The virtual online appstore, not the physical apple store.

Although to be honest Im not 100% sure it will download your apps again, but fingers crossed eh.

It should remember them all, although it takes a while to get them all back on your phone.

I lost over £30's worth of apps when my iPhone bombed out, on account of Apple's fucking annoying insistence of me having two iTunes accounts (US/UK) just to get review apps.
 
Yeah I just dida bit of research on this. So you have to remember allthe apps you had and then manually find them in the app store and then press buy and it will tell you you already bought it and can download it again for free? Wow thats a large pain in the bum if you have a lot of apps.

Yay. Looks like its working. Baby swapped interest to the pen & paper I was using to write down the apps off MrD's phone, which made things a lot, lot easier too. :cool:

Have realised I'm gonna have to start Angry Birds from scratch *holds back tears*

Thank you very much.
& everyone else that helped ;)

Err, I beg to differ, at some point I am getting a case to fix the problem. They hired some rf engineers around the same time.

I don't expect it, but Apple have surprised us in the past like this.

I'm not saying there is not going to be another refresh of the iphone lineup! I cant see them producing essentially the same phone with a different aerial.

it was inside an Otterbox Defender case at all times...the most macho and ugly case on the market...
I'm taking it to a genius on saturday, we'll see what they say

Good to know I'm not the only one using the otterbox defender as a daily case. I love it, particularly when Apple design purist go ape shit when they see it - plus I like having the option of dropping/throwing my phone should the need arise.:D:

I just get this sneaking suspicion that they will start supplying them with a coating on the band....

The iTunes will give you a list if you care to look. Click Store->View My Account->Show Purchases and it will show you a list of everything you have downloaded ever in a paged format.

Surely the visual voice mail makes it a lot easier to use so its not so much of an issue?

Firstly, I'm not familiar with that feature but more importantly I don't want it. I used to miss lots of calls while rummagibng around in my bag for my phone, until I turned it off and people let it ring for longer so that I can get to it.
 
I suggest that you explore the feature as it makes it very easy to use.

Plus, you can ring your operator and get them to increase the time that it takes before it switches over to the voice mail. I've got it set to the max of 30 seconds.

How are the otterboxes? Im very tempted to get one as im clumsy as hell.....

do you get bubbles between the screen and the protector? Thats the one thing i hate :mad:
 
I am getting the Otter things for us month end. They are pretty cheap on Amazon, about £7.50 each delivered.

Not read bad things
 
otterbox defender cases are around 40 quid or something..the ones on amazon will be another model i guess

there are no bubbles between screen and protector...I like the case very much, I just wish my iphone hadn't got cracked inside it

hey maldwyn..yes it is fun when people see you have reduced the sleek ip4 into a boxy ugly lump 'o plastic..to be honest that is why I like it - feel less conspicuous when using it in public

you phone got cracked inside it meaning the protection isnt up to much, or you cracked it before you put it in the otterbox?
 
it got cracked inside the case..as detailed in my post above

I blame the design of ip4 more than the case though...there's only so much protection you can put in front of a glass computer screen before it becomes unusable

if anyone can point me to a more ugly and more protective case I'm all ears...
 
Well the iPhone genius decided my phone should not have cracked like that so he swapped it for a new one... Yay for applecare

For a whole two hours I kept it in a sleek bumper... But now its back in the fugly Otterbox....
 
I can't be doing with cases. It looks shit in one, my Griffin Motif for iPhone 4, free courtesy of Apple arrive this morning and its naff.

Solves a problem I don't have. Into the drawer to be forgotten. I use Power Support Crystal Film things, 28 quid but very invisible.
 
It's the edges you want to be careful with. If it gets an impact on one of the edges, that's much more likely to break something than if it hits more flatly, because the pressure is higher. (Screen scratches being a separate issue.) All you really need IMO is something that buffers the sides of the phone, and really, the most important parts there are the corners.
 
I think the ip4 has an inherently weak design - those glass edges are vulnerable..my original iphone seems much tougher

am still happy with the phone..did my first video upload to twitter yesterday and can really see myself doing a lot of wifi uploading of videos when filming a tv series next year

I think it is noticeably faster with the new processor

Its not designed for ruggedness, its designed for looks. They rarely co-exist.

Check out rugged mobiles http://www.mphone.co.uk/rugged_tough_phone.html people like builders use. I don't think any of those is going to win best looking phone.

I used one side by side with my 3GS recently, have to say the speed increase wasn't that apparent. Good looking screen though and better battery life would be very nice.

Looks like Mr Jobs (if it was him) was in a veh bad mood last night.

I'm torn on that, on the one hand the student clearly was lacking any investigative ability (everything the PR team will tell you is already on the web somewhere). While on the other hand the PR team at apple aren't particularly helpful and Jobs can be an arse.

Some student wants answers from Apple for nothing other than personal gain. I think you'd need to be more than a nobody to get answer from the Apple PR team who I expect get enough shit from the major newspapers and media outfits from all around the world.
 
My flatmate, who works across the road from the Covent Garden Apple shop, was wondering why there are 500 Indian and Arab people queued up out side the shop every morning.

It appears that all the contract free iPhones 4's in the shops are being sold to the rest of the world where they are sold for 400 quid more than the list price.

Mate tried to buy one and was threatened and had to really stand his ground yesterday morning and still didn't get one. 70 quid for each phone.
