I still don't get it

 

Upgrades are phone based, not plan based.

 

oh, I see... nvm

 

Even though you are under one plan, the contracts run on each line.

 

Well I might as well upgrade too

 

so tell me this, if my sister upgrades to an iphone what will happen then? (and my mom and I decide to upgrade at a later date)

what if my mom and i decide not to stick with AT&T, what would happen to my sister?

 

is300eater, what stereo bluetooth headphones do you use or recommend i use for my 3GS ?

 

I use the Motorola S9 and it's more than enough... but only because I sweat during workouts... those earmuff type might have a better sound, but those foam just soak up sweat so, I opted not to go with that kind...

 

yea im going for one to work out with, but doesnt your iphone get sweaty being in your pocket?

and great now i dont know what to do with my shuffle.

 

you can make phone calls with it too???

 

not really... during workouts... I sometimes, place the phone on the machine somewhere... on the cardio machines... I take it out too, and place it somewhere.


yup... and it's VERY clear (but what you hear, only comes out of the right side... the person you're talking to is NOT in stereo, not that it matters)

but forget about watching movies with the S9, there's a really bad delay

 

anyone figure out how to use voice control?

I trigger it on accident sometimes (don't know how?) and don't know what to do from then on. Usually its when I'm playing my iPod.

 

man i love how much faster this is!

 

you hold down the home button...or the button on the ear buds until you hear the "ding ding ding" then you let go and say what you want it to do in terms of calling or ipod control.

 

WTF is this only one iphone per household bullshit. I just went to the website to price out. Anybody have the family plan with two iphones?

 

is there any advantage over Gmail web? that's what I've been using and I find it to meet all my expectations and I prefer it over regular email because it retains the threaded email structure.. but is there anything I'm missing on the POP side?

 

but we have three iphones.

 

Accounts can have more than one iPhone, I think their online ordering system is just retarded. I ran into the same problem when we switched to ATT and were trying to get pricing for multiple iPhones as well.

ATT IT FTL

 

i still cant believe my mom got an iphone, and a 32gb at that. we tried to convince her a 8gb would be enough for her if she wanted one, but she wanted the new one. so we tried to convince her on the 16gb, but she was like "i want the best"

 

question, was the original iphone (not sure about 3G) using USB1.1 or something?

i swear transfering songs and syncing is SOOOO much faster, like SIGNIFICANTLY faster.

i just transfered 40 MP3s to my 3GS, it took 38 seconds, transferred the same 40 MP3s to my original iphone and that took 2 minutes 22 seconds


also when i did the first sync of the 3GS that transferred all the settings and apps to the 3GS, the transferring and installing of the many apps i have was quick!

 

So far I have noticed that the battery life on my 3GS is waaaaay better than I was getting on my 3G. I would be lucky to squeeze out two days on my 3G. Three days is not a problem with my 3GS hope it's not a temporary thing.

Booting is a lot quicker and Safari has yet to crash...

 

did you notice the same thing i did about syncing and transferring songs?

 

I never synced my 3G with music. I hardly synced my 3G for that reason since I did app updates through Wi-Fi.

I did sync my 3GS two or three times from the stock IPSW though. I synced it when I first got it, again after I pulled the iBSS and iBEC files, and one last time after I jailbroke it. All three syncs were über fast.

 

i see guess i asked the wrong person.

and now that i have data service, i feel like i have no need to jail break mine.

 

I jailbroke for: sbsettings (swipe for toggles), categories (folders ftw), and flashlight (one-touch auto full brightness).

 

yea i guess SBS settings was pretty handy, just swiping to bring up all the toggles.

 

I just despise webmail on a mobile. If you don't like manual checking, you can have the phone pull your e-mail at a customizable interval. But yea, nothing you probably don't already know.

I prefer the native mail app. I have a couple e-mails link to my phone so i just go into mail and handle it all in one place. I'm hoping Google roles out push mail for us soon. They have to get on the ball with that.

 

So gmail doesn't support push?

I came in here about to ask that.

So for gmail I should use fetch?

 

have you seen gmail web on the iphone? it's not your typical webmail on a cellphone. it does everything i need it to.

 

Have you used the iPhone mail app? Using gmail in safari is just mimicking that.

 

great! I'd rather go to a web page, than create a new internal email account. simpler = better.

 

Yes but you have to goto the webpagd everytime you want to check it, where using the mail app will give you a notification

 

i get enough mail, i dont need to be notified. id rather check it when i feel like it.

 

Then you can set up manual pulls. No notifictions, mail is only checked when you log into your inbox

 

no choice. You have to use Fetch.

There is a jailbreak that makes your phone fetch once a minute, effectively making it a push, unless you get e-mails that you need checked instantly as they come in.

Can't say it will do good things for your battery life though.

 

or, I can use web. I have never felt like I need something more. its fast, and lets me do what I need to do.

thats why I asked if there was something more, if its just notifications, nah, dont need it.

 

just try to help bud

 

and. thanks.

 

Ohh ok, I'll just set it to fetch every hour. I don't get THAT much email.
Also turn off push to save some battery.

Also why was I such a cheapass and not pay the 20bux a month for edge data, so nice being able to go online whenever I want

 

One last thing you can do but probably dont care is the spotlight search searchs thru your email too.
