still stuck with a 4 until my 5 arrives, but I guess that with Siri it must be bliss. Especially because the parrot kit lets me replace their voice control with the iPhone's, so putting whatever song, artist, playlist, etc is just one button press away, and I don't even have to touch the iPhone. I almost think that for that reason alone I should have gotten a 4S when it came out.
The wait will be so worth it.

I usually love it too but there are times where that doesn't work out because trying to do something on your phone is not only dangerous but also illegal. That's why I still like the USB interface that allows me to navigate through my music and podcasts on the phone without needing to pick it up to fiddle with it.
Marty Chinn

This is true. Siri can minimize some of the interface, but not all depending on what you're doing. Like you can open Pandora, but you wouldn't be able to select a station. You could launch Instacast, but you wouldn't be able to do anything with it. Granted, it's not that different with a USB interface, but just saying Siri only gets you so far. More cars need to support Bluetooth controls that interface into Siri instead of their own system too. It's just unfortunate that car interfaces and tech is so far behind everything else. One of these days it'll get there but it sorta sucks right now. Unfortunately if you get caught hitting your home button, you get busted too. Touching a phone while driving is illegal in a lot of places.
It's a great phone but there wouldn't be any discount on Black Friday. Also since you don''t live in the US would LTE work in your area?
Not really. But it would be equivalent of almost 1000 dollars to buy it here. 4G is still in baby steps. 3G+ is our max now.

So where do you guys go to get some nice wallpapers? I mean ones that are actually designed for iOS devices, like the Blueprint one.
I've been using a scuff-free black version since day one and wideband audio is one of the best new features. Much better than expected.
Flyover is pure entertainment as it is now, but it's pretty amazing. Not quite the 10 cm resolution Saab promises, if this is in fact the technology Apple uses, but there might be limitations in terms of what is possible to render at this point.
Saab Rapid 3D Mapping
Pressing a bookmark in flyover mode triggers that 360 flight we've seen in demos. I love circling around interesting buildings and places zooming in closer and closer by saving 2 or 3 bookmarks at different heights. It's a little tricky to get it to work (it will only save at certain heights), but it's worth it.
I hope they add more features in the future. Changing angles, google earth-like tours, better performance/rendering, and maybe a mode that let's me slowly fly over cities in a straight line. Imagine the improvements in a few years. It runs more smoothly on an iPhone 5 for obvious reasons, but it looks so good on the new iPad.

A couple of pics from display models, and how worn down they have become
And certainly people take great care of the display items they are playing with...
Remember when the DS came out and they put demopods in stores everywhere.
Some of those touchscreens lasted maybe a day. People just suck handling items when it's not theirs.
Seconds after the photo was taken the drink spilled all over the phone, lol.

That "mouseover-to-see-what-it-would-look-like-when-actually-in-use feature" on that site is brilliant. Just brilliant.

Awesome site, thank you.
I don't think display models are quite thefair conparisonto owning your own.
I mean all display models get treated like crap beyond normal use. For example, I play the crap out of my handelds yet they never look like the forsaken versions on display.
Huge gouges on the screen, crusty sweaty joysticks etc. What about control pads on demo units? Do they wear the dame as your ones at home?

The Galaxy Nexus is getting an upgrade in about a month or so.
Oh really??? but you mean it'll get announced this month right? is it possible for a phone to be released in a month or two after it's announced? or will it be a 2013 release?
Thanks! Great site.
Because 16:9 crops too much of a sensor's vertical pixels, imo. Regular cameras are usually 4:3 and dslrs 3:2. I prefer 3:2 since it's a nice compromise between the two.

Announcement is supposed to be this month, release for November most likely. Sprint might get it this year.

No problem!
So it's been a month and looks like there's no third party alarm clock/speaker docks/charging docks coming out for iPhone5.
I've read several articles where with air play and bluetooth so prevalent, people no longer need docks. I agree with this except for it's extremely annoying using my iPhone as an alarm clock when it's not docked. I've almost ripped my lightning cable twice grabbing my phone to turn off the alarm when i wake up. When I want to check the time, I have to pick up the phone instead of just pressing the top when docked.
