When will we see details about the iphone 4?

Anyone hear about when they are releasing more information about the iphone 4? Plans, pre-orders etc.

"iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order to Verizon Wireless customers only, on a “first come, first serve” basis via VerizonWireless.com, on or around February 3rd 2011 – details to be confirmed a week prior by Verizon Wireless. New and existing customers can purchase in select channels on February 10th 2011."
Funny they say ON OR AROUND wonder if it will be before

    iPhone 3G has received its last iOS update. If wallpapers behind the homescreen icons is such an important feature for you, you'll need a newer model iPhone.

  • When will Apple support MAP on the iPhone iO6?

    When will Apple support MAP on the iPhone iO6?

    Guess I could have been clearer.  What I am referring to is MAP-compatable (Message Access Profile) phone pairing for text messaging in newer vehicles.  Apple does not support this service, would make driving safer if they did. 

  • When will wifiTunes be available for the iPhone?

    Anyone know?

    Nope - coming soon is all anyone knows but this is expected to be available by the end of this month.

  • I had to erase my hard drive and now when I try to sync the I phone or Ipad it says I will loose my data on the iphone or ipad .  how can I sync the phone or I pad without loosing my music ?

    I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard.  when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now.  The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive.  Can anyone help?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • Is there any possibility to see full details about the event?

    ipad calendar:I have no chance to read the event location fully on my ipad. It is cut and finishes with "...", thus very important meeting  number cannot be seen. Is there any possibility to see full details about the event?

    Thanks for quick reply.
    Looks like opened the event. Here is a screen shot, I marked the cut numbers with red cirsles.

  • You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi

    You'll see the same complaints about the iPhone WiFi as we're seeing against the iPad WiFi.

    There are tons of complaints about the WiFi interface on the iPhone, with errors and problems similar to what you're seeing on the iPad.

    As a retired network device driver writer, I realize that the same device driver is probably running on both platforms. So more than likely, you'll see the same bugs on both platforms. Unless we're dealing with a hardware issue.
    I would guess that the iPhone/iPad losing it's WiFi password issue is a software bug.

  • Could you pls give the details about the Unicode conversion during Upgrade

    Hi,
    Can anyone give details about the Unicode conversion during SAP Upgradation fro 4.6C to ECC6.
    Waiting for quick response
    Best Regards,
    Padhy

