that sounds legal

 

Well the act of jailbreaking is already illegal
why would I pay for something that is illegal??

 

Sooooooo.. What's the source.

 

Im with :thief:

 

Installous

Don't jailbreak if you don't want to. Just stay with your iBoring if you want

 

wtf?

 

 

y'all need to do some educatin' 'n stuff.

also, no more talk of pirated warez. thx.

 

can't believe people thought Steve Balmer was going to present at WWDC

 

even a JB iphone is boring, still just a grid app launcher.

 

I'm so hurt, I think I'm gonna jump ship and get a Droid Incredible now because Verizon is so awesome

 

 

I've had a few people looking at my phone when fiddling with it, so far no one asked.

 

That was a stupid way to respond. I'm not intending to hurt anyone. I had an iphone for almost two years and they are great. But once you realize the customization available with other OSes you can't really deny that the iphone is extremely boring. Page after page of rows and columns of apps.

 

Its a phone and data device...I honestly could give two craps about all the customizations. So as long as it does what it was designed to do.

 

 

Lack of customization is one of the biggest complaints about the OS and you know it. All these other phones do what they are designed to do too, but do it in a customizable way.

I didn't make the post be a troll - again, I think the iphone is great device. It's just really boring to use after a while and jailbreaking doesn't really make it much better.

 

I want my hands on Froyo

edit: but its the fact that I can have my phone unlocked and I dont need a contract to hold me in paying all that money for phone service. I'm only 19 and in college I really dont need to be dishing out 30 dollars (or however much it is) a month to have 3G

So for me customization matters a little more.

 

edit: repeated myself lol

 

I wasn't hurt your post made me chuckle. I was trying to make a joke too. I don't really care about my iPhone, err.... I do take care of it of course. But svtmike put it best, "[my iPhone] is an eminently replaceable mass production inanimate object that doesn't give a fuck about [me]" and in 2-3 years once I've moved on to whatever, I probably won't give a fuck about it either

I've used the Eris and the Incredible a few times and a couple of times, respectively. They're both great phones, and IMO the Incredible even moreso, but it is newer after all. Much faster than the 3GS, even, and definitely some added functionality.

My point is, the 3GS is basically a year-old (well, at its core its essentially coming up on 3 years) device and up until recently there wasn't a device (Incredible) that was very similar to it, and notably better at everything, IMO. Even then, I'm not going to shell out the money for a new phone, and I'm perfectly happy with what I got now. If I did upgrade to anything but an Apple product (anyone here and in real life can tell you I have little interest in Apple stuff, except for iPods) it would be a significant downgrade because a good 20-40% of the use would be gone, kinda.

Pages and pages, yes, but all available at the swipe of a finger. It's a moot point anyways though... changing scenes or looking for a widget doesn't take that long at all. But I've always been function > form kind of guy so it doesn't impress me.

The 4G interests me, but no way near enough to actually think about getting one. Even if it was the same price as the Incredible, as fast or faster, same features or even more.

 

To kinda clarify the first part of my post.... everyone chooses their devices, almost always for good reasons. They choose it because it fits their purpose for it, and if someone absolutely hates the iPhone, thinks its the most overrated piece of garbage out there. And they may have a point if all they do is make calls and text, or whatever.

I don't get insulted easily, especially through the internet. No reason to. To get butthurt at all because someone said something about the iPhone is stupid, and what does annoy me is stupidity. Not saying that's you at all since I already knew before your post that you had an iPhone, but you and many others have your reasons.

 

My point was simply that jailbreaking doesn't really make the iphone less boring. More functional, absolutely, but not less boring. That's it. Didn't know it would start a whole string of posts.

 

It's an opinion. I believe the opposite.

 

so last few days I've turned off 3G and pretty happy with the performance. thanks, AT&T!

 

Meh, I have to turn off 3G in the cave i work in to get data. But I turn it back on when I go on break and sit next to the only window is the place.

 

due to poor 3G coverage in Denver, I'm on Edge 90% of the time. I go through cycles of having 3G on, but it's a much better experience with it off.

with it on, I seem to miss more calls, drop more calls, have delayed voicemails and SMS.

oh and not to mention much better battery life.

 

How are your battery lifes with 3G on? Just curious, I dont have the option of 3G since I'm with tmobile soo I'm just on edge.

 

just to share my theme with mizouse




eh... photobucket resizes images

 

I'm on Edge 95% of the time. The only times I switch to 3G are to listen to Pandora, use Safari without Wi-Fi, or use apps that require data loading.

I also have location services turned off most of the time, turn them on to use TomTom or the Maps app.


My phone can last a solid two days on one charge, usually longer, but it does get a charge from the in-car audio hook-up while I listen to Pandora when driving. When I didn't have the adapter to charge my phone during playback, I'd be lucky to get more than a day of usage on a full charge.

Not HD resolution at all so if it would be called that.

 

"high definition" can also be a broad term meaning higher resolution..

 

duh, I told you that a few weeks ago. even that it was an IPS screen.

 

I thought it sounded like old news...

 

so is that just a wb theme or the actual 4.0 beta?

and yes, you changed the carrier to verizon.

 

i know, just posting what was "new" news about it.






ill leave then

 

its just a wb theme...

 

June 2010 is here... will it be less than 30 days before I get my sweaty palms on the new iPhone?

 

Ehhh wait until next week then ask that question.


They need to announce the damn thing first.

 

I'm sure it will be the most magical and revolutionary device ever invented.
