I Got An Iphone...i Got An Iphone Today Hooray!


Recommended Posts

So who else lined up this morning?

I went to northland and the optus store there had sold out at 8am, and telechoice said they were ony giving them to people who had pre-paid....(fags!)

So went to Greensborough and lined up for an hour to get one from optus. Got the second last one and the NAC went down so they couldn't sign me up, need to wait for it now :) hopefully this afternoon.

One of my mates was in the city and he said the line there was 80-100 people long!

I hope it brings you happyness.

Why thank you, i'm sure it will :)

Dunno bout the speaker haven't got it yet, it's sitting at the store waiting till they can do a credit check.

The american 2G ones will work here as long as they have been hacked, a friend of mine has had one for ages, dunno what the go with the 3G ones is

I have been looking at the first gen ones over here at San Francisco, New York and now Vegas. They are fun and due to the time difference, they come out here in a few hours. From the research I have done, the ones in the US (3G ones not the 1st Gen), won't currently work back in Oz. There is also no prepaid one available here at launch unlike Oz. I am sure someone will get around it like the first one but it seems you have to provide a social security number and sign up to an AT&T (the provider here) plan when you buy it.

Price wise, it isnt much different to Oz so little to gain.

For those interested, this is on the Heraldsun site with regards to plans as an insight.

They have heaps of cases and accessories for them here so have bought a funky case that has a sucker to stick on the window for the GPS. G/f has bought a Paul Frank case that looks like a wallet.

iphone are shit, my n95 shits all over an iphone

Explain to me why...remember my requirements for a phone might be different from yours so saying it has this and that which the iphone doesn't is pointless....

Not sure about the bluetooth....I don't think so though.....

i agree, i dont see why they are so exciting

i had friends showing me the units about 3 months ago

and its just a phone with some other junk

im sure you guys enjoy it, but its a lotta hype

Hype yes, but hype or no hype people want it. It depends on what you want from a phone doesn't it.

The fact is the iPhone is huge, it's changed the way phones are designed now, you only need to look at the other teco's playing catch up. The HTC is a perfect example as nice as it is. Functioanlity is where it's at though and I'm sure there are better phone that the iPhone.

Each to their own :)

i had the iphone for about a month before i sold it

you cant send MMS like normal you have to send it via email so you get charged big bucks for it yes you can get 3rd party software to do so but then you can not view the items sent to you it only has a 2mp cam shit my old n73 has 3mp

having owned the n95 i would say it a better phone for features but the iphone has a better design now if only they could join them both up

it will be good to see how many iphones go up for sale now on ebay and 2nd hand after people get sick of the hype

Well not going into what it does and doesnt have, personally I own an ipod why would I want another hybrid with a phone, it's stupid and hardly practical

The new N96 got voted the best up-coming phone that'll be released this year

It's blown the whole ipod craze thing out of proportion, and as its losing interest they have to market it a different way to keep people interested...

I stand by the fact that no matter how much functionality you build into a phone, without a decent size display and a GOOD way to manipulate the data and input info they are fckn useless. These pissy little keyboards just suck.

Don't know much about the N96, will sus it out. I've always had Nokia's, the only thing that shits me about then is the fact that EVERY one I've had crashes, the firmware is so buggy!

Edit - Just checked it out - http://www.cnet.com.au/mobilephones/phones...earch?source=ig

Nice features and a big screen but no way to input data apart from the Numeric pad, just SO sucky :)

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