    Hi,
    These are the few points i gathered during my upgradation project.
    Before starting any upgradation project, it is necessary to take up the back-up of the existing systems. As we are going to upgrade the entire system, we will be changing so many things and if something happens, without back-up, we will be in a trouble.
    So it is advised to keep a back-up of the existing system.
    Say for example we have the existing system E4B which is of Version 4.6C. Now we want to upgrade it to Version 4.7. Let us see how we can do it.
    Version upgrades not only means that we need to run the new Version CD over the existing Version System but only involves some other thing.
    Version Upgrade involves the following Steps.
    Say we want to upgrade for Version 4.7 from Version 4.6, which is in the System E4B. Now we created one more system called as E1B in which the upgradation for Version 4.7 can be done.
    • First copy the entire E4B system into the E1B System which is created for Version 4.7.
    • Apply the Version 4.7 CD provided by SAP over the E1B System.
    • Now check whether all the functionalities that was in E4B system works fine with E1B system also.
    Thus the Version Upgrade involves two steps.
    1. SAP Upgradation with the help of the CD
    2. Manual Upgradation.
    1. SAP Upgradation with the help of the CD
    This is nothing but after taking the copy of the existing system into a new system, the upgradation CD from SAP is applied over the new system.
    2. Manual Upgradation.
    This Manual Upgradation involves
    2.1 Upgradation of Standard Objects
    2.1.1 SPAU Objects
    2.1.2 SPDD Objects
    2.2 Upgradation of Custom Objects.
    Upgradation of Custom Objects can be placed under the following three categories.
    Unicode Compliance
    Retrofit
    Upgrade
    Please Find below some of the common Unicode Errors and their solutions
    1. Error:
    In case of Translate Error; ‘Dangerous use of Translate in Multilingual system.’
    Correction:
    To correct the Error occurring on TRANSLATE statement – use this additional statement before the Translate statement.
    SET LOCALE LANGUAGE sy-langu.
    This statement defines the Text Environment of all the programs & internal sessions in the language specified in the LANGUAGE KEY, which in this case is “sy-langu”, i.e. the log on language of the user.
    2. Error:
    In case of Open Dataset Error; ‘Encoding Addition must be included.’
    Correction:
    This Error occurs only when the MODE is TEXT.
    To correct the Error occurring on OPEN DATASET statement – use this statement instead.
    OPEN DATASET dataset_name FOR access IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    Where: dataset_name – NAME OF THE DATASET.
    Access – INPUT or OUTPUT or APPENDING or UPDATE.
    DEFAULT - Corresponds to UTF-8 in UNICODE systems &
    NON_UNICODE in NON-UNICODE systems.
    3. Error:
    In case of the usage of the Obsolete FM UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD; ‘Function module UPLOAD is flagged as obsolete.’
    Correction:
    The FM GUI_DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD is used.
    The variations to be made in the parameters of the FM:
    1. Filename – It must be of STRING type.
    2. Filetype – “DAT” is not used any longer, instead “ASC” is used.
    3. Field Separator – The default value “SPACE” is used, incase for a TAB separated file “X” can be used.
    4. Error:
    In case of CURRENCY/UNIT Addition Error; ‘Use addition CURRENCY/UNIT when outputting.’
    Correction:
    The CURRENCY addition specifies the currency-dependant decimal places for the output of the data objects of type i or p. To obtain the currency-key, the field CURRKEY of the table TCURX is used. The system determines the number of the decimal places from the field CURRDEC of the selected CURRKEY.
    To correct this error follow the following method:
    WRITE: /3 'TOTAL',' ', TOTAL.
    WRITE: /3 ‘TOTAL’,’ ‘, TOTAL CURRENCY ‘2’. --- Where ‘2’is the Currency Key for Getting 2 decimal places.
    5. Error:
    In case of TYPE X Error; ‘Variable must be of C, N, D, T or STRING type.’
    Correction:
    We need to change all the Type X (Hexadecimal) variables to Type C with their values unchanged.
    So the method to be followed is:-
    1. Load the definition of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE or CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.
    2. Declare the variable as Type C, and use the method UCCP(‘XXXX’) of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE where XXXX represents the 8-bit Hexadecimal value and incase the variable holds a Hex value for a Horizontal Tab , then the Attribute “HORIZONTAL_TAB” of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES can be used directly instead of using the method UCCP.
    E.g.:
    i) *DATA: TAB TYPE X VALUE 09, “Tab character
    CLASS: CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES DEFINITION LOAD.
    DATA TAB TYPE C VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
    ii) * DATA: CHAR TYPE X VALUE 160.
    CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.
