perhaps i'm the only one with this problem, but I installed the latest version of slide2unlock on my htc 8125...and it would freeze up my phone constantly (even with no programs running in the background). Trying to bring the phone out of lock mode would be slow and inconsistent

does anyone else experience bugs with it?

sigh ....

I posted over in another forum about technology that the iPhone has and how it's stupid to hate on it when it does a lot of things right. My point is that so many people are blinded by the same old "Mac vs. PC" debate that they're missing out on seeing how the iPhone is a benefit to the industry as a whole, and has some neat-o new technologies to boot.

I never said anyone should buy an iPhone, or even that I bought one myself (I haven't/wouldn't for various reasons)

It took exactly one response for the first WM user to call me gay.

It got worse from there. Everyone talking about how stupid I must be because I think Safari on the iPhone is a step in the right direction for mobile browsers. I guess I must be wrong - people always complain about PIE - until APPLE of all people comes up with an alternative interface.

I didn't respond to the thread - I didn't get a chance to - a moderator locked it up. Granted, it probably belonged in a different forum, but I requested that he moved it and he said he wouldn't (even though that's what he suggested).

The problem wasn't that the thread was locked. It was how the moderator treated it. It wasn't a "this thread is out of hand, I'm going to lock it up" kind of a thing - it was a "the iPhone is a piece of crap and you're retarded so I'm locking this up" kind of response.

So that's cool. The moderator can throw in his opinion and have the last word on the matter by locking up the thread. It's a cool way to win any argument.

The funny thing is that I didn't intend for there to be an argument - I just intended to open some closed-minded people's eyes that the iPhone does actually pack in an impressive feature or two. Not that it's going to replace your 8525 or whatever, but that it has some cool things about it. But everyone immediately went on the defensive, assumed I must be an Apple fanboy and flamed me to hell and back. Without a chance to defend myself the thread was locked and case closed. The iPhone sucks and the closed thread proves it.

I'm glad I live in a place that doesn't shut out and silence opinions that are (apparently) not popular. A lot of these guys would have been good in positions of authority in China. Maybe they could help with their censorship efforts over there?

Now I just think the WM users on this forum are close-minded assholes. I mean - they can't even admit that the iPhone has one positive virtue, even to a guy whose not trying to sell them on one. Idiots.

and p.s.

The iPhone may be a piece of crap with not one positive trait or feature, but it's interesting that users around here are falling all over themselves trying to build apps that make their WM phones look and act like the iPhone.

Why downgrade to such an inferior device?

iphone keyboard

hello to everybody

i was really impressed by the new iphone solution for keyboard finger-tapping!!

As you can see fm the video, whn you tap on a letter it istantly pops up a window just on top of the area you are tapping, showing the selected in larger size, so you are aware if what you are actually writing.

It looks like you can really type very fast and with no errors!!!!

i own a Trinity P3600 (wm5) and by using Phone Pad or Happy Tapping i can only partially achieve a 'pen-free' use of my device.

Those size-increasing letters of the iphone keyboard are REAL solution.

I wold never give away my Trinity for the iphone but just wondering if there is any software around that can bring such nice feature to WM5/WM6

anyone came across to something like that?

thanks

Upgrading the iPhone

I took a different route....

My 8525 is emulating an iPhone which is emulating an 8525. Wow....I've never seen the iPhone with such flexibility!
[General Topics] CrashC:
If that was your point, you probably shouldn't say things like this in your post:

You're ripping on people for downplaying the impact of the iPhone while downplaying their HTC devices... even going so far as to call all HTC devices second rate to iPhone. A little hypocritical, don't you think?

I agree, lame and useless.

Again, I agree, not necessary for a moderator to express a personal opinion when closing a thread. I believe they were correct in closing your thread as it served no purpose and, even if it did, I think you went at it with a poor choice of words.

I get your point, but this analogy is flawed at best. This isn't a government website. It's a free service that allows you to use their service as long as you follow their ruleset. As they provide the service, they get to decide what that ruleset is. Your analogy to communist China isn't very applicable, in my opinion. You are choosing to use this service where as communist China forces you to do something or risk imprisonment. Not exactly the same, don't you think?

