Yeah I will!
think ive used about 30MB so far this last 2 weeks got another 90MB left anyway! youtube uses about 5-6MB watching Video's lol
and Nokia's Internet Radio and Virtual Radio just burn alot anyway but you can listen to about 2 tracks for 6MB not bad tbh
which music apps does the iPhone have? Streaming etc?
Posted by Dicky Snapples
Theres loads of 3rd party apps you can download via the installer, i usually just listen to music through the youtube app
Posted by Miss UK
on the iPhone? or your Nokia..
My favourite music site is that Virtual Radio cos it has Digitally Imported on it and alot more choice, but the Nokia app is getting better as more stations are added
The Podcast app is pretty good too on the N95,
will have to start using mine as a music dvice at some stage,
didn't exspect to get 1 tbh and I bout a Sandisk MP3 player
just luck I managed to bag myphone at the price I paid for it tbh

Hi all,
Well sorry to say no more screenshots from me as my love affair with the iPhone is officially over and it's back in it's box and being sold.
Now please don't get me wrong i do still think it is a great Multimedia device and defiantly has some serious plus points some being,
Superb Build quality
Good Music Player
Good Video Player
Good Photo viewer
Good Web Browser
There where just some things that really bugged me as i just found using a Touchscreen really annoying. The Web browser not keeping the size i wanted and every page needing to be expanded annoyed the hell out of me and there was no way i could find to change it. Now if that's wrong i am willing to listen. But i also didn't find scrolling to be that great either and by the time i made the page large enough it was hard to navigate.
E-Mail took all my settings from Outlook but downloaded all my Spam to. My MSN account could only be accessed via the Web and again that meant expanding the page constantly. I could only change my ringtone not E-Mail alert or SMS notification or worse still my alarm now this may be partially due to running 1.14 Firmware but it was very annoying. There was no way i wanted to have to start down grading my firmware as jail breaking activating and unlocking once was enough for me.
Sorry to have to say this but IMO my E90 handles E-Mail and push E-Mail far better and i can customise my alerts and the hours it works for and run 3 separate accounts with ease. I can also set it up to only work with my WiFi Network and disable it whilst roaming.
My Web browser is as fast and stays set at the Zoom level i want, navigation is far quicker and easier IMO with my D-Pad and gives a better experience on my larger screen.
Video also in Full Screen is far better and the same goes for my pictures, i also found making calendar appointments to be a pain with the spinning times as opposed to just entering the time. Now maybe this is just my preference as i am not used to a touchscreen but it was starting to drive me nuts.
The iPhone is much better at playing Music but then i still have an 80GB 5.5 Gen iPod for that and really don't find it is to big or heavy to carry with me either.
Although i was getting quite quick with the On Screen Keyboard it was no way as intuitive or quick as my full Qwerty and shift keys as found on my E90. Again that might just be me but being back with my E90 just feels so much faster and easier.
As i said i do still think the iPhone is a great device and was very impressed with the range of apps available and also the way you could also add Web Apps. Just not a device for me as i prefer a non Touchscreen S60 device I'm afraid.
Marc

Marc, why are you selling your phone, mate? I thought you liked it!!
*Edit* you posted just before I did!
It's strange that you can't change your alarm tone. I also have 1.1.4 and I can change my tone to a custom ringtone.

Yes that is strange just checked mine and can have a custom ringtone too, weird.
Posted by masseur
same here with alarm tones
I do agree with the font size in Safari and that was one of the things I first commented on. A little work around I use (if I am viewing in portrait) is to wait for the page to load, flick the iphone to landscape... this changes the font size to a more readable level (for those of us that wear reading glasses!), then change back to portrait and it keeps that larger font size until you go to the next page. I suppose its just as quick to drag your fingers open to expand the page but my method is good for one handed operation

You can just double tap anywhere on the web page, and it zooms to the item you double tapped on.
Posted by Dogmann
Hi all
Well i have no idea why but my custom ringtones didn't show for the alarm function there was just a small selection to choose from and less than the ringtones selection to.
Anyway that really wasn't a deal breaker just a comment i think really i just don't like Touch screens anymore is the answer and have become some what spoilt by my E90.
I still think it is great device no doubt about it but just not the right device for me is all.
@mswallis
Yes I'm aware of all of that but just found it annoying was all as i needed to zoom it in to the size i wanted first then navigate and as soon as i changed page repeat. As opposed to just opening and scrolling the page on a much bigger screen with the correct size already selected. I'm not saying it is unworkable just not right for me.
Marc

unfortunately that doesn't work on some pages, for example at mobile Esato (mobile.esato.com/latestposts.php). if you double tap it looks like its starting to zoom but then it immediately shrinks back to original size
Posted by DragonEye
oh well... i'd say you need to give it more time.. i love ts too much now.. everytime i use a regular phone i start pounding on the screen...
no issues with any custom tones or sounds at all.. marc maybe you should try customize 2.0

Hi Dragon Eye,
Really i just think i am no longer a fan of Touch Screen devices any longer and my comfort zone and what i prefer is the S60 way of doing things. Plus my screen is larger and my full QWERTY much quicker as while i loved it to start with it ended up just winding me up but as they say different strokes for different folks and at least i tried and experienced it before deciding so i was able to make an informed decision.
I don't expect everyone to appreciate my E90 but for now and for me it is just unbeatable in all it does bar playing Music.
Marc

Whats that iDope app lol? @ Marc, ur chucking that iPhone quicker than the N95 8GB then! What puts me of is touchscreen texting personally, my N95-2 handles more for me anyway and its also a better multimedia device if I wanted a mp3 player tho I think it would be ideal its posie and makes a quick call and access to the internet. Dont think I could handle it being my fulltime handset quite literally

need some help with my iphone..
can the wi-fi function work without the sim being inserted? because, i get the symbol to tell me that there is wifi avaible, but my iphone can't connect to it.
The reason for this is that i have run up a huge bill for data usage in the past, when i have put in my sim card in.
thanks in advance

I've just poped my sim out and I can still use safari to browse the internet etc so yes, the wifi works without a sim card

Yeah works fine without sim just like Masseur said, you can install a prog from the installer called boss prefs which allows you to turn edge/gprs off so it won't connect other than with wifi.