    DATA CHAR TYPE C.
    CHAR = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP(‘00AO’).
    (Here ‘00A0’ is the Hexadecimal equivalent of the decimal 160).
    3. Incase the TYPE X Variable has a length more than 1, then an internal table must be created for the variable.
    E.g.:
    CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.
    DATA : LF(2) TYPE X VALUE 'F5CD'.
    DATA : BEGIN OF LF,
    A1 TYPE C,
    A2 TYPE C,
    END OF LF.
    LF-A1 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00F5').
    LF-A2 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00CD').
    6. Error:
    In case of the Character “-“Error; ‘The Character “-“can’t appear in names in Unicode Programs.’
    Correction:
    The Character “-“(Hyphen) appearing in Variable names is replaced by the character “_” (Under Score) for Unicode/Upgrade Compliance.
    E.g.:
    *wk-belnr LIKE bkpf-belnr,
    *wk-xblnr LIKE bkpf-xblnr,
    *wk-date LIKE sy-datum,
    *wk-wrbtr LIKE bseg-wrbtr,
    *wk-name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
    *wk-voucher(8) TYPE c.
    wk_belnr LIKE bkpf-belnr,
    wk_xblnr LIKE bkpf-xblnr,
    wk_date LIKE sy-datum,
    wk_wrbtr LIKE bseg-wrbtr,
    wk_name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
    wk_voucher(8) TYPE c.
    7. Error:
    In case of The SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL Error; ‘you should not use the statement SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL without the WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO addition. ‘
    Correction:
    1. Declare variables of type PRI_PARAMS, ARC_PARAMS, and a variable of TYPE C which would be used as a VALID FLAG.
    2. Call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS:
    CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
    ARCHIVE_MODE = '3'
    DESTINATION = P_DEST
    IMMEDIATELY = 'X'
    IMPORTING
    OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = archive_parameters
    OUT_PARAMETERS = print_parameters
    VALID = valid_flag
    EXCEPTIONS
    INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2
    OTHERS = 4
    3. Use the SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL statement.
    E.g.:
    •     submit zrppt500
    •     using selection-set 'AUTO3'
    •     with res_no eq lo_rsnum
    •     with sreserv in preserv
    •     to sap-spool destination p_dest
    •     immediately 'X'. "print immediate
    DATA: print_parameters type pri_params,
    archive_parameters type arc_params,
    valid_flag(1) type c.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
    ARCHIVE_MODE = '3'
    DESTINATION = P_DEST
    IMMEDIATELY = 'X'
    IMPORTING
    OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = archive_parameters
    OUT_PARAMETERS = print_parameters
    VALID = valid_flag
    EXCEPTIONS
    INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2
    OTHERS = 4
    Submit zrppt500
    Using selection-set 'AUTO3'
    With res_no eq lo_rsnum
    with sreserv in preserv
    to sap-spool
    SPOOL PARAMETERS PRINT_PARAMETERS
    ARCHIVE PARAMETERS ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS
    WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.
    8. Error:
    In case of Message Error; ‘Number of WITH fields and number of Place Holders are not same ‘.
    Correction:
    Split the statement after WITH into the same number as the place holder for that Message ID.
    E.g.:
    1. * MESSAGE E045.
    MESSAGE E045 WITH '' ''.
    2. in program ZIPI0801
    •     Start of change for ECC6
    •     message e398(00) with 'Could not find access sequence'
    •     'for condition type:'
    •     p_ptype.
    message e398(00) with 'Could not find '
    'access sequence'
    'for condition type:'
    p_ptype.
    •     End of change made for ECC6
    9. Error:
    In case of Move between 2 different Structures; ‘The structures are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program.’
    Correction:
    Make both the Data Types compatible and then assign the contents.
    E.g.:
    The statement –“move retainage_text to temp_text.” Gives an error, where RETAINAGE_TEXT is an internal table and TEMP_TEXT is a string of length 200.
    A Feasible solution for this is to specify from which position to which position of the string, the fields of RETAINAGE_TEXT should be assigned.
    TEMP_TEXT+0(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DQ1.
    TEMP_TEXT+1(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-HEX.
    TEMP_TEXT+2(20) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-FILLER1.
    TEMP_TEXT+22(15) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-AMT_DUE.
    TEMP_TEXT+37(8) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-TEXT.
    TEMP_TEXT+45(10) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DUE_DATE.
    TEMP_TEXT+55(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DQ2.
    10. Error:
    In case of ‘no description found’; ‘add a GUI title’.
    Correction:
    In this type of error gui title is generally missing so add a GUI title to the module pool.
    11. Error:
    In case of ‘writing internal or transparent table’
