I drank the koolaid.....
« on: December 03, 2009, 09:16:58 PM »
My curve died today (6th one in as many months) and i went skitzo on AT&T. Long story short im a proud new iPhone 3G owner. $100 out the door for the phone, car charger, otterbox, full 2 year applecare protection, BT headset, and the usual stuff.

two questions

1) its an 8GB, so why does Win7 show it was like 6.5GB?

2) how in the hell can i increase the earpiece volume? like when im on the phone its hard to head, and i dont see the option to increase it

ok lets go for three.....

free app suggestions?
hey ethic if you and i were both courting lily allen..... oh wait, which one of us has a relationship that lasted more than the bus ride home?

You're safe with anything from the app store.  If you JB - good luck, make sure you change the root password.  It's not worth the trouble as far as I'm concerned - friend did it though and likes the additional apps.

Don't think you can do custom for text messages.

the app store is pissing me off. im not giving it a CC and i cant even get free apps until i do.

as for JB apple checks for it if you claim any type of warranty and since i paid for a 2yr protection plan it would be a mistake,

ugh on sms, that is really annoying. on another note...

do this work for anyone? I don't see any such option under network...

App Store FTW.  And there are at least 3 threads on here for app suggestions.  There is a good one under the games board.

Mine is JB, its kinda nice being able to do stuff like create custom icons, themes, delete default apps, etc.  Nothing that is absolutely necessary, just nice.  For example creating folders to store your apps in, using your iphone as a camera or hot spot, playing nintendo or other console emulators...
