Has anyone else updated? I'm pretty happy with it so far. I can't speak for stability/slowdown issues as they were always fairly intermittent anyway but my 3G has improved great guns. Speed seems much the same but the phone is now much more likely to use 3G than before

Thumbs up! Now here's hoping for 2.1 to be pwned soon and i'll make the leap into some decent apps/games

All ready pwned bud. Enjoy :)

No Mac for me :(

I'm giving this a pass on my iPod Touch. I don't think they've done much for this hardware, mainly just the iPhone.

2.1 update is "supposed" to fix the App for iPhone/iPod touch from crashing and for the iPhone give 25% more battery life, well that's what is supposed to happen

i couldnt find a vgcats comic that adequately communicated my views on this matter so click here instead http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone woot!!!

All ready pwned bud. Enjoy :)

no windows version yet?

What network are you on? I've never seen my iPhone go to EDGE but i spose I'm on Next-G...

The windoze version is coming very soon. Give it a day or so.

Optus unfortunately, I think it's fairly clear now that Telstra definitely has the more extensive network.

Optus however was by far the better value proposition (due to bundling with my cable internet allowing me to ditch the landline)

Yeah I assumed QuickPwn for Win32 was on it's way,

Is the SMS/Email lag fixed yet?

Have they fixed the bug where Steve Jobs is in control over what you can and can't install on it yet?

Nope that bug's still there.

Is the SMS/Email lag fixed yet?

Yup

Yep, it's called QuickPwn (ZING). Also it now has an app that searches everything (email, sms, web, etc) called Searcher.

Trog may have been talking about the deeper code that allows Apple to remove any unwanted app / code they see fit. Its known as the Apple "kill switch"

I don’t really have a problem with them doing this. I'd rather porn s*** or malicious software be kept away from the platform anyway. Apple hasn’t stopped any of the current 3rd party apps yep, so they seem to be reasonable enough about it.

Apple have stopped plenty of 3rd party apps by removing them from the App store or not allowing them to put up in the first place.

Holy crap Jim. That has wide implications. I hope they get sued when it comes to anti competive s***e like that.

I love my iPhone and feel sorry for you guys on the anti-apple bandwagon. I rode it for many years too and now regret it. Putting up with clunky s***ty interfaces, hoping I can snap a photo without an out of memory error, praying my windows phone will wake up enough for me to answer an important call.. All now a thing of that past. You can continue to rail against the man if you want, it's your choice.

who you talking to natslovR ?

The iPhone haters that appear in every iPhone related thread.

Omfg it's a closed platform... Quick let's um... Not buy an iPhone and not post in iPhone threads.

thanks for feeling sorry for us

conversely, I feel sorry for you - but not just to return the favour - I feel sorry for you because you must really suck at stuff if that was your phone experience prior to getting an iphone. I also feel sorry for you because you choose to perceive the expression of very real negative issues and their impact on users, as a mere anti-apple bandwagon.

I've got an iphone too and while many of it's features and interface are totally awesome and innovative, I can't blindly ignore the complete and utter bulls*** that goes with it.

Lol.

You have a very distinct aura around you: +5 to Douchebaggery.

How about instead of whinging about iPhone haters you umm .. not reply to them.

Not to make natslovr feel better, but if you haven't owned a phone running windows mobile, you've never really had a truly bittersweet relationship with your phone.

I've owned several Nokias that were great as phones, and one Sony Ericsson that's a fairly laggy over-interfaced turd, but it's my windows mobile phone that really promised me so much and then just continually failed to respond in any reasonable amount of time to my commands. I really want to believe that it's doing something important when I press a key and I have to wait for the interface to respond, but after moving through the 5 stages, I've finally accepted that my phone and I cannot be together.

Even in death, it continues to taunt me, and yet I know that the randomly failing backlight will cut out at some inopportune moment, like it does again and again, and I will ditch it in frustration and go back to my trusty old Nokia SimplePhone.

sms app is alot faster.. thats all i've noticed

Agreed. When Apple do something they make it worth doing, but then they bring along some things that are sometimes just rediculous and anti-competitive. They're a very 'tight-ass' company if you can call it.

That being said, after switching to Leopard, and putting Vista back on via Boot Camp on my Mac mini to run Spore properly (Cider port + Intel onboard video ftl), Windows just seems sorta.. mediocre, unpolished and like that guy said; 'DLL hell'. Like in that YT video, they spent 6 years making one half-dodgy new OS when Mac OS had it already and just kept improving and improving on it until Leopard. Snow Leopard isn't going to have much in the way of new features, which seems like a strange move, but then you read that Apple is basically spending all its time on improving the OS fundamentally, such as resource usage, multi-threading etc.

And while my experience on Leopard with my new mac hasn't been bug free (well, more like hasn't been 100.0% bug free) and sometimes I have trouble finding equivalent Windows apps, Mac OS just feels way more polished and smooth. Things just work better. For example, Mac had native image mounting support years and years ago so why doesn't even Vista have native image support? I suppose the primary delivery method for software is ZIPs/EXEs (maybe because of this?) but still. It takes custom image drivers and an always-on drive (bloat) in My Computer to mount ISOs.

yeh it's hilariously stupid that windows still can't mount an iso file on it's own