    Correction:
    Write individual fields.
    E.g.:
    WRITE: / EXT. --> EXT should be a character type field
    WRITE: / EXT-ZZSTATE, EXT-LINE_NO, EXT-LINE_TXT, EXT-AMT, EXT-ZZSKUQTY.
    12. Error:
    In case of ‘combination reference table/field S541-UMMENGE does not exist’
    Correction:
    Was due to error in reference table S541. TABLE S541 has errors
    1)”Foreign key S541- ZZMARKET (ZZMARKET AND KATR2 point to different domains)”
    2)”Foreign key S541-ZZACQUIGRP (ZZACQUIGRP AND KATR8 point to different domains)”
    Changed the domain of ZZMARKET (from ZMKCODE to ATTR2)
    And that of ZMKCODE (from ZACCODE to ATTR8)
    13. Error:
    In case of ‘KEY does not exist’
    Correction:
    The reference table for field KBETR was KNOV earlier changed it to RV61A as KNOV was in turn referring to RV61A.
    14. Error:
    Incase of ‘WRITE’ statement, ‘Literals that take more than one line is not permitted in Unicode systems.’
    Correction: To correct this error, we need to align the spaces accordingly so that the statement doesn’t go beyond the line.
    15. Error:
    Incase of Data statement, ‘The data type ZWFHTML can be enhanced in any way. After a structure enhancement, this assignment or parameter might be syntactically incorrect………..’
    Correction: To correct this error, instead of “like” in the Data statement, use “type”.
    16. Error:
    Incase of DESCRIBE statement, ‘DESCRIBE can be used only with IN BYTE... Or IN CHARACTER mode in Unicode systems.’
    Correction: To correct this error, use additional text, IN BYTE MODE / IN CHARACTER MODE along with this statement.
    CHARACTER MODE is added when the data object is of flat/ character type.
    BYTE MODE is added when the data object is a deep structure.
    Syntax: DESCRIBE FIELD data_obj : LENGTH blen IN BYTE MODE,
    LENGTH clen IN CHARACTER MODE.
    Where blen and clen must be of type I.
    17. Error:
    Incase of DO-LOOP Error,’ In Do loop range addition needed‘
    Correction:
    An internal tables is declared and the two fields (VARYING field and NEXT field) were
    Included inside the internal table
    E.g.: In program SAPMZP02
    DO 11 TIMES
    •     VARYING STATION_STATE FROM STATION1 NEXT STATION2. “ECC6
    CASE SYST-INDEX.
    WHEN ‘1’
    STATION_STATE = STATION1.
    WHEN ‘2’
    STATION_STATE = STATION2.
    WHEN ‘3’
    STATION_STATE = STATION3.
    WHEN ‘4’
    STATION_STATE = STATION4.
    WHEN ‘5’
    STATION_STATE = STATION5.
    WHEN ‘6’
    STATION_STATE = STATION6.
    WHEN ‘7’
    STATION_STATE = STATION7.
    WHEN ‘8’
    STATION_STATE = STATION8.
    WHEN ‘9’
    STATION_STATE = STATION9.
    WHEN ‘10’
    STATION_STATE = STATION10.
    WHEN ‘11’
    STATION_STATE = STATION11.
    18. Error:
    Incase of the parameter QUEUE-ID Error,’ QUEUE-ID’ is neither a parameter nor a select option in program rsbdcbtc.’
    Correction:
    The parameter in program rsbdcbtc is QUEUE_ID and so is changed in this program
    E.g.: In program Z_CARRIER_EDI_INTERFACE
    •     submit rsbdcbtc with queue-id = apqi-qid and return. "ECC6
    •     The parameter name changed by replacing '-' with '_' as in program rsbdcbtc "ECC6
    Submit rsbdcbtc with queue_id = apqi-qid and return. "ECC6
    19. Error:
    Incase of EPC Error,’ Field symbol <TOT_FLD> is not assigned to a field ‘.
    Correction:
    This error couldn't be rectified as the error occurs in a Standard SAP include- LSVIMF29.
    The OS Note - 1036943 needs to be applied.
    Error:
    OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    Correct:
    OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    Error:
    Constants : c_tab type x value '09' .
    Correct:
    Constants : c_tab type abap_char1 value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab .
    Error:
    Data : begin of output_options occurs 0 . Include structure ssfcompop.
    Data : end of output_options .
    Correct:
    Data : output_options type standard table of ssfcompop with header line .
    Error:
    PARAMETERS : NAST TYPE NAST .
    Correct:
    PARAMETERS : NAST TYPE NAST NO-DISPLAY .
    Replace WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_UPLOAD by
    GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD and check the import and export parameter types , do the changes accordingly. Because FILENAME paramater type is different because of this it will give dump.
    For issue during Issue using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 Function module, the solution is After this FM we should put COMMIT WORK.
    Issue:
    Moving data from one structure to another structure if those two structures are not compatible
    Solution:
    we should use move-corresponding or field by filed we need to move it.
    If database structures are different in 4.6c and ECC6.0,
    Then we should go with append structure concept.
    While testing the report if it gives dump at Select query level or any database or view level,then just goto that table or view and goto the data base utility(se14) adjust the database. But make sure that selected radio button in se14 transaction should be activate and adjust database

