True, but I probably won't be able to buy the iphone then. It's really going to be a choice I have to make right now, ignoring the fact that there's a new iphone on the way.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
So my iphone 4 got stuck in recovery mode while updating on iTunes and I tried uninstalling iTunes but it didn't work. One of my computers won't even detect the iPhone (the one it got the error on) and the other one either fails every time or it says that the Apple update server (or something is unavailable).
Besides the obvious: iTunes sucks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get my iPhone out of recovery mode? And no, I didn't jailbreak it.
EDIT: Never mind. It finally restored itself. That was annoying.

Why do you think two people in a relationship are referred to as a 'couple'?

The link says 5, he changed it to 4.
Also, yes.
I cracked my screen in the bottom corner after I dropped it twice on my concrete patio in a week span...both times it magically landed on the front screen. My fault for this happening with no case on.
Luckily the crack is on the bottom corner so it doesn't affect any of the viewable touch space, but it still pisses me the fuck off.

:lol Fair enough then.
I hope it's a 5, but I believe it will be a 4S redesign. My launch day 3GS looks like a car accident, so I'm desperate for a new shiny phone!

Stream2Me. I used to use AirVideo, but this works better and has more functionality. Get it.
I used 16GB last month. Im going to try and keep it below 10, so ATT doesn't bother or throttle me.
It will stream my entire iTunes library, playlists ect with all shuffle options. My iPhoto library and all videos regardless of codec.
I also use Netflix, Pandora, Hulu+, Youtube, Flickr

Calvetica has been updated to version 4.0 with a completely revamped interface.
I'll leave the link to the appstore here:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/calvetica-calendar/id385862462?mt=8
and continue telling you that it's by far the best calendar I have ever tried for the iPhone.
Calvetica 4 is finally also fucking universal, and the iPad version is as good as the iPhone one.
Both are super intuitive, super fast, super useful and super pretty.
I really adore all the work this guys from Mysterious Trousers have done.
I guess everything might sound a bit fanboyish, but I really, really love this app.
Check it out, it only 1.99$.
Some reviews are being a bit harsh on the 4.0 update, but that's only because the interface has been revamped and some people liked the old one better. Still, I read they are planning on submitting the older version again to the appstore, so people can download it again if they want (4.0 rocks, though).

Has anyone had a problem with iTunes not detecting your iPhone?
I had been using iTunes on my laptop without any problems, but decided to switch to my desktop because I'm thinking about selling my laptop. So I downloaded the newest version of iTunes (10.4) and every time I plug in my iPhone iTunes will just freeze for a few minutes and never end up detecting my iPhone even though Windows detects it perfectly fine. Ive tried reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling iTunes, going back to an older version of iTunes that I still have on my laptop. Even tried flashing the BIOS on my motherboard to the newest version. So far the only thing that has made iTunes be able to detect my iPhone is changing iTunes compatibility mode to Windows XP, but that is a pain in the ass because it changes the theme and gives a warning every time i open iTunes that way.
My desktop and laptop are both running Win7 64bit and my iTunes on my laptop has no problem detecting my iPhone, so I have no idea what else to try, any help would be appreciated

Well I finally got the phone 3 weeks ago for my wife and myself. I know, I am crazy since the new one should come out soon but I really don't have to have the latest and greatest.
Just want to say this thing is amazing. Getting used to the touch screen since I've only owned Blackberry's past 4-5 years. All in all I think Apple gots my money for the forseeable future (unless something crazy good comes out).

I have been having trouble with the mail program on my iPhone lately. It is not retrieving the data on schedule like it used to. I use Yahoo, so there is no push, so I have the mail program fetch the data. It worked perfectly until just recently. Any ideas?

iPhone4 still BEASTING on Verizon. Sales actually increased last quarter!
This is crazy for 4 reasons:
1) Most people predicted there would be some drop-off as the debut quarter was predicted to fill most of the pent-up demand for iPhone from Verizon's existing customer base who were waiting, and from ATT customers switching providers.
2) The quarter is usually a down quarter.
3) The iPhone 4 is old.
4) Verizon has really been pushing 4G in advertising.

Random question maybe you guys can help me with. I've had a 3GS for a few weeks now. Fuck awesome (and I got it free from my brother in law who wanted a 4, so awesome price.)
I don't have a data plan so I have it set to off in the settings. But, every once in a while I'll get a pop up message telling me the phone is unable to access the data network (or something like that). Seems to happen most when I'm texting. Everything is working fine, just annoying. The phone is jailbroken if that matters. Any guesses as to what is causing it?
EDIT: Just realized this is an iphone 4 OT, hope it's alright I'm asking about a 3GS problem.

