Why did YOU buy a iPhone 4?

I bought It mainly for the awesome apps & for facetime.
I bought my girl a iPod Touch for her birthday In Feb. of this year because she wanted some kinda "gadget". Once I saw all the cool games & apps...I decided I wanted one aswell.
I bought a 64GB iPod touch & returned it within 30 days because I heard that a new one comes out every September. But decided to get a iPhone because I didnt want to carry a cell AND a iPod Touch...just get the 2 devices In one.
But yeah...mainly for the apps. To me.. a cell phone is a cell phone...but It's the cool things that a cell phone can do that Is the icing on the cake for me.
And there really is a app for almost everything. Theres games,productivity apps,lifestyle apps,the list goes on and on.
This is my 1st iphone and I'm LOVING It. No problems with signal strength,bars,or what have you either.

My wife wanted the 3G in 2008, so I got one too. Loved it, sold it a few months ago because I knew the iPhone 4 was coming out. I went back to using my old Nokia 2320, wife kept using her iPhone 3G. She thought I was crazy for selling my iPhone but I was getting an iPad anyway.
Turns out I got exactly what the new iPhone 4 cost me, so selling the 3G when I did proved to be somewhat lucrative.
I love the ability to check email while I am out. I've seen blackberry, android, and windows mobile, and the only one that I thought looked good was Windows mobile 7 but it is not out yet. Blackberry just looked dated to me, combersome. I don't like the little roller ball, either. Android looked ok but I didn't like any on the phones except the nexus one. I didn't like how tied into google apps it was, and it wasn't was user friendly as the iPhone. Those are my opinions, nothing more.
This is the nicest phone I've ever owned. Plus, I have the apple store if I have any problems with it--something I wouldn't want to give up.

Why did you buy E6x and not E6x?

Why did you pick the one you did, and not the other? We all have differant ways to use our phones. Whick E-series modell did you buy...and why not the other?

given that all the e-series phones seem to be rather unique, i think this is a self answering question.
for instance, why would someone with an e60 get that over an e61? its fairly obvious really

Why did you buy a Nokia Laptop?

Just curious to know why anyone would buy a Nokia Laptop over the many alternatives out there.

I bought it for 5 reasons:
1. I liked the design and the Alu housing - it's really well build. I had an Acer netbook prior to this and it sucked in every way. hated the keyborad, the mouse pad, the screen, the plastic housing and the Acer name.
2. It has built in easy accessible 3G sim card slot, not like the Acer where the slot was behind the battery. It also has GPS and a nice SD card reader, which my camera also uses. So it's nice to have with me on vacation. HDMI is nice too.
3. It has a VERY nice battery time - I actually get 8-10 hours out of it effectively surfing the net full time.
4. I like the screen resolution, you can't go higher on a 10.1" screen.
5. I like the Nokia brand, it's Scandinavian like myself
What I feel they could have done better to justify the high price tag:
1. 11" screen instead of the thick black border around the 10" screen.
Do we need 1" border, ½" would have done it.
2. We need more ram, which we can't have because the 1 Gb ram is fixed to the MB.
3. I need light in the keybord, even though the battery life will suffer.....place an on/off light button for the keyborad in the next edition please !
4. Need a faster CPU. The Atom is outdated already.
That's it - 4 negative points. Correct these and you have a PERFECT netbook !!

Why did YOU buy MSI ?