  • A few (basic) questions about the iPhone

    I just got my iPhone 3GS about a week ago. I am very new to the whole smartphone arena, so some of my questions my seem stupid. Please be kind regardless.
    I've learned a lot about the iPhone by trial and error (pressing buttons to see what happens) but one thing I just discovered was the multitasking bar. When I accessed it, I saw every app I had run since I got the phone displayed in the multitasking bar. And I know that by holding the icons on the bar, you can bring up a red minus sign, touch it, and remove that app from the bar. My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
    Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network. It will automatically join my home network (for example, when I go somewhere and come home, it will switch back to my home network automatically), but it won't do this with, for example, the wifi network at McDonald's even though I did go through the setup and make that network a known network. Am I mistaken in thinking the phone should do this automatically, or do I have to search for the network every single time? Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those? I understand this question may be confusing, so I can try to clarify if need be.
    My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
    Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
    Only the last 4 apps to be run are actually active and in RAM. The others are swapped out to flash memory in a saved state (i.e you should be able to resume where you left off, if the app is written to support that). They don't therefore drain battery. I close all apps down from time to time (every few days) just to keep things neat.
    Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network.

Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those?

    It should automatically list new networks when (a) you're in range and (b) you try to connect to the internet (e.g. browse to a web page or check for email)
    My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
    The issue is not which drains more battery, but which you need to connect to the internet. Where you have wifi access, switch off 3G, where you have 3G, switch off wifi.

  • Does BB care that customers are unhappy about the iPhone 5 pre-order process? Should they?

    It is obvious that there are more than a few customers who are unhappy with the iPhone 5 pre-order process. In my case I was unhappy with it. BB kept pointing the finger at Apple. It is well documented in the press that Apple has redirected supply to Apple customers then to phone companies. So, although still unhappy, I was buying BB's explanation.
    Fast forward to this past Saturday. I received an email that my iPhone is ready for pick up. Due to prior commitments over the weekend I planned on picking up the phone on Monday. On Sunday I get an email stating that if I don't pick up my phone by Tuesday my preorder would be canceled. I gave it no thought. This morning (Monday) I got a reminder email. Still everything is good, because I'm going to pick it up today.
    I walked into the store seconds after the door was unlocked. I hand my paperwork to the salesman in the mobile department. He asked me if I had received a phone call. I said no. He said there was no iphone for me. I showed him the emails on my phone. The net result is that I do not yet have my iphone. I am expecting someone at BB to blame the emails on Apple.
    Does BB care about the fact that there are disgruntled customers? Should they? They no longer have any brick and mortar competitors. Since they have a monopoly in most markets, should they even bother to care? Caring would probably eat into their profits.