Hi!
got an iPod Touch 32gb coming tomorrow....
Just wondered, what cases are people using? Silicon, Crystal, Leather?
I can see a few types in Comet, PC-World etc... but wondered Esato members prefered cases for their iPods and iPhones !
Ofiaich
Posted by whentheleveebreaks
i dont use a case, not one scratch one the front and ive had it since nearly the uk release date
Posted by Dogmann
Hi Ofiach,
I had a PDAir Flip case that could attach with a belt clip or a neck chain and still gave full access to the device. You can check it out in what was my for Sale thread as it's been sold now. I also had some really good Anti Glare screen protectors from the Apple shop and the Griffin Headphone adapter which was all i needed.
Marc

Hi guys, I am a very new (yesterday) member of this club. I have just downloaded my existing itunes library onto my phone, can I play itunes vidoes on my iphone. Please advise
Posted by masseur
yes. in fact this is mostly what I play as audio is so twentieth century
I ripped most of my music video DVD's and also download close to a GB of video podcasts from itunes each day
Posted by j0be
Thanks mate

Hi masseur,
I ripped most of my music video DVD's and also download close to a GB of video podcasts from itunes each day
what is your preferred software for ripping DVD's?
I have Any Video Converter and will need to upgrade it, to rip DVD's.

I've tried many but I've been using DVD Catalyst for windows mobile and now iphone. My son also uses it for PSP. it does a very good job and I've been in contact with the developer quite alot assisting with problem DVDs that have unusual layouts
Posted by ofiaich
Thanks masseur!
I guess I should download the version for the iPhone, to try with my iPod Touch.. rather than the iPod version which I guess is for the Classic..
edit - files have the same name !
I will try at the weekend !
Enjoying the Touch but email via the Exchange Server is not so easy to setup...
Ofiaich

Posted by masseur
I'm not sure what you are looking at but unlike other software I've tried where you have to buy a different version for each output device, this DVD Catalyst that I am using is a single version for all possible devices. You simply choose the output device before starting the conversion
Posted by ofiaich
hi masseur,
I was looking here but I see the files all have the same version number.
I am trying to rip a DVD now... first time, and I guess the process takes a long time !
Ofiaich
Posted by masseur
hmmm... I can see the confusion but certainly the version I have will output in all available formats
I've never done a full movie as I only ever do music videos so I have no idea how long a full movie takes, but you will not be dissapointed at the quality of the output I'm sure
Posted by ofiaich
Hi!
I found what to choose in the output options.
I am converting Kiss of the Dragon ! I have a few music DVD's so will try those tomorrow!
Thanks !
Ofiaich
Posted by ofiaich
masseur,
of course, you were right ! The quality is excellent !
The video seems to be cropped, from the right side. Opening credits (names) were cropped.
But sound and pictures are excellent !
Thanks very much! I will get this software ordered tomorrow !
Ofiaich
Posted by masseur
you can adjust all that and get exactly the frame size you want
Posted by Dogmann
Hi Ofiaich,
I use and have been using for ages Movavi Video Converter now on Version 6, it has a really simple one click operation for conversions. It comes with many presets for popular devices including the iPhone and even has the functionality that allows you to create custom profiles.
It has converted all my Films and Video' for my E90 and did the same for my iPhone great quality and easy to use. The trial version allows you to convert 30% of a file to see if you like it or not before you buy it.
Marc

Hi everyone!
First thoughts !
I am enjoying my Touch 32gb very much ! The only problem I am having at the moment, is setting up email.
I tried my Vodafone settings and could not get them the work. I also tried the exchange server and that did not work either. Settings for the exchange server seem different as compared with my info sheets from my service provider for exchange mail. Little bit confusing....
I was using my home WiFi, which does work, because I used the Opera browser successfully!
I didn't give a lot of time, to email setup, so will try to sort it out this weekend !
I have transferred lots of music and also converted 'The Kiss of the Dragon' and it looks and sounds great !
I used masseurs recommendation - DVD Catalyst (see his link a few posts above this one )
I do find that I 'mis-type' sometimes. The Japanese input is very good and easier than on a TyTn II.
I look forward to a 32 gig or 64 gig iPhone with UMTS ! I would love to use that in Japan!
One thing that has surprised me... is I have the faintest of scratches on the back, even though I always put the Touch down on a glasses cleaning cloth or iPod Sock!
I am thinking of getting a PDAir case or a Griffin one. Also seen Belkin Crystal ones but they do not look cool.
I might keep it in an iPod sock with an top quality Nikon lens cleaning cloth.
Still have the original screen protector in place, and will leave it there until I busy a new one.
Good links for these products is appreciated !
thanks !
