Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Hi friends.

At first I welcome all who purchased iPhone3G in india.

I have also got one 16 GB model (white) from AirTel. Believe me, the interface is really addictive. Nothing can be compared to the marvelous interface of this phone.

I would like to discuss all issues regarding the phone in this thread.

And for god's sake, please don't post comparisons with other handsets like N96, HTC etc. I am bored discussing those. Also no debate in pricing of this set. After all, good things obviously comes with a price.

Hope to hear more from you guys.

Congrats brother..

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Here is a pic taken on iPhone today morning

[aryayush]

How can you not find them. You just enter the names in the search field and there they are. Unless… are you using the Indian version of the iTunes Store?

Here are the links to the apps:
Shazam (awesome, awesome app!)
Labyrinth LE

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Thanks Arayush for the help. I think i have some troubles using iTunes

I am using the indian store... so could not find Shazam.

[Power UP]

Tanmay Satpathy , i think you should have bought the Black colored iphone.

[dreams]

Congrats on the purchase..I am using Opera and unfortunately not able to view your attachments Tanmay.

[anonymusneo]

i cant view them either

[Tanmay Satpathy]

I am using Firefox, and the images works friends.

Dear Power Up... I have already made my homework on iPhone. Already visited the links before taking this decision. So as I mentioned in the first post, no talks on the pro-n-con of iPhone. This thread is only to discuss the post-purchase issues of iPhone.

@ superczar and aryayush, the Labyrinth LE is really addictive. It seems like a real board with a steel ball

Give me idea on other apps.

[iMav]

Ah! A much needed thread!

Tanmay i think you have misunderstood me.
I was not saying that iPhone is bad, but if there is an option for u to swap for a black colored iphone then you should probably avail it.
After all one of the main features of iPhones is showing off, now you wouldn't want to show off an product with cracks on it in plain sight. But black should conceal most of them.

But if u love white color then its okay

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Dear PowerUp, after close observation of the pics on the original post, i feel that those cracks can appear in two scenarios :

1. Either the person dropped the phone (believe me, the phone feels very solid). See the crack appeared in the corner and near the headphone jack.

2. Or, it must have been overheated (caused while using the phone for a long time with the charger connected)

[iMav]

Well I would suggest that this thread should be considered like the Official Apple thread - a free for all brawl!

Just so you know, Apple will replace either the phone or the defective part if a crack develops within the first year of purchase. So he doesn’t need the black model just to hide the cracks.

but what would he do after the first year ? swat flies ?

[aryayush]

That’s the standard warranty on almost all consumer electronic goods. It’s assumed that if the product worked just fine for a whole year from the date of purchase, there wasn’t any manufacturing defect in it. After the first year is up, you’re pretty much on your own. Apple does, however, offer warranty extension of up to two years (from the date of purchase) for an additional fee.

Dude, it has Safari. What would you need Opera for? And no, it’s not.

No, you need to use the included data/charging cable.

You either download them directly on the phone (over EDGE or Wi-Fi) or download them in iTunes on your computer and sync the phone. They show up on the home screen.

[gauravsuneja]

thanks
so what is the function of inbuilt bluetooth then?

[Tanmay Satpathy]

@Aryayush

Congrats on the smokingapples initiative.

After a long gap (may be 12 yrs) this is the first device of apple i am using. I am truly amazed that they have still got the ability to create hypes on the look and feel of their prodct. I really remember Mac's impression in the MS DOS/Win 3.11 era.

[aryayush]

You’ll love Mac OS X and the Macs of today if you like the iPhone.

Enabling you to connect to Bluetooth headsets to make and receive calls.

[superczar]

iMav and other guys, please don't turn this into one of those countless anything-Apple-needs-bashing threads

Back to topc, Am looking for a notes app that can synce notes from my PC
Evernote works, but since it does not store the notes locally, It's a pain waiting for the notes to be fetched esp. when in a weak signal area
Any good alternative apps?

Also, did anyone get Cro-Mag racer and/or Crash Bandicoot
Wondering which racing game to plonk my money on

Offtopic again, Arya, IIRC, you weren't a big fan of the iPhone last time I was arnd here on these forums, what happened in the interim

I hope you are aware of the Official Apple thread on the forum. I am referring to that thread, as the thread starter said this thread is for post purchase discussion.
