He should not be let loose on a tech site like that. Worst article I have ever seen!

I could have had a white phone ages ago and I expect that you'd not be able tell the difference. Just need to rip the phone apart and buy the right bits.

I actually would like a red or purple one and this may well happen post guarantee.

Some guy bought the white component paint which and was doing custom white phones ages ago. If I recall Apple (unsurprisingly) didn't like it.

Personally I'd like a silver brushed aluminium look. White is a bit toy-like no?

Yep I've never liked the white iPhone, and agree a brushed metal one would probably look the nicest (and fit design wise with the iMac, iPad look)...

Any opinions on the Samsung Galaxy Ace versus HTC Desire - both on offer on Virgin..

Also how much mobile web does one get through in a month - would 500 MB be enough assuming one is only using for "social networking" purposes, and not downloading loads of movies/music.

Those are not iphones

 

[Hollis]

I give up! What the hell are they then?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Android phones.

 

[Hollis]

What's that mean?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

What's that mean?

The software that runs the phone is made by Google, it's called Android...

 

[Hollis]

Okay - thanks I now understand the difference between iphones, android phones and 'smartphones' and will fuck off.

Heh no probs, happy phone hunting.

 

[Hollis]

yeah - I feel 10 years younger all ready..

There ain't 'alf a lot of iPhone adverts appearing on TV at the moment. Maybe they're feeling the heat from the competition?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

There are? Haven't really noticed a rise tbh, I have noticed that the iPad seems to be advertised in every single bloody break though!

"If you don't have an iPhone, well, you don't have an iPhone"

Fuck off. I know I don't have one. I don't want one you smug bastard.

Fuck off. I know I don't have one. I don't want one you smug bastard.

I thought that when i saw the advert and i do have an iPhone!

iOS 4.3.3 is available through iTunes in case anyone missed the news stories

Contains the "LocationGate" fixes.

 

[editor]

In case you've ever wondered, here's what goes into iTunes ludicrously long 56 page terms and conditions that you say 'yes' to:

Which second hand iphone should I buy. Looking for the cheapest not shit option.

Which second hand iphone should I buy. Looking for the cheapest not shit option.

3GS is the "not shit" model. 3G doesn't get some modern iOS features and won't run some apps due to its lack of power.

 

[fractionMan]

hmm. look about 240 average price second hand on ebay.

I think I can sell my HTC desire for 160 quid.

(the iphone just plays louder!)

That sure seems a hell of a lot to pay for a second hand phone with a design that's nearly two years old.

 

[fractionMan]

I'm amazed how much my desire is worth too tbh.

I just want a phone that can run apps with a LOUD headphone output (and the possiblity of line level via an adaptor). Like the iPhone.

I'm pretty sure you just have a defective unit as my Desire is plenty loud. Either way I'm sure there's plenty of new handsets with LOUD outputs - if you buy secondhand you're fucked if the thing goes wrong three months in.

 

[fractionMan]

No, my HTC is plenty loud too when compared to other phones and mp3 players.

But the iPhone is louder when played through a lepai tripath TA2020 amplifier, which is what's important to me right now.

The thing is, all I can go on is what I've seen (well heard), and so far the iPhone is the only thing louder than the HTC I've heard.

Edit: it seems mad changing an expensive phone for the sake of a dirt cheap amp.

 

[fractionMan]

It may be a dirt cheap amp but it has the highest efficiency and one of the best sound qualities of all amps on the market.

It's about getting the most noise for the longest duration at the best quality out of 10AA batteries in an easily portable box.