Hey Guys,
I just bought a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D and now I’m starting to think i should return the Ultra-D and get the MSI KN8 Neo4 Plat.
So what made you guys go MSI over DFI/Abit or even Asus. One thing DFI has going for it is that it has OFFICIAL support in their forums (www.dfi-street.com)... so i guess that's a plus. One of the main reasons I’m thinking about switching is because from what I’ve been reading, the MSI Neo4 seems the be able to boot on the very first attempt, where as with the DFI I’ve seen people post lots of unusual problems where the board just refuses to work... The DFI is defiantly not very user-friendly.
Another reason I was attracted to the MSI Neo4 Plat. was because of the MSI software suite. What do you guys think of the CoreCell and CoreCenter programs... how accurate are they at reporting temps... and are they actually useful overclockign tools?
And the final reason I guess I’ve been attracted over to MSI is because the board just looks so damn good!
Now, I just had a few more questions... I'm going to be getting an A64 4000+ San Diego, so does the 1.2 BIOS support Rev. E chips... or am I going to run into lots of problems (instability) ? I know the 1.4 officially does, but from what I’ve read here... it seems it has serious flaws in it and the consensus i got was to say away from it.
My final question is in regards to the installation of a Thermalright XP-90. I've heard from a friend that the stock retention bracket is glued on instead of screwed on to the mobo, so it'll be really hard removing it and screwing on the retention bracket supplied by the XP-90. Is this true? Has any one here installed the XP-90 on to the Neo4 Plat, and if so... how did it go? Did you have to do anything out of the ordinary... did you need to install a back plate as well?
**EDIT**
I forgot to ask... Do any of the current BIOS's, or will the be a new BIOS that will allow DRAM voltages of up to 3.0v ? And secondly, which of the Ram slots are best suited for TCCD (OCZ EL PC3200 Plat Rev.2) ram ?
Thanks in advance!

I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard, which is slightly different from the Neo 4 Platinum, but...
I chose the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI because of its feature set, high praise from reviewers, & MSI's reputation. I especially like the built-in Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit audio on my motherboard -- it's the best on-board audio on any motherboard that I could find. Also, the on-board Marvell Gigabit Ethernet LAN slightly outperforms the on-board nForce4 SLI LAN.
My system booted up the first time, although I later ran into a problem with the motherboard. Read about it here. I had the option to return the defective MSI motherboard for another brand/model. I researched the DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR, but decided to get another MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI for the reasons listed above, plus I preferred the components/slots/headers layout of the MSI over the DFI.
I haven't used CoreCell or CoreCenter, so I can't comment on them. I've had no problems running an AMD Athlon 64 Venice (Rev E), running BIOS 3.0, but I haven't tried to overclock it yet. You'll have to get feedback on overclocking & the Neo 4 Platinum BIOS from others.
I installed the Thermalright XP-90 without any problems. You use the MSI backplate, which is glued on -- XP-90 doesn't include one. The stock MSI heatsink mounting bracket on the top of the motherboard will need to be replaced with the one supplied with the XP-90. Just remove the 2 screws holding the stock mounting bracket & it will come right off -- mine was not glued to the motherboard. When installing the XP-90's mounting bracket, make sure to use the screws supplied with the XP-90. I oriented the XP-90 to hang over my RAM slots, to provide extra cooling for the RAM.
I also have the OCZ EL Platinum Rev. 2 PC3200 RAM & it worked without problems in the recommended slots -- I used the first 2 slots.
I also looked at the K8N Neo4 Platinum, but chose the SLI version because of its better Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit audio & SLI features. Although I have no immediate plans to use 2 PCI-E graphics cards in SLI mode, it's nice to have that option open for the future.
Hope this helps.

HT201386 If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago ?? Good job !

If iPhoto is no more usable why did you let me buy it few month ago on my iPhone ?? Good job !

That is frustrating. You are right. The new Photos.app is not yet a sufficient substitute iPhoto.
And there was no clear warning with the upgrade to iOS that iPhoto would no longer work. Only after upgrading to iOS 8 could we find out, that iPhoto was gone.
In your case it may be too late now to downgrade back to iOS 7. It was possible right after the release of iOS 8, but by now Apple stopped signing the firmware, so you will find no trustworthy installers.
I think the best route is to send feedback to the developers, so the next Photos releases will bring back more of the advanced, missing iPhoto features. Apple brought already the Camera Roll back to Photos.

Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore. I organize my photos inside albums by events. Why? Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums. So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track? I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web. What's up? When will this be coming back? Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco. I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel. Help me out here please. Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums. Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

HT4946 when you change your country of orgin. why cant you buy in app purchases from apps that you downloaded in the previous country?

when you chane your country of orgin. why cant you buy in-apps purchases from apps which you bought in the previous country?

Bob,
Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

Hello!
They're still being sold in some places: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywo rds=ilife+09&sprefix=iLife+09%2Caps%2C194&rh=n%3A229534%2Ck%3Ailife+09
However, do you absolutely NEED iDVD? There are alternatives, like Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
I suggest you try it out since it's free. Maybe it'll be enough.

Why did I buy Nokia ??? Its height of testing a cu...