    They absolutely should care.  The thing about the iPhone is that it is a product that makes a large splash.  People can instantly talk about it since it is statistically a good ice breaker.  One of the first things I talk about when I discuss my iPhone with other's is where to buy it and I have not recommended Best Buy for the way they have handled this exact scenario.  When they found out what had happend they could have at the very least offered to price match Walmart for the 16GB version.  
    As far as the competition is concerned.  I say that I will be purchasing the more costly electronics online or Costco.  I am through with Best Buy.  I will stop in periodically and "play" with the item's I am interested in purchasing but no longer will I buy from them.  
    By blaming Apple for this and given that Apple has done this to them in the past, I can only wonder how they did not see this coming.  If I were in a situation where I knew the supplier would even consider Shorting me on supply I would demand a written and legally binding statement by that supplier that I would not get stiffed for the devices.  It only makes sense that if you have a contract to sell then you have a contract to secure your supply.
    If this contract existed we would be hearing about a lawsuit against Apple by Best Buy but they don't have this agreement so they just look amature and naiive.  
    Good luck to you in getting your phone.  I simply walked into an Apple Store in Cupertino CA on 09/21/12 at 5PM and walked out by 5:30PM with all my contacts and email set up.

  • About the iPhone and it's "lack of basic features"

    There are SO MANY rants going on in this discussing board about the iPhone lacking "basic features" of a cellphone. Here is my response to all of them at once. (I know this has nothing to do with user-to-user technical support, but the topic is discussed on here enough to warrant this post.)
    Sure, I would like to be able to send texts messages to multiple contacts, I would love to be able to add my own ringtones, copy and paste, and picture message. Here's the deal, Apple didn't set out to create a product with those features, they didn't set out to create a product that is like all the others or that has all the best features that every other phone has. They started over. They didn't compare it to any other phone. They have said over and over that the iPhone is a completely new product from the ground up. Sure it includes some features that can be found in phones that came before it, but it's all done in a new way. It's not some super phone that combines the best of every smartphone out there. They were very open about this and listed EVERYTHING the phone was going to be capable of. No, they didn't tell you the things that it wouldn't do, that's not the angle they were taking when designing and marketing this product, no one does that. The iPhone does everything they said it would do and does it better than any other phone that has the same features. So how can anyone come on here a gripe about it lacking basic features? The features I listed above are features that someone else reading this may never need or want. Basic features to you are not going to be basic features to me. Basic features 3 years ago are not basic features today nor will they be in 3 years. There are no basic features when it comes to the iPhone, other then perhaps the phone part. When you set out to create a product from the ground up, you don't start with a list of features that need to be included. You start with a blank slate and build on that, from your own ideas, your own technology, not based on what anyone else is doing or what has been done in the past. This is what Apple has done, and they have been very clear about it from day one. So please, if you feel that the iPhone lacks the "basic features" on a cell phone, take it back so that someone else can have that phone and enjoy its "basic features," that are like no other phone before it.

    Your posting should have went to the Apple.com feedback section instead of posting it here in the user to user forum, this goes back to doing research on what the iphone can and cannot do before making the purchase you have to remember this is just the first generation iphone just like there was a first generation ipod most likely they'll be enhancements coming up for the iphone i myself am happy with my iphone, how many cell phones out there have visual voicemail?

  • Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11?  If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

    Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11?  If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • A few  questions about the iPhone.

    Question 1: Does restoring your iPhone and getting the newer firmware help the battery life at all?
    Question 2: When restoring the iPhone, I have heard people say that you should back it up. only thing youd lose is contacts and texts right?
    Question 3: You guys most likely won't know this...but I have heard that apple is aware that the iphones were rushed and some have had issues. are the ones that they are now sening to the apple stores still old ones with the problems or do they make sure the ones they are sending out now are working good? because i'm just wondering if I should wait until apple addresses us directly about the issues until i buy.

    Possibly, I haven't noticed anything different, but others might have.
    EDIT: What firmware do you have? If you don't have 5A347, then do a restore to get it.

    EVERYTHING is erased off of your iPhone when you do this. You have to sync it back using iTunes regardless of back-ups. Back-ups just remember what settings and content you have on your iPhone so that it syncs everything back the way it was. Much more easier to do this than to start off fresh.

    Most issues are software problems, which will be resolved with future updates regardless of what phone you have. In my opinion, get it whenever because I don't think Apple will make any changes to the iPhone itself for a long time (years, probably), only the software.
