ive had a 3G iPhone since the day before it was released (iPhone wiki scroll to bottom of page and read Honourable Mentions LOL)

its the best phone i have used , and i have used pretty much all the recent phones as i work in a phone shop.

i recently jailbroke my iPhone as i got sick of the app's fking up and not working all the time , didnt fix the problem but now i have mms and video recorder on my iPhone.

i can also change the backgrounds/themes/sounds EVERYTHING...

if you want some pics of what can be done to the iPhone to make it better let me know :yes:

i have an iPhone, and it has not missed a beat...

like i convinced mitch to do with his.... the first thing u need to do is hack it tho... only a muppet would pay for applications, after its hacked, its a whole new toy.

you can load in new themes, put on applications that apple did not want ppl to have (like sharing the 3G connection with a laptop, and the ability to record video for instance).

everything is easy to use if u dont have fat fingers.

if u get one, first stop is whirlpool.com, you will get easy to follow instruction on how to hack (jailbreak) and heaps of awesome applications. (like stumbler plus, and spoof mac. with these and a wee bit of know how you can get into "secure" wifi networks).

i dont regret getting it at all, im with optus on the $129plan, i get 3Gig of internet, and unlimited calls n texts

i like my iphone. it's pretty average as a phone having no mms, but sms and making calls is simple enough.

The reason i love it is because i fly and sit around airports a fair bit it's great to be able to watch a movie or listen to music. Like last week i was in sydney for a day so on the plane i watched the new californication it makes the time fly (you see what i did there?) and i then get to watch shows i usually don't have time for.

I have had a iPhone since september last year. I tried the HTC touch diamond running Windows Mobile. What pig it was just to navigate through the menus.

MMS? Pffft who cares when you have email. I was using MMS heavily before I got my iPhone and I don't even miss it. Huge range of free apps for it. Google maps just rocks. Trust me I just moved to melbourne and have found it invaluable when I or someone else needs directions. If you want to you can easily PWN your iPhone to customise it. I have put a couple custom ring tones on there without PWN it. I don't have the net at home, I just use my iphone for surfing the web and getting my mail and it works reliably every time.

Can't really say any more than if you want a device with Full multimedia capabillity with telephone and internet capabillities, then get one.

Yeah HTC Touch Diammond runs like a pig. Very laggy. Samsung Omnia is what I'm going to get. Touch screen, no f*cking around to get MMS and stuff (no breaking the warranty), 5pm camera and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 like a breeze.

iPhone, you can barely customize anything and is tied in with itunes and all that rubbish. 2mp camera fails. iPhone is for all the 'cool kids', Blackberry Storm and Samsung Omnia is for the real men!! Hahaha

i was in the market for a new phone about 6 months ago, just when the iphone was coming out. was thinking about it, but crappy camera with no flash, no mms, no bluetooth, and the keypad for sms is shit house. and just thought why compromise on the things i use the most.

ended up getting the lg viewty, coz it had everything i wanted. u can get basically any app on that u can on iphone, if ur code savvy u can access the system files and hack around to do other shit too (where with the iphone ur locked away from any type of customisation). saying that, the viewty is far from perfect. even being 5.0 mp, the camera is very average. the user interface is very laggy and clumsy. but txting is awesome, full lay out keypad long ways across the screen, so u can acutally type without ur finger nails like the iphone.

yeah I have been doing some research on the Omnia and it looks very good. Has a lot of good features that the Iphone doesn't.

One big issue is battery life. I use my phone a lot, and from experience people I have spoken with said you have to charge an Omnia EVERY night, where an Iphone will last for days - even with heavy usage. But then you can buy spare batteries for the Omnia and change them, whereas you can't on an Iphone.

So many things to weigh up.

I was playing with my brother-in-law's Iphone today (the guy that owns the silver Series 3 R33GTR 'VSPEC-3' that people spot down Port Adelaide direction all the time). I liked it a lot I must say and was extremely easy and fun to use. Plus he has bought games like 'Crash Kart Racing' for $7 and it runs super fast and is awesome fun.

Also my missus is looking like HAVING to get an Iphone as it is increasing ly likely that is what her work are going to set up to run on their VPN at work. SO it would be easier for me to have the same phone and accessories.

Plus one of my real desires is to be able to dock my phone and use it as my alarm clock. With an Iphone there are hundreds of devices on the market to charge and utlise it like this. They seem to be lacking for the Omnia at this stage.

yeh i got the blackberry pearl and was thinking of going the blackberry storm, but unless ur using push email there not the way too go...

now im keen on the n96. but @ $20 a month just for the fone on a $49 cap its fair hefty!

i have a iphone 3g

i imported this special vinyl to cover the phone it - you CANNOT tell it has a transparant cover on...

its scratch proof...ive got a key and scratch the F^CK out of it, and NO scratches....slid it across concrete - no scratches..

and no it doesnt stop it from smashing into pieces if i drop it... but its scratch proof - and doesnt leave finger prints...and still able to use ALL functions... - called "invisi-sheild"

got it from america...

iphones are rad, i love em imo! :P

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