Again, you called out WM users for being "bigoted" and I believe arrogant while doing the same yourself. Pot, meet kettle.

I agree with your general idea that the iPhone, regardless of the features it may or may not have, has introduced the PDA phone product as a whole to an entire audience that wasn't interested before in exactly the way they did so with bringing mp3 players to the masses. Many people simply don't want something they can tweak, regardless of it lacks all of the features and options. They want something simple to use, that they don't have to babysit, that consistently just works as it should... and Apple has succeded in doing so. The sheer numbers back that up.

All of that being said, I'm a graphic designer that works on a Mac all day with a WinXP laptop sitting right next to it. Last week I was faced with the decision between an iPhone and an 8525. For me, the lack of 3G and the lack of a removeable battery turned me away. That led me to the 8525 which, being a tweaker, I love so far. I've been able to do everything I wanted out of the iPhone and more, short of the slick animations. Once I finally get iContact to work, it'll be 90% of the way there. I got in at a great time with WM6 released from HTC within 3 days of my purchase :)
[General Topics] p9939068:
Well in my opinion, you really cannot compare a WM device with the iPhone. I own a few WM devices (currently using an Atom Life) and the iPhone (which i cannot use to make calls since i'm not in the US), and I have to say if anyone even try to compare the 2 of them, then I say you're not looking at it correctly.

You can come up with a myriad of reasons for why people chose to get an iPhone, but if your reasons are based on its functionality, then you're missing out on the biggest reason: the iPhone is all about user experience. It's a beautiful piece of gadget, both hardware and software are works of art. The user interface is almost flawless. It's actually quite engaging to use the iPhone, regardless of what functionality you're using it for. There is almost zero lag when switching between apps. The battery lasts forever: almost 2 days with wifi radio on all the time, surfing, listening to music and watching videos here and there. And for the 10 days I've gotten it, it hasn't crashed/hung a single time. All these are part of user experience, and user experience is nothing something you can write down on a specs sheet. It's not about "what you can do with it", but "what is it like using it".

It's pretty simple logic: if you're looking at an iPhone and all you see is its features, then it'll make no sense for an Atom Life user like me to love the iPhone. But if you see the iPhone as a separate class of its own, in terms of user experience and hardware/software design, you'll know why there is so much hype about it (marketing aside).

By the way, there are ways to "tweak" your iphone now. Nothing extraordinary, just simple stuff like changing icons and ringtones etc, but we're getting there ;) I simply adore it.
[General Topics] schizo:
Finally I agree... iPhone has the class of its owns... and not comparable to any other devices ever existed.

See here in Mobile Review: http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2007/iphone-name-en.shtml

They passed after smartphone, enterprise, multimedia, and finally categorized it into "Fashion Phone". Haute coutoure maybe... :D

But IMHO, haute coutoure is personal. So since iPhone is a hype, then it is mainstream fashion... not haute coutoure/personal :P

[General Topics] tenzin:
I use an iPhone for 18 days now, except the phone part.

What I can tell you is that iPhone is fun ... but far away to be perfect !

The keyboard is a nightmare (and I have thin thingers!), and no directionnal arrows , plus the scroll to find a contact is nuts even if it can seem funny the first time, it take too much time , no possibilities to tap the first letters to find a contact, portrait-landscape automatic moving is not for all the applications :-( , etc ... etc ... plus no good software on it like a good PIM, etc ... everything is too basic.

And .. it crashed 2 times , have to do a reset , and same from 3 of my friends ... that is not important for me but just to tell that iPhone also crashed ...

So as it is right now the iphone is for people who just want a phone-ipod but can't replace my HTC P3600 or X7500, far away .

In fact it's more a fashion-phone but don't expect too much from it ! you can't compare with WM devices such HTC ones ...

Good phone for fashion-victims too, as Paris Hilton can show .

The graphic interface is cool, but that doesn't make all !!! after all that iPapy told us in january I was expecting more, lots of work to do on it .

