So any one got the iPhone 3G ... - 08-20-2008, 03:38 AM

Hey guys , its more than a month since apple launched the iPhone 3G ... did any one purchase it ? It reached my country illegally and can be activated by Hardware activated sim cards. And the software has been jailbroken already.

Perosnaly I bought it with turbo sim to unlock it and I did the jailbreaking my self to download some of the great apps. things I hate about it, the lack of organized SMS inBox, no MMS, no video recording. Things I like: anything can be designed to operate on this platform ! And the great user interface. Gmail (or email in general) synchronization is awesome.

So any one here purchased it ? I know RikfromBelgium did already

I have one. I like it, but I don't love it, at least not yet. It is great when I have wireless connection, but the ATT 3G connection is not the fastest, so browsing can be at times frustrating. Things I love the most is location based services.

I think size will get bigger. In addition there is no video call

Re: So any one got the iPhone 3G ... - 08-20-2008, 07:51 AM

I purchased one a few days ago. It's not officially out in my country (Croatia) yet, but when it does it will be most likely locked to T-mobile. But Italy and a few other countries have the legally unlocked iPhone for sale (Vodafone and TIM both have it), albeit at a much higher price (500 Euros for 8GB).
I love it so far, but then again I knew I would. The few little annoyances will most likely be fixed in software (MMS, video recording, clipboard) and judging by the rest of the software features, it will be very good.
With regards to MPixel count, bigger isn't always better. The bottleneck on all cameraphones is the lens, which has to be very small and can't have optical zoom (or if it does the phone is significantly larger). You could easily increase the MP count by using a different chip, but all other things being equal, all you'd get is a larger image that uses more space in memory but isn't necessarily of higher quality. The reason is because now, for example, you have 4 neighboring pixels with the exact same color that were previously recorded to one pixel - which is exactly the effect you get when you enlarge an image in an imaging program like Photoshop.
The camera on the current iPhone is good when there is enough light, but it sucks in low light conditions. Perhaps a LED for flash in the next version. And an autofocus lens

Well Muhammed,currently i have the old iphone but with software updated and just got a SE C902 two weeks ago.IMO the new Iphone is a total waste of money and doesn't offer anything significant over the old one,u can even update the old one to the newest software.Of course there is the long list of other shortcomings in the phone like useless cam,no vid cam,bluetooth is just pretty primitive,battery not that good,pretty basic messages menu..ect..

Re: So any one got the iPhone 3G ... - 08-31-2008, 07:55 PM

some of the problems with the 3G:

-When charging, battery bar is always full.
-No warning signs when battery is almost out
-To open text messages it takes 10+ seconds
-Slow to type texts every once in awhile
-Keyboard does not show up in texting every once in awhile
-Words freeze on the screen on text messages
-Page jumps when typing on Safari
-Slow typing when on Safari every once in awhile
-Safari randomly closes once every day.
-Phone randomly hangs up.
-Once you answer a call, it takes 5 seconds to connect.
-When on the phone and the screen turns off, it does not turn back on until person hangs up.
-Ringtone does not ring on every phone call.
-Terrible battery life.

Over here, the phone is still not available (except for grey imports). Hopefully when its get launched in about 2 months they will have a firmware update to sort out the bugs.
Still has the most awesome user interface I have ever come across.
