iPhone !! please explain

So i've had this iphone for five days now and I like it but it's still no better than my Samsung. All that's been brainwashed into peoples brains but i'll stick with it for now, plus i've found out how to download music from my PC to it without having to buy through itunes, so result

 

You want to jail break it then you get everything for free woody , got a £60 sat nav etc

 

Thing is as well woody the other phone manufacturers have caught up , 5 years ago the iPhones were well in front.

 

Give him a few weeks and he'll love it

 

Typing fast on a touch screen is a right pain, so iPhones are a waste of time for me. I need simple functionality - phone, e-mail and SMS - not apps, games and music.

 

How fast and do you look like a dick while you're doing it (especially on the quiet coach on East Coast, or on the tube, or in a cafe .......).

 

Here in deepest darkest Yorkshire we find there's Nowt wrong wi this bean can as long as you pull the string tight enough or on the odd occasion you need to speak to anyone outside the village just use the carrier pigeon ....

 

this ^^^ for me too , i think technology should make things easier and cheaper this is not the case now and these phones are made to extract your money from your wallet , especially when you just drop them and they update them every week or so . and they encourage theft i fear. just my opinion thou

 

just lazy you kids i duno

 

Instead of the making the phone ring, do you just shout "Now then!" down the string?

 

Usually 'ey up'

 

Dead rate

 

Tha's bloody reet!

 

oh that was you was it would it understand me

 

i said years n years ago we should have voice recognition but it was the northerners they couldnt get right

 

I'm very impressed ladies and gents. Usually an iPhone conversation on the internet will feature rabid fanboys and people getting ridiculously upset and insulting about what phone someone happens to buy and/or prefer. Everyone's mostly done very well keeping things sensible.

Me? I'm a tech whore. iPhones ever since I got rid of my Nokia N95 in 2009. A Macbook in the office which replaced a succession of PCs back in November and an Asus (Android) tablet lurking somewhere in the house. All have their pluses and minuses and I've yet to experience a "perfect" bit of kit (the Macbook is close, but not quite). I would say that I've found the Android tab and my Mum's budget Android phone very crashy however and it's those experiences have stopped me getting an Android phone for myself. I was very tempted by Google's latest one. Oh also the Macbook links to my iPhone so I can text via my computer, which in my job is something I've come to rely on.

 

Funny you should mention that, because it's always worth looking out for apps on this very subject. I have a Windows Phone which doesn't link to my Macbook or my iPad, but what I do have is an app from O2 which is rather clever. Using the WIFI connection on my iPad, I can not only text using this app, but also make and receive phone calls - ideal for someone like me who is (a) forever forgetting his phone (b) when I do have it, it's never got any ruddy charge in the battery and (c) my office is a bit of a mobile signal black spot. Any calls/texts I make come off my standard mobile tariff. So I can leave my phone at home and as long as I stay in the WIFI footprint at work with my iPad, it doesn't matter. Also because it doesn't discriminate between WIFI in the UK and WIFI elsewhere, it has completely destroyed roaming charges. I was in Florida in the summer making calls on the iPad over the hotel WIFI and it treated me as if I was still in the UK - no international call charges.
