re: The iPhone thread

I know only some features apply to the 3G but most of them should be ok on gen1 phones as there isn't a h/w difference apart from the 3G capability

MMS aint working for me

Maybe if I call up and moan enough O2 will let me upgrade to a 3GS without me having to sell a kidney on the black market.

re: The iPhone thread

There is a total of 100 new features and changes.

Mms
copy & paste
spotlight
landscape keyboard
shake to shuffle

just to name a few

O2 have mentioned on Twitter that there is a backlog of mms activations but they will catch up within an hour or so.

Text message / mms sending adds a nice retry function that was missing. Seems faster sending.
Share contacts easier (like vcard)
Recent call page updated icons
search box at the top of email / calls
Spotlight search left off the home screen
it's now a hold / double tap to screenshot because of the hold to voice on the 3gs
Stocks gets landscape view plus you can touch to view exact price and double hold to view ranges
voice memos is pretty cool
Landscape text and email
a2dp (stereo bluetooth)
forward / delete single messages
auto fill on forms (no logging into cf each time)

The download, verification, and update went quickly & smoothly for my iPhone 3G.

After the phone restarted post-update however, things slowed right down.

Activation took a fair while, as the server died, so all my phone was capable of was emergency calls.

After the activation finally went through, it then took even longer for the iPhone to actually sync, as iTunes "could not contact the server".

Eventually though it worked

Mrs D updated hers less than an hour ago, and everything went smoothly from start to finish.

MMS doesn't seem to work properly yet for me though - I can send but not receive.

re: The iPhone thread

Upgraded this morning, and immediately rx'd an MMS saying "All done. Picture messaging is ready to use."

re: The iPhone thread

I didn't get the "MMS is ready" text until after I got home from work this evening.

Sent some tests... seems a bit flakey at the moment.

---------- Post added at 23:25 ---------- Previous post was at 23:12 ----------

Anyone know if OS3.0 has improved the camera in any way on the iPhone 3G? I'm sure I read somewhere that it was meant to improve the image processing or something. Obviously nothing as drastic as upping the hardware to 3MP with AF like the 3G S, but I was sure I had read that there would at least be some sort of software improvement.

re: The iPhone thread

Well... My orignal iPhone has a total of a handful of improvements

Main ones are copy/paste, landscape keyboard, voice memos, call icons, spotlight search. Thats about it.

How do you screenshot your iphone... I managed to do it accidently once but i've tried the double tap or tap-hold and neither seems to work?

I can't believe that original iPhones are not capable of MMS - as it runs through GPRS/Edge and not a 3G connection! Its really not nice of apple to limit the hardware like this when its completely capable of such things as MMS and A2DP Bluetooth!

Hold the home button and press and release the standby button on top.
