I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, he didn't.

 

oh I'm itching to get a 4S.. I even put my 16gb 4 on CL briefly for $300... got 2 hits within 5 minutes... one offered 250 and the other wanted to do 300.. but I'd have to pay $150 ($449 total) for a 16gb 4S... and I 100% know this is absolutely a luxury...

 

Do it! You're paying less then the upgrade price!

 

What I mean is l, what you're paying out of pocket is less.

 

well sure, but I really have no business spending $150 on a frivolous luxury like this right now... I mean there is absolutely no reason I "need" to get this right now. I think its just that stupid sh&tsirisays blog thats pissing me off lol

 

Don't know if this was mentioned before but I found a nice little update to the messages app. If you are in the messages app and viewing a text message and the keyboard is visible, you can swipe from the message boxes area all the way to the bottom of the screen, it will hide the keyboard. And if it's hidden, you can swipe up from the text input field and it will show the keyboard. This works in portrait and landscape mode. I hated that in previous versions of iOS that once the keyboard was shown you couldn't easily hide it.

 

^^^ yeah I totally love that, good fix. bugged me in the past

 

and love the imessage.

Now I can chat with friends are over seas for free w.o using 3rd party messagers.

 

I probably wont' upgrade to 4s... I have another year left in my contract, so I probably wait for 5 to come out, or I might switch it to Samsung Galaxy S2.

 

Ive got a year... (Well more like 8 months) left on my contract but I've been eligible for an upgrade since June.

 

I also love this. I hated not being able to see the previous message

 

A coworker just shared with me that you can swipe down in the weather app on a given day to see a breakdown of the weather temp changes by the hour.

 

very cool!

 

^^

 

5 is supposedly the last project Steve worked hands on with.

It's gonna be

 

That's the rumor I've heard too

 

yeah it looks like ill wait for the 5.

 

That's what I'm waiting for. Not a fan of Android, WebOS is dead and Blackberry is next if they don't shape up fast. I just wish Apple would have another model with a physical keyboard...

 

Physical keyboards are on their last leg, just like RIM.

 

I just received an e-mail from AT&T saying it's going to be 3-4 weeks until I get my phone

 

Which is unfortunate, I don't want a 4.5 inch screen on a phone and there are simply too many mistakes made with a touchscreen keyboard. I don't have the dainty female asian fingers that most likely comprise their test subjects.

 

Not to bring up a android v. iphone debate, but Android does allow you to choose multiple keyboards from the Market. Things like Swype and SwiftKey have made the virtual keyboard a lot more tolerable.

 

The auto-correct in the phones is so good though, that it almost doesn't matter if you aren't hitting the right buttons. I can type "ytpw" on my iPhone and it'll correct it to "type". And you get used to it, fast. I can't imagine using a physical keyboard now. Every time I try to, it just feels much slower.

 

yeah, I can type much faster on iphone than I ever could on a blackberry , treo , etc. of course, it comes with practice.

 

True and some of their keyboards are ok but I just don't like Android for some reason (which I can't put into a coherent argument). Just call it a preference.

 

I can't agree with you more. No matter how much I've typed on a virtual keyboard, I can type so much faster on a physical keyboard. There is no replacement for tactile feedback when it comes to typing.

I understand the reasons why they have moved to virtual keyboards for many of the devices like saving costs on parts, reducing wear on the phone, making the phones smaller, etc., but I would gladly spend an extra $25-50 if it meant having a physical keyboard.

 

On the "typing" related subject, I absolutely DESPISE the fact that the send button for a text message is immediately above the keyboard. I've accidentally sent so many incomplete text messages because of that. If they simply changed the send button to be a toggle switch like the "On/Off" buttons where you simply swipe the switch to one side and then it sends the message, but then the button snaps back to 'off' position it would greatly help.

 

its not *that* close to the keyboard... have I done it before? sure. maybe after a few

 

Werd or just move the location of it.

 

So I was wondering why people still call next one that will come out next year to be called iphone5.....

Wasn't rumored-iphone5 due to 5th generation iphone? Just like iphone4 was 4th generation iphone?

Now that iphone4s is out (5th generation), what would make you guys believe next one will be iphone5? My possible guess would be iphone4g if it comes out with LTE.. or iphone6?
I guess it really doesn't matter what it'll be called, but just throwing out my thoughts..

 

You could always get a case with a slide out keyboard? I've seen some for the iPhone 4. Looks almost OEM.

 

The 4s is not the next gen, it's a mid model make over.

 

Well iPhone 3G was the 2nd generation

iPhone 3G S = 3rd gen
iPhone 4 = 4th
iPhone 4 S = (?) technically 5th gen
iPhone (??) = 6th gen.

I guess people are calling it iPhone 5 cause they don't really consider the 4 S as a next gen.

 

Then iPhone 4 would technically be iPhone 3.

With iPhone 3G S being 2.5th generation

 

Wasn't the 3G named as such for the AT&T network?

 

says who?

they call it revolutionary by themselves..

it doesn't sound right to call it a mid model make over due to lack of new form factor


what gives the name iphone 4 then?

 

Apple says it's the 4s, not a 5.


What gives, the 4 it's name? Shit it's be called that by Apple for 1 1/2 years. The number four comes after the number three... Want to call it something else, go ahead, call it the Yohan, the lefthand, the righthand...

 

Do you have that hard of a time admitting that maybe people are just not calling it the right name?

By the way, the Galaxy S 2 has a better camera than the 4S.

 

By .7!!!!!!!!!! That's right point seven!

 

That still doesn't answer whether 4s should be a new model or mid model make over.

But I will let you believe it's a mid model make over. I will believe it's a 5th generation iphone.

Okay.
