Has anyone who pre-ordered a 3GS still waiting on their confirmation e-mail? I ordered a few hours ago and still haven't recieved it. I assume they are just backed up.

I ordered around 6:00PM yesterday and didn't get the confirmation email until after 9:00PM, so just be patient.

huh? Should I order online or just go to the store? I do not have an ATT account yet. Would I have to have account first or do i do it at the same time as i buy the phone.
 
Can anybody recommend a good iPhone 3G / 3GS case that protects the phone well but doesn't make it look ugly as sin. Those iSkin cases look alright, but they're all so damn colorful. I want something simple, and something that doesn't have a giant piece of plastic over the screen.

I'm using a Vaja case on my iPhone OG currently. It's fancy, but has some problems. One, since the screen is exposed, dust and other tiny particles build up around the edges of the screen and other parts of the case. Two, it's leather so it looks awesome but doesn't offer a ton of protection.

Naked is the only way to go, just be careful with it! I've had my OG iPhone since launch and haven't put any case on it. Screen is fine and there's just normal wear and tear on the back. The iPhone is too sexy to cover it all up with ugly cases.

I signed up and bought the phone at the same time. Pretty easy process. Seems better to have it shipped to me then to wait in line and deal with potential shortages.
 
Well.. I'm installing 3.0 now! Fuck it, I'm too impatient. I have faith that it'll be jailbroken soon. As a side note, I just called Rogers to find out about upgrading to the S. All they know is the specs and the price, couldn't say anything about upgrading yet..

Rogers will support tethering and MMS day 1. :D

I have an unlocked 3G using T-mobile prepay in US. I wonder if I will be able to use MMS.

It's a network flag that's all, if your T-mobile plan allows it, you'll be able to once you get 3.0.

I agree for the OG iPhone but absolutely do not for the 3G iPhone. The 3G series would definitely pick up scratches that the originals wouldn't have ANY issues with. I am very interested in which direction the 3GS is headed in terms of protection.

I thought so too, and dropped my phone a couple of times without much damage, until recently when I dropped again while but this time facedown while running. Needless to say I have a cracked screen although the phone itself is perfectly useable.

Hey To the English iPhone owners here, does the Apple store in your locale also do the 'pay and get a new phone' if your phone has water damage or screen cracked? Do you ha e to show proof of an O2 account or is it just step inside the store and switch?

wrong, BodyGuardz is the way to go. have had these skins since the first iPhone and made sure to get it for the 3G. nobody notices its even on until i tell them and they look for it. you guys may not care too much about the scratches, but i think its a good investment to protect the phone, especially if you plan on reselling it.
 
I just ordered the black iSkin. I like how it's so tight and so sturdy, it's not cheap rubbery silicone that easily shifts, bends,moves and separates from the rim of the iPhone. Thanks to the user who posted iskin earlier.

After watching some Youtube reviews I decided the black iskin solo was perfect. I also liked the rumor about the silver border being blacked out on the new iPhone. We know that didn't come true but I can make it :)
 
Macrumors is reporting that the "Matte Finish iPhone" case that didn't come to fruition was actually real as the FCC numbers just revealed match up with the case.

Macrumors also reports that Steve Jobs is to return to the company later in June and is rumored to host a media event.

iPhone PRO.
 
I updated my 2g to 3.0 but it won't stay unlocked. I went from jb/ul 2.2.1 to 3.0 and when I'm done itunes says my phone doesn't support the sim. Anyone else having this issue?

Kinds anxious to use 3.0 specifically for spotlight but I just can't get it to work. And apple shoulda just released the damn thing already instead of trying to coincide with the 3gs release :'(

This would be a disaster.

This is the most retarded rumor I've ever heard. The iPhone 3GS is coming out June 19th and then they're gonna reveal a whole new one just days later? Get the fuck outta here :lol

AT&T has already made the iPhone 3GS launch a clusterfuck, no need for Apple to make things even worse by doing something like that.

I preordered in an AT&T store.. They used direct fulfillment.. its shipping to the store and will be there before the 19th so I can pick it up on the 19th at 7am. I'm new to AT&T too :)

I also got an e-mail confirmation from the store today.

Are you trying to kill the iPhone?
 
I just got off the wire with my rumor source.

