I've had that for a while, but have yet to really use it...

Quicksilver 09-25-2009 03:45 AM

So how do you have something that hasn't been available
before Sept 25th?

Jailbroken first, and I'm using my iphone abroad with another provider :nanana:

I have native tethering too :thumbup: Sucks that France is still in the 1980's as far as coverage :thumbdown

brian5 09-25-2009 09:22 AM

No, couldn't care about MMS.

I do care about the ridiculously poor battery life on my 3G after the OS 3.1 upgrade though. There have been hundreds (thousands?) of complaints from 3G and 3GS users about the impact to battery life after that upgrade. Apple is looking into it.

:iagree:

Having to charge the phone twice a day, then having it die after four hours is ridiculous, with the bluetooth off, not using the internet other than occasional map and a text. I'm ready for the iphone 4.0 and it better be DAMN good.

:iagree:..It does seem like the battery juice gets used up quicker. And if you're on the internet, using apps, etc, it sucks the juice out so quick.

bmwman3241 09-25-2009 11:00 AM

I use MMS quite a bit on my 3G to send pictures. It comes in handy if the parents send me to get something, so I could take a picture and ask if it's the right thing.

I don't think my iphone lasts more than 4 hours..and I charge it every time I am in the car or at home/work. But I send alot of emails and texts...soo yeah.

My phone fell in the pool yesterday..and 3GS isn't launched here yet.. sucks!!

4MoJoe 09-25-2009 12:49 PM

I'm ready for MMS! I miss that feature after changing from a Razor to iPhone when they first came out. I have the 3GS now and the battery life is awful. And until 3.1 the wi-fi would barely work at home. And hello! how about a flash for the camera. It's worthless in low light situations. Add to that the sucky volume when bluetooth paired with my X5 that wasn't there in the first gen iPhone.

Quicksilver 09-25-2009 01:39 PM

Getting back to the OP
Anybody upgraded yet?
How does it work.

Are you asking how you get the upgrade? Details here but I just connected my iPhone 3G to iTunes 9.01; hit "Check for Update"; and got the prompt that a carrier update is available.

After Power Down and back on, I now have MMS. Just tried it out. Sending a photo tooking longer than expected but it did seem to work... :)

Quicksilver 09-25-2009 06:17 PM

Not asking about the how, Just asking anyone who
installed it how does it work. But you answered.

Thats okay, not having the metro app is a great way to lead into a conversation with a parisian girl.

Bluetooth, wifi off and screen on low, listening to music and sending 30 texts a day (as opposed to about 400 before) kills it in a few hours. I'm pretty sure its normal cuz it happens to all my friends too.

Honestly;

If it's as you describe then there's a problem
and personally I would be talking to Apple.

My 3G is now running down to critical level in 6 hours after installing OS 3.1 (and that is not with a lot of usage).

Who knows why Cut and paste and MMS came late and all in 1 year.
But remember in the late 90s when everybody started selling colorful electronics
because they figured that was what made the iMac so popular?
Selling colorful electronics didn't make their product any better at all and the
industry is still copying the Apple model.................:nanana:

It is iPhone that inspired BB to release the Storm and Palm to release the Palm Pre. BB has had none or very little innovation whatsoever for years, just because they are selling and US govt. being major customer. For the amount time and # of units BB has sold, they seriously lack innovation and only time they innovate is when they just 'have to' due to competition.

You know what people don't comprehend? Blackberry just works. And it works well. Want to make a call? The phone works. Want to get your email? It sends/receives email. Need your contacts? Just look them up. Calendar? It's right there. Browser? Same. The rest is superfluous crap.

I happen to like my "superfluous crap" on my iPhone. Like my $2.99 turn by turn voice prompt navigation which is one of the 7 pages of apps I have installed. My 3 year old has 2 pages of learning games and I've used the compass and several other handy tools I've downloaded. There is a program called ReQall which I'm really enjoying. It is an intuitive reminder program that actually works with the ability to text/email others with voice recognition. It does much more as do several other programs. Yeah...I've got some useless cool things as well. I have the metal detector, a sonar measurement program which works to a distance of 60 feet and compensates for room temperature. There are a few others I'll never use but are cool none the less.

For personal use, whatever people use, they use, but in a business environment it causes a nightmare for support organizations.

So what if 1 is easier to use or not? That's not the point in question.