On 18.05.2011 I had given my nokia C6 to the shop from where I had purchased as my new phone was not functioning and its been 12 days since then that Nokia is unable to do anything about the situation. Although the manager Mr.. Aniruddha of the Kalighat Nokia care centre in Kolkata has been extremely polite in helping me out. But my unfortunate phone after being sent miles for some inspection has only reached the Nokia Care Centre only last Friday.
I am just cursing myself that why did I buy Nokia? Can someone do something please ?
Rest of the story goes below:
I am from Kolkata in India and on 01.05.2011 I had purchased a Nokia C6 from South City Mall's Shopper Stop Nokia mobile counter. The phone started giving problems from day 3 but since I was traveling for 16 days I was unable to get it to the same shop. Today on 18th May when I went they told the phone will be sent to service centre and will be returned to me after 25 days. And that too after very rude behaviour of the salesperson. This is ridiculous.
So, I paid for a phone from the Nokia stable and I am unable to use it for more than a month as Nokia would do research on the handset. I have always purchased Nokia handset and ever since mobile services where launched in India. This is the worst experience did not expect this from Nokia. Very bad after sales service.
The problems with the C6 handsets are : software hanging, touch does not work and keyboard not functioning.

That's pretty standard, my N97 took about 3 weeks to be returned, hope your C6 works well now, in past experience, how long do other phone manusacturers take to repair a phone ? Just wonder as I only have lomited expeience of one problem with a Nokia, so can't judge whether they are slower or quicker than other phone manufacturers at repairs ?

Why did I buy an 2.7 Ghg I5?

Why did I buy an 2.7 Ghg I5? What does it do that the regular one doesn't?

While you may not use graphics-intense programs today, as technology goes forward in the future, you'll have a better video system that can handle more intense web video's or web site animations or programs you may run.
And having a little faster CPU will help keep the performance up as programs get more complex over time.
So, I'd suggest while you may not use the full capability of your iMac today, it will serve you well over time.

Did you buy the Applecare for iPad?

Did you buy the applecare with your new iPad or planning to buy it? It says that for $99.99 CAN, it extends the warranty and technical support to 2 years. Plus it covers hardware damage but you have to pay extra $49.00 for service. I broke the glass from my iPhone before 1 day after I got it, Rogers told me that it will cost $400 for the repair, so I had to find a local person to repair it and it costs me $120.00 but I see some dusts trap inside it. Do you think for an extra $100, this is worthed?

There are two kinds of apple care.
Regular Apple care that has been for sale up to this last week and Apple Care +
Regular Apple Care
Can buy anytime in the first year's manufacturer's warranty
Applies only to manufacturer's defects, does NOT cover accidental damage
Any unauthorized repairs will void it
Apple Care +
Must be bought in the first 30 days after purchase
(may/may not apply to the iPad 3 only)
Covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage with a fee of $49 per incident
I presume that any unauthorized repairs will void it
What you got with yours was regular Apple Care, which infamously did not cover screen breakage. Most people were quoted repair prices starting at $269 and up depending on model. And really it wasn't as much a repair as it was you being allowed to purchase a refurbished device to replace your broken one with.
Apple Care Plus means that if you break your screen, you have up to 2 chances to only pay $49 for a replacement/Repair (no idea if they do the refurb swap or if they really fix it.....with the program in play only a week or so there's no real data available)
I personally got the regular Apple Care. Apple Care + didn't exist a few months ago. I hadn't originally bought it, but after my new iPad's 30 pin port corked it on me (best buy replaced it) I realized that there are certainly batches out there with manufacturer's defects in them and the $99 was a relatively cheap insurance policy against me getting another device with errors in it. (my theory.....some factories aren't as good as others or get batches of bad pieces and parts, so you end up with some out there with errors in them)
In your case, regular Apple Care wouldn't have helped you since it doesn't cover damage. however, Depending on how expensive the Care + is, if I had a new iPad I'd seriously consider it.

Hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain

hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain.

If by "EEUU" you mean the United States, if you purchase an unlocked iPhone, it will be usable with any Spanish carrier that offers compatible service. Note that the warranty will not be valid in Spain, or anywhere else other than in the US.

Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

Also note that the option is available in...
'''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.
