eh, like 30 seconds. i just wanted to troll.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

You should watch it. Much more in depth then just some text scrolling across the top bar. The camera stuff is sweet too. Has built in editing also.

I think there slogan should be "how do we make our device better? We look at the jailbreak community and do what they are doing."

It actually looks like there are quite a few things I would use on this.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That's fine.

 

[Stink Star]

Eh. I sync my phone maybe every 3 months if I download some illegal music on the computer.

BUT THATS THE POINT.... AS SOON AS YOU DOWNLOAD THE STUFF IT IS INSTANTLY AVAILABLE TO YOUR PHONE AS WELL. ALSO IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE MACS OR IOS DEVICES, NO MATTER WHICH ONE YOU PICK UP THEY WILL ALL CONTAIN THE SAME CONTENT AND BE IN THE SAME STATE IN EACH APP

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Alright there Steve jobs.

a notification bar?! get the fuck out of here!

and tabbed browsing! revolutionary. ground breaking. amazing.

 

[bikrboy128]

i hear the line outside the apple store is already forming.

I bought mine a couple weeks ago and love it! It's by far the best phone I've had yet. I agree though with the text alert. It kind of kills privacy since the whole message pops up on the screen.

You can change the setting so the message does not display only the name.

I think I may have now fixed it based on your information. There was a setting for 'show preview' and I turned that off. So now maybe it won't show any of the message.

The notification bar looks almost verbatim to a jailbreak app that you pay to DL to show exactly what that shows. IIRC it came out that someone from the JB community went over to Apple not too long ago, so I wouldnt be suprised. Here is an example of a JB app that does it.

If the Android thread can go to 20+ pages, its all good.



I had something different then bitesms, but it was pretty much the same thing. That is one thing that I want to see in the future. Instead of being able to click close or reply, which sends you to the text app, you click reply and a little box and keyboard appears. Reply to text. Press send, and the text box disappears leaving whatever you were doing on screen.

Im telling you. Apple is going to make Jailbreak obsolete eventually, which is fine with me.

You're correct about a jb dev going to Apple. Apple ended up hiring him to actually make the notification bar similar to what it is from Cydia. So that's why it looks very familiar.

I have the ip4 and love it. Especially with PDAnet (hot spot with out paying that additional data plan), and I already use quickreply for my sms needs. Then I have a few themes here and there that I like to use or try. But slowly but surely, it's starting to become less and less enticing to JB since Apple is taking the hints from what people want in the JB community.

I'm looking forward to ios5

Now to hear about the mythical new iphone that they pushed back to fall. Thus fucking up my 2 year plan.

 

[Stink Star]

i dont know how the hell it happens, but ive been eligible for upgrade every time a new iphone came out... like i had the ip4 the day it came out and im already eligible for upgrade on the 18th of this month

 

[wombat]

iPhones are given quicker upgrades because they want to keep having the people buy the new ones. iPhone upgrades are usually anywhere from, i've seen as early as 8 months, to 18 months.

What about software unlocks?

 

[Fish]

What about software unlocks?

Let me rephrase then.

I will not need to jailbreak if Apple keeps the updates flowing. All I do is themes, change some sounds, I used to have lockinfo until it started messing with my phone. Now Apple is having it standard. Then replying to sms texts without switching to the message app will come in a year or two.

Little things pretty much is all I am griping about.

iPhone price cuts hitting Radio Shack, Target tomorrow?

iPhone price cuts hitting Radio Shack, Target tomorrow?
Let the speculation begin! It may not be a sign of an iPhone refresh, but we've received multiple tips today about an imminent price drop for Apple's flagship smartphone. According to a pair of trusty tipsters, Radio Shack is prepping to cut the cost of AT&T's 16GB iPhone 4 to $169.99, with a two-year contract, from $199.99. The 32GB version will likewise take a $30 plunge at the Shack, ringing in at $269.99, and the price of the 8GB 3GS will drop to $19.99. Phone Arena is likewise reporting on Target slicing up the old Apple price tag, but lists varying numbers based on carrier. If all this talk turns out to be true, those prices should be ripe for the picking starting tomorrow.

Why dont they just say we are trying to liquidate so we can release new phone in a month?

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

i have a cracked 4 32G , prolly gonna roll it cracked until the 5 comes out

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Changing out a screen on the 4 is ridiculous. The 3 and 3GS are simple.

 

[Fish]

I switched over to Verizon to save money, but had to take a shitty phone for the time being. No iphone sucks.

Also, whoever said the BB Storm is an "iPhone competitor" needs to be punched directly in the cockhole and or cunthole. This phone is leagues, countries, planets, galaxies, existences below iPhone caliber.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Why didn't you just get the Verizon iPhone?

 

[importcrew]

They're also discontinuing the 3gs if I'm not mistaken. And yes...the 5 will be coming out in September. Also, ATT is going to start throttling the "unlimited data plan users" when they reach a certain amount of data for the month. (The top 5%). (*I believe they'll throttle it down to 256kbps once they reach the top 5% and then it'll go back to normal when the new billing cycle starts*)

It's not too bad. Took me about 25 minutes total.

Yeah even if BB put out a phone with amazing specs any Apple/Android phone will blow it out of the water.

What kind of phone you go with though out of curiosity?

I noticed the other day that Verizon is putting out that Sony phone and couldn't help but think of the thread you made about it.
