iPhone thread

You logged that as a bug and you're coding your own iPhone apps?

Yes, because it appears when you View Album, not View Artists. It shows them individually. It also only started happening after a recent release of the firmware, hence me thinking they had broken something.

Yeah I noticed that too. I updated to the latest firmware and since then all my albums with various artists screwed up when before it was fine. What an oversight by Apple!

Snap, same thing happened on mine - highly irritating.

I was hoping that with Orange (and next year Vodafone) picking up the contracts for the iPhone, we would see some price competition and a reduction in costs. Unfortunately having been on the Orange website it appears their proposed price plans from Nov 10th mirror those on O2.

Price fix anyone?

Price fix anyone?

Well if you believe what O2 say about that being literally the cheapest they can offer the phone for (won't even offer upgrade deals) then it makes sense that Orange will face the same problems.

Glad I didn't bother waiting, now.

I'm in the 'waiting for the iPhone' boat here as well. No problem with going with O2 personally, but speaking to a mate at work apparently the 3G network is better with Orange (And betterer again with T-Mobile, I assume they'll merge networks at some point) so I'm thinking it might be worth waiting for them.

Can anyone recommend cases and replaceement headphones with mic for the iPhone. No idea on cases (Want it to be protective without being too obstructive ideally), but I've been looking at the Bose headphones. I can't stand the quality of the Apple headphones.

EDIT: Eep, didn't realise Orange were releasing next week!

EDIT2: Hmm, Orange have a limited monthly download (750MB, not sure if this is a lot for iPhone usage?) where as far as I can see O2 don't.

I use a Capsule Rebel iPhone case, it's the tits.

Mmm, that looks very nice actually. A review mentions that the headphone jack might be a problem on some headphones - have you come across that problem?

[jimmbob]

Nope, I use the official headphones and they fit fine. As long as your headphone connector isn't massive I shouldn't think there would be a problem.
Bought mine from Play.com BTW.

Well, if you go with O2 at the moment you can get ?60 cashback via mobiles.co.uk and quidco. I'm not sure if that offer stretches to Orange yet though.

Yeah, just noticed they're only ?15 on there. Quite like the Serpent version as well actually, but I should probably hold fire until I've ordered an iPhone at least.

Oooh, now that's tempting as well.

iphone 3GS 32GB GET!!!

GETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

(I'm happy)

[chojin]

that tempting i just bought a 32gb 3gs in sexy black!!..

spoke to t-mobile as my contract is up shortly.... he then told me that they offer the 3g 36 quid a month 800 mins/600 texts but only to existing customers who want to leave.. and then carried on about O2 network not being able to offer the speeds that the 3gs is capable of... was he giving a load of bull?...

I just told them to cancel my contract when it is up anyway, I was very dissappointed with the guy on the phone his skills in retaining existing customers suck..

[SuperBeatBoy]

Can anyone recommend me some cheap Bluetooth Stereo Headphones?

Don't mind about the audio quality as long as they are as good as a pair of wired that cost about 4.99 in hmv.

Your mate is spot on. I used to be with T-Mobile and their 3G network was fine but with O2 it's average at best and seems to vary on an almost daily basis . Indeed a lad that works for me used to work in an O2 store and one of the more common complaints he had to deal with from new customers was regarding poor 3G coverage. Hopefully (fingers crossed) when the proposed merge of O2 and Vodafone networks goes through (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03...afone_network/) all will be well.