1) Most other people expected demand on Verizon to pick up as the casual users got out of contract and walked into their local stores to pick up a new phone.
2) The quarter is usually a down quarter because there would be rumors that the next iPhone would be arriving soon and Apple would have given a preview of the next major iOS update so most people would know to wait. That didn't happen this year and some people who held off at the verizon iphone launch, because they thought there might be a new iphone coming in june, got the iphone4 later. There would also be lots of old iPhones available on the used phones market by that time but the used CDMA iPhone market is very small right now and more troublesome to get into than the used GSM iPhone market.
3) The Verizon iPhone 4 is still relatively new.
4) Verizon has been pushing 4G in tv advertising but at the point-of-sale, where most consumers make their decision, the Verizon iPhone is very prominently placed and the sales rep will often highly recommend it. Not to mention that Apple does a lot of advertising on their own, more than any individual Android phone manufacturer.
The iPhone4 beasting on Verizon is not unexpected. It's not beasting more Android though, is it? Android phones are the iPhone4's main competitors and they are still doing very well when most people actually said that the iPhone on Verizon would bring it back ahead of Android. The iPhone has instead benefited from the poor competition from RIM, HP and Microsoft. The has been no new blackberry on Verizon and the best blackberry (the torch) is not available on Verizon. The webOS and WP7 devices were delayed, are outdated, the launches were botched and, again, the best devices for those platforms are on other carriers... I actually think the iPhone4 underperformed; I expected more sales actually.

My Yahoo mail has been acting up as well. Every now and then it will say that my user name and password are wrong. I freaked out the first time and I thought I had been hacked. It probably happens once a week. I'm assuming it's something on Yahoo's end.

I used that as a cutting template when I had to cut down my sims. Be careful though, don't cock it up or your sims useless. No pressure
!OT: Recently changed network so I could get 3G wherever I got signal (3 for those who live in the UK) and it has breathed new life into a phone that was already pretty fucking good.
Anyone else who is a moderate user of 3G; what is your battery life like?
I'm running iOS 5 b3 so I don't know if it's that or if it's the change in network that's killing my battery.
? The verizon iPhone is a new model as there were no previous iPhones on that carrier.Talon- said:
the market as whole is growing. Many people are switching from feature phones to smartphones now as they reach the end of their contracts and get subsidies to buy iPhones and the like. The iPhone was expected to be growing significantly faster than the rest of the market once it was available on Verizon but it's now. While the iPhones sales are nothing to sniff at, its not the absolute domination that people were expecting either.
if the iphone 4 underperformed (i still don't know how you can look at the sales growth and think this) it's because Apple literally could not make more of them. like the iPad it is selling through every phone it makes.

If the iPhone is underperforming, what phone manufacturer is performing on par? They sold over 20 million iPhones last quarter. Over 10x what they sold at launch a year ago and over double the year ago quarter. They only sold 8 million iPhones in Q3 2010.Greyface said:
Analysts did not predict the high sales for the quarter because of the lack of iPhone 5 launch which is why the stock dipped at WWDC but exploded after the Q3 earnings announcement.

It depends on your metric.
If you want to talkpure hardware unit marketshare, yes, it is beasting, but no, not more than Android.
If you want to talk about things that actually make money, like profits and app and media marketplaces, since Apple is taking around 50% of all the profits in the entire industry, and Android, RIM, WP, WebOS, ect. are splitting the rest, as well as dominating the app and media market, I'd say "Yes, it is beasting more than Android."
If you want to see how much Android is beasting, look at the history of BOGOs. Hell, Verizon just announced another BOGO this week on the Droid 3. Now compair how many BOGOs you've ever seen for iPhone. I'll give you a hint. There's never been one.
Greyface said:
In marketshare? OK, WHO are these supposed "most people" said that?
Greyface said:
Not as much as Android...and the pie charts clearly reflect this.
Greyface said:
You are a silly person then, because these numbers are phenomenal and totally unexpected.
numble, LCfiner I talking specifically about the Verizon model not Apple's worldwide iPhone sales. Apple is doing great worldwide no question. However the Verizon model showed little growth, up by only 100,000 from previous quarter, and Apple activated over a million more iPhones on AT&T despite having more potential for growth on Verizon which has a larger userbase yet few smartphone subscribers (although, to be fair, AT&T did have that cheap iPhone 3GS).

This is purely speculation, but I think the reason the VZW iPhone 4 hasn't sold as well as the ATT model is because VZW got the phone 8 months late and many expected the 4S/5 to debut in the summer. Now, those same people who waited until summer are holding out a bit longer until next month/September. At least this is the case for a good number of my friends and family.