[General Topics] spangelsaregreat:
One thing the iphone has done for me is make me use the touch screen more with Touch Flo, pocket CM keyboard etc.

It has forced WM developers to provide a more user friendly interface.

I can remember quite clearly when I first got a JAM being a bit frustrated at having to take out the stylus all the time. Sure it is great for writing out quick notes but having to use it to end programs and scroll etc was a pain.

Over the last few years (using a JAMin then a P3300) I have been able to cut down the use of the stylus through configuring buttons and using scroll wheels etc.

The iphone style use of the touch screen has further refined my use with touch scrolling etc. which is a good thing. I still use the stylus for writing duties mainly (it is simply faster for me) but is still handy to have the iphone style keyboard for one handed texting (I never liked phone pad), something you could never do with WM keyboard.

So the iphone has made WM move to a better user interface, much like the MAC did with windows on the PC.

I would never consider buying a MAC and I would never consider an iphone (it simply does not do enough compared ot a Pocket PC) but I am glad they are there as competition has made Microsoft and its associated developers raise their game.

I have high hopes for the HTC Touch from Sprint this Q4. With 400MHz and 128MB memory, you can have much much more fun than Iphone.
[General Topics] Wolfdragon:
ok, enough's enough!!!

First i'd like to commend the Iphone on maintaining the whole ipod hype, good job there. but i ask this in the same breath, how is it to achieve the great feats it promises and it isn't even 3g capable??? GSM is kool an all but i've been doing some studying and looking for a new phone(thread here) and corrct me if i'm wrong but 3g is to enable for the faster capability used in web browsing and other wonderful "portable" internet fun. next on my hit list of doubts is the fact that history has repeated itself with the "non-user friendly" battery used in the 1st and 2nd gen ipods.

one very nice detail to the iphone is the music photos and video...hello I P O D:rolleyes: !!! needless to say all this means is you have an ipod you can shove a sim card into. backtracking a bit to the whole web thing... yeah it can load full pages but how many people are so deprived they need to see full function porn sites "a la mode"???

next...hard drive space. Now i must admit Apple beat everyone to a functional, popular hard drive phone. I must admit this is a presidence and a dream to follow, BUT... it's a hard drive wrapped in a device known for fashion not function and so in a year i can expect that other than traveling movie buffs most Iphone owners will have only used @ maximum 57% of thier drive contacts,pictures,music and movies included. and finally, now this to me is the kicker. Ease of use... has anyone tried to type a full message via email on this thing the "predictive" keyboard leave to no imagination as community "lingo" will not be tolerated and can get very frustrating to edit. Also on ease of use the O.S. X i believe is the best gui system apple has ever created and so seeing this in a phone from apple is more than a step in the right direction;) . anyone growing up with apple being in the PC community will realize that alot of apple owners have been guilty of "getting lost" in simple tasks, which is not the case here. on this i can give no downside and will hold on my pro list;) . BUT WAIT!!!...i got something... i remembered that apple has this ittly bitty issue with "freezing to death" as it were which as with the Ipod meant loosing all the music you spent hours affectionately collecting after a Itunes resync.:eek:

In ending i say this, If we look at the battle between the video ipod and the zune. it is clear that the zune outperforms the ipod on all levels but the ipod gets more recognition because it dresses pretty. the same can be said about the iphone...maybe in time, MAYBE we'll see that the hype just isn't worth it.

A lesson for apple pushers...

SUCCESSFUL???:rolleyes: Do you know PC history? If you did you'ld realize if Apple had been "successful" microsoft wouldn't be where it is today.

Here's a short PC History note in summary for ya...

PC DARPA to Today:

Chapter 1

After the success of the DARPA net in military applications and the release to the "wealthy"(at the time) Apple sought to make a "comsumer Feindly" version of the Gigantic machines the military had in thier artillary...hence being on call for having the FIRST P=personal C=computer (yeah they were first). However how useful was a personal computer if (1) it wasn't really personal and (2) it was waaaaaaay too expensive for average, everyday "people" to own. This is where Bill Gates (the apple evil genius and a teenager) steps in. he devised a way to create programs AND systems that were cheap enough to start the trend we now consider common place.

