But I already had my voicemail set up and the greetings are all the same as before I had the iphone. Was I STILL supposed to get that setup process to happen even though I had voicemail set up previous to iphone?
VanMardigan said:One thumb in portrait mode? Damn. You should post a video on YouTube cause now I'm REALLY doubting how you can beat out my 8525 with a full QWERTY and predictive texting with one finger in portrait mode. That's some impressive abilities right there.
btw, anyone have any ideas on what I can try to get visual voicemail?
Yeah, I'm not saying I should be in the olympics or anything, but I find with the size of my fingers(large), and the accurate predictive input, it's easier to type with 1 thumb in portrait mode. Another benefit of portrait mode is the eyeglass is easier to move around in the increased vertical space in portrait mode.
Debate aside, I'm just too used to the virtual keyboard to go back at this point. It does exactly what I need it to do quickly.

I was not an AT&T customer before the iPhone, but even still there should probably be some kind of conversion process for visual voicemail that is done when you buy the iPhone. Again, call AT&T and have them take care of this. For the rest of us, it was an extremely simple process.

heh, no need to get hyped up. there's no challenge forthcoming.
I just think that a system that used the exact same text prediction and correction system as the iphone, but with real keys would be faster than the iPhone with only the software implementation. Well, for most people, at least. you seem like a typing prodigy, to be honest
Not that I want Apple to go with a hardware keyboard. I'm fast enough with just the software and screen.

And that's really the key. Let's say there is some uber physical keyboard that's faster. It would either make the phone thicker to accommodate a slide-out, or shrink the screen. Both of those compromises are unacceptable, especially when the keyboard as is works fine.
Definitely not hyped up by the way, I was joking.
enzom21 said:Okay so the phone has been jailbroken and you have restored and once the restore is completed this keeps coming up asking you to restore again, correct?
Exactly....Ive restored it twice now and it never fully restores the music and vids.
Do you think I should run through the process all over again.?
The phone works perfectly and its jailbroken, itunes does'nt want to recognize it because its still in its DNF mode.
Thanks

I've read the last few pages of the thread and I see a lot about jailbreak. I get that it allows you to do stuff to your phone that isn't normally allowed...but I'm not really clear. Anyone want to clarify exactly why I'd jailbreak a phone? And whether there are dire consequences...

It gives the iphone a deeper level of custumization that has not been offered by apple. also it cuts the tether from ITunes and apple, which leads to new apps that wouldnt be allowed otherwise.
Honestly check youtube for jailbroken ipod apps and see what is possible.

So Jailbreaking is something I should pretty much definitely do--it's pretty safe and leads to some fun customization?
I'll check out youtube. Thanks for the info.

EDIT: BOTH SUPPORT FTP!!
MobileFinder on AppStore
This lets you utilize a webbrowser to transfer files to and from your iphone/touch and use it as a storage device. Works with both Mac and PC. Only $1.99!!
DataCase is another option and supports FTP!!

Yeah I know there are apps available for a jailbroken phone. But I'm not interested in going that route. Everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to do it and I feel obliged to say "yeah, soon" even though I never plan to. I work with very technical people so the idea of someone only interested in running the phone in its original state is rather confusing for many. I personally just don't need any more extra hassles. I deal with enough technical problems day in day out and the last thing I need is more of them.
dallow_bg said:
Of course not. I'm just saying. Venting perhaps because many people think it's just assumed I'd be jailbreaking my phone (I work in IT).
enzom21 said:
It isn't a matter of difficulty. Just a matter of avoiding problems if I can. I recently just finished installing and configuring a HP itanium unix server running oracle 10. As I said. I get enough technical problems to work through without potentially creating more for myself.
DarkJC said:
There was more reason to jailbreak before 2.0 came out, obviously.
Heck, I'm still waiting for the app store version of the Lights-Out game that came out last year for Installer. I know there are some other versions on the store, but they all look cheap compared to the original.

dallow_bg said:Still waiting for Mobile Scrobbler for lastfm.
My most missed app.
Oh, and iFlickr.
for my own info, what does the mobile scrobbler app do that the last.fm app (from the store) doesn't do?
does the mobile scrobbler app keep track of the music you play via the ipod app?
Yes, MrOctober, it has been.
I simply had it keep track of the iPod app as you mentioned and let it post to my lastfm in realtime as I listened to whatever.
That was my fave feature.
It did exactly the same thing and more. Though I hardly used the app itself.LCfiner said:

Err, bullshit. The hassle is not being able to apply any updates until a new jailbreak-safe patch comes along. Ive got my iPhone jailbroken and am about to apply the 2.02 version, but to say jailbreaking doesn't add extra time and complexity, not to mention uncertainty in the updating process is just silly. There's ALWAYS a risk, albeit small, of bricking, etc the phone.
enzom21 said:
True. But I'm running an unlocked AT&T iPhone on Rogers, so obviously that would be a problem. If I had a legit phone here, I don't think Id bother with jailbreaking, especially with the Appstore now and the rather pathetic selection of 2.0 jailbreak software.

Perhaps it's been asked already... but what are the killer apps for a jailbroken iphone?
Jailbreaking the PSP was a no brainer (er... we just called it "hacking" but same thing)... Flawless PS1, NES, CPS and MVS emulators, which for a dedicated gaming machine made perfect sense.... But I still haven't seen a program for the jailbroken iphone that makes me think "Wow... I NEED this"... seems like a novelty so far, at least for my needs, but perhaps I've not heard all there is to offer....