OLED screen (equals better battery life), SMALLER form factor (same screen size, but the bevels on top and bottom are smaller), completely black no silver lining, matte finish, 64 GB, same speed improvements as 3Gs, front facing camera w/ video chat. $499 w/ 2 year contract.

...

Yea, I'm just joking. But that sounds like a good revamp of the iPhone for next WWDC. It hasn't really changed much since the initial introduction, and that list of specs above could really be looked at as the NEW iPhone.

The Wall Street Journal did report though that Apple wanted Jobs' return at the end of the month to coincide with a media event.

My commiserations. You're gonna need a few hugs. Make sure your first few bills are correct, avoid ATT customer service as much as possible, and prepare to weep tears of joy when you get a strong 3G signal. Still can't believe what a crapshoot it can be in SF (or at least the FinDistrict); though, you may be lucky and get strong 3G at all times. I usually leave it on Edge for phonecalls.

iPhone, though, is fantastic. App store is your new BFF.

Yes I'm leaving Verizon.. Trust me.. It burns me to say that.

Verizon is superior in every single way to AT&T but phone hardware.. !

Either way.. I'm going to go through it with a fine tooth comb at the store and make sure I don't get screwed over.

i think updates can do that to. So if you have any app and recently updated them

nah, they seem like completely different programs, like Up and Toobz? i just find it weird that they would be using my account to get free games so thinking its some kind of glitch. i sold a lot of iphones so its possible one might be linked to my account, but dont they need my password even for free games?

Where is everyone getting 3.0 from?

Itunes is telling me that 2.21 is the latest version.

Is it possible someone downloaded an app to your phone, then deleted it straight away?
 
yesss

1) can finally view the image after you take it without it being dumb
2) search is cool but not really needed, so you should be able to disable it
3) shake to shuffle FTW
4) copy/paste ftw
5) forwarding/deleting individual texts
6) updated contact info

just a few things i noticed and like
 
mrkgoo said:

on my phone? nope, and they wouldnt know my password anyway. really weird, its only happened twice. once about 2 weeks ago and kind of ignored it.
 
best thing about this is talk times for the phone calls

next up: individual SMS/MMS timestamping please! I prefer to know when i message someone so i don't lose track of time

seriously, how have they not implemented this yet? maybe show the time if we press on the text and hold our finger on top or something. i dont understand the time stamping that they do.
 
Madvillain said:
Just got it.

Copy and paste ftw.

I noticed a lot of the apps icons have changed. Supposedly the tethering is working with AT&T right now.

Cut and Paste works like a dream.

Is there a tethering application already installed? Can't work it out.
 
layzie1989 said:
how much you guys think the 3gs will go for on ebay?

probably the same the 3G went for, around 6-700 for the 32gb. going to be a bitch to get them though, apple/att really stepped up and plugged all the holes for getting multiple phones. i used to sell like 5 a week at a profit of 200+ each until they caught on or something.

I noticed they finally updated the scrubbing in iPod mode.

Now you can change the speed at which scrubbing happens. You tap and hold the scrubber, and move your finger up or down to change the speed of scrubbing. It's awesome for when you have audiobooks or 5 hour Howard Stern shows.

What the hell is scrubbing?

I used 3.4GB last month and I'm already at 3.5 this month, with week or so to go. How much would that cost me?

Not sure, but the maximum spend is about ¥4500 and minimum about ¥1030.

I use WiFi at home and step into McDonalds or coffee shops to use their WiFi, which is why I never reach the spend limit.

Can you do a few screen caps of the SMS services please? I am really an avid txt'er and I really need to know how good this is.

wait what? unless you have never synced your iphone before, there should be previously made backups in your itunes.
 
Vringo - that iPhone app that can sync your facebook friends profile pics to your contact list........where can I get it from as it isn't on the app store at all.

Anyone know if it has just gone for now until OS 3.0 is out?

well this is a NEW laptop, I have had th ephone plugged in to this computer but it seems that time it never synced...

if you still have the old computer you can easily just transfer over the files and stuff. although im going to assume this isnt an option since you said you cant get to your music either.

I do not have the old laptop anymore, but I cant download the music again from my iTunes account?

seems strange that they dont have a download button for the purchases that I have done in the past, you never know when your laptop crashes or stuff