Chapter 2

in the efforts of the man now known as Mr. Microsoft computers now had the ability to cross-member i.e. parts from one system could be used in another and programs were inter-system commucable. While Aplle still a great company sitting on massive wealth due to (again) fashion. wasn't able to EASILY cross data from thier network to the now more standard microsoft network. Just to complete this task required great network enhancements and software upgrades which were in the simplest understanding "unneccessary". so the Government and populous at large slowly but smartly deviated from Apple,MAC and all things in thier group.

Chapter 3

Breezing through time we get to the last mmmm... 10 years where apple makes an astounding come back with the "G" systems, largely thanks to the expansion in movie and picture editting(apple got lucky someone had the money to try them first) the MAC was back. now with the "g" series on a push Apple execs decide to risk what is known as a Publicity Stunt. they Over promote the release of thier first MP3 player, the Ipod. IT WORKED!!! (again luckily) people were in the scene for something new with CD sales on the rise, people were collecting music on thier PCs and moving them to burnable versions as to get thier fav. playlists on the go.

If you want i could continue but to avoid looking like a bookworm(too late i know) i'll tell you this...i laugh at you and everyone like you who thinks people are "jealous" for smitting the Apple name. but really it's just us wanting more from a company that has just realised it's a good thing to play nice with everyone else. To your comment on a crash safe system i say...WTF are you talking about? You do realize until recently Mac had the highest rate of system crashes not involving a virus or intrusion? to be totally honest the only reason apple is so "virus free" is because almost everyone ahs a Microsoft branded device and the retards and criminals that make virouses want the populous not the fashionable computer illiterate few...one good example in proof is the System specific virus that targets Ipods through music downloads....you really think some X popping nutjob would waste his time on a virus that wouldn't be noticed?
[General Topics] Wolfdragon:
NO offence...

No offence UnderWaterdub as i love a good debate but to prove a point i wanna ask something. When you purchased your "macbook pro"(nice system by the way) did you buy it becasue of what capabilities it has and wat it can do, or did you shell out upwards of 2,000 smackaroos( costs more for a screen upgrade and slight cosmetic upgrades) because of a name and look?

I would rather say it is the best since the choice on Phone PDA OS are limited now, and people would rather choose the "safe platform" on which they can share with many others.

I think Palm OS was the best PDA OS, lean, small, fast, functional, usable. Unfortunately they had missed the critical milestone on PDA -> PDA Phone evolution, they miss the convergence idea, and have to gave their position in the market to Micro$oft. As desperate as they were, that they have released Palm Treo using Windows Mobile as the OS :eek:

As for the sake of our own interest as customer, I really expect some competition in PDA Phone OS. Even when I think iPhone as a marketing gimmick, I still have to thank Apple for "heating up" the arena.

If only Palm could eventualy found a breakthrough and added the pressure, I as a customer, would be very glad.

Full dependability on Micro$oft product is dangerous. Since their proven personality trait is when they enter something they want to take it all. Bill Gates will never satisfied until all the money in the world is HIS.

As in PC, the next thing we will see is a Lawsuit on Monopoly Practice when they incorporate every little software into their OS core in effort to get rid of every other small software house which have given us so many better alternatives.

You already see MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer and Windows Live don't you? Can't you see the pattern?
[General Topics] madador03:
Probably a stupid question, but I understnad that there is a way to hack the iPhone and unlock the SIM card so you can use it for T-Mobile or other carriers around the world. I assume thats not possible with Sprint since Sprint is CDMA T-Mobile/AT&T are GSM, right? What the hell is so different about the two? is it hardware? Is it theoretically possible to hack the iPhone to work for sprint? I think its a great phone, but I'd prefer a physical keyboard since I do a lot of texting and web browsing. I think its less accurate than a physical keyboard but I do love the multi-touch interface. So is it possible to work the iPhone (GSM) on a CDMA carrier? I'm sure the answer is no, but I wanted to know why. If an expert on the subject can reply with a detailed answer, that'd be great! unless the answer is simple. thanks a lot guys!