The point in question that you're ignoring is that I called out Apple and their fans for turning a blind eye to the iPhone not having basic capability that other phones have had for almost 10 years. To add to the ridiculousness and fanboydom, iPhone users act like Apple is being innovative when they do finally get the functionality. That being said, I am also making the point that I prefer that a company make the basics a priority instead of the "superfluous crap" apps that it seems that Apple has done. When you're in a support organization and people are calling my help desk saying "why can't i do this? it's a basic function, figure out a work around" on a daily basis, it supports my point.

Regarding your comment about "no one ever calling the help desk about a bberry", no, I never said that.

HOWEVER, iPhone's in a corporate environment need far more support not only from a user perspective, but from our Chief Security Officer standpoint as well, as Apple hasn't made it a priority to provide business applications that allow us to secure the devices, remotely wipe them if they're lost, push email instead of pull, integrating RSA tokens, etc etc.

Hmmm, I guess I didn't need to do any research after all, go figure.

Your preaching to the Choir my friend. Apple users already know about the issues regarding the devices and No one... Let me repeat "NO ONE" screams
louder than product users regarding apples products and decision
making.

I guess I must not run with the crowd you describe because i
Personally don't know of any iPhone users that act like Apple is being innovative when they do finally get a specific functionality.

But if your disturbed by what you call the ridiculousness and fanboydom then use whatever pleases you, I for one will not be offended by
your decision and I won't call other users out for using any
device of their choice.

Finally re: iPhone's in a corporate environment? My advice is
simple just use another device that suits the corporate
environment. It appears from your comment that Apple
doesn't care and the corporate CEO fanboys (as
you call them) don't either. Go figure. I guess they
been bitten by the innovation bug ......:rolleyes: :rofl:

Hmmm, I guess I didn't need to do any research after all, go figure.

BTW...You can GPS Ping...Remote Password Change and YES...Remote Wipe the iPhone.

True, but look at what you have to do to accomplish that :

You must set up a MobileMe e-mail account in the iPhone or iPod touch's Mail app.
You must enable Push in Settings: Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You must enable Find My iPhone for that MobileMe e-mail account (Settings: Mail, Contacts, Calendars: [MobileMe account name].
Your iPhone or iPod touch must be connected to the Internet.

On a bberry I log into the BES and click reset. done. The fatal flaw with the iphone is that if it's not connected to the internet a thief can stay offline and grab all of your data. On a bberry, as long as the device is on and the radio is on, you can wipe it.

Just for the record, I only have issues with the iphone in a corporate environment, whatever anyone uses personally I don't care, I dont have to support it ;)

Please allow me.

Mr. Thunder as usual, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and for gods sake stay away from iPhonesl. .....:stickpoke

OK...I get it now and see your point from a corporate security viewpoint. I've not said the iPhone is better than the BB in this sense but if I did I'd be wrong. I just like my FLUFF applications and I think the design is cool.

One thing for sure is I HATE AT&T. I get dropped calls every day and M-F between 4-6pm I can get as many as a half dozen in prime coverage areas.

Pathetic.

Thanks for the advice Josh.

I do have a profession and a hobby and contrary
to popular belief I have discussed the issue regarding
implementation of the iPhone into the corporate
environment with more than one CTO/VP of IT and
security of (as you say) some very large companies
right here in the Bay Area.

All of the discussions I have had with these people
have explained in detail their issue from a technical
standpoint regarding the iPhone and I understand the
issues fully from a technical standpoint.

The thread started out asking how the MM upgrade was
going for us average users. That was the point of the thread.
So If you saying my contribution made it a dumb
thread then so be it. Your opinion is noted.

Okay, now that everyone is done ranting about off topic items from the OP. How's the MMS working on the iPhone this weekend? I've sent tons of pics to my iPhone buddies and so far so good.

There is always excitement on X5 World (oh no, I mean Xoutpost.com) when we have Barry & Josh on board! ;)

MMS seems to working OK :) Unfortunately, I don't currently have a text plan so I need to think about that.
Didn't you mean to add Ron to your list? :cool: Things REALLY get moving when Bill chimes in too :D

SuperGreg 09-27-2009 10:28 PM

I love it, it's working GREAT for me :)

Quicksilver 09-27-2009 10:34 PM

Funny;
Someone sent me some pictures.
I sent them to my wife's blackberry
but the pictures were a no show.

I thought it was the iPhone but
come to find out she got the same
pictures that were sent to me and
they still didn't show up.
