The Iphone has so many fantastic free apps.... this one is perfect.

[ArsewithClass]

I love the new 3gs but now I have downloaded the yell.com app. Its fantastic. You hold the phone up and look around you, adding in the distance you want to cover & what you want to find. It brings up urls to the websites, the phone number, the name & area of the company. Click "call" & dial them. Its great to know which direction or where, what you are looking for is by holding the phone up and scanning your area.
The voice activation is fantastic apart from when you are saying turn music off and it nearly dials someone Its only happened a couple of times, but still is


Anyway, heres to apple & the Iphone

[candyflip]

There have been android and winmo apps that do this same thing for quite some time now. Wonder if yell.com has them for other platforms.

Most app devs have wised up to the fact that there is much more out there than the iphone.

iPhone is junk. Overpriced junk.
Mine is mounted & wired to the dash in my truck now as an ipod only. All it's really good for.

Obviously you do not have the 3gs... Unlucky to miss out on such a fantastic phone

"Unlucky"?

I can go buy one the same as you or anyone else. I've owned three of them by the way.
I have no need for 14,000 useless apps.
I need a phone that makes & receives calls.
No voicemail, no texting, no downloading, no bullshit.
Just a goddamned phone. And it's getting hard to find them.

I sit at a computer "bridge" (because it looks like something off the fucking Enterprise), for 20 hours a day 7 days a week. I do not want to walk around with a little rectangular piece of tech in my pocket that continues to connect me to that shit after I've walked away.

I feel people that do, are "unlucky" because they are unable to unplug even for an hour or two. If I want to stay connected when I go out.... it takes 4 seconds to unjack my laptop, stuff it in a bag and go.

"Unlucky".... ? Or "wise"? I feel no need to plunk down that kinda money on something just because the ones that have, have decreed it a necessity to be "cool".

I'm doin' just fine here with my regular no-nonsense phone and my computers.
(and as a real world comparison, I can buy 7 1TB OEM HDDs for my rackmount data cluster for what ONE iPhone costs.)

really great...

After reading a few sentences here, I was going to reply against what you said and as I kept ready you are SO FUCKING right. Same here, Online at my office and on my computer practically 24/7 and as I leave, I'm either on my iphone's email, online or texting.

We have come to that point that we can't get away for an hour just to clear our heads from our work.

I always say, we live to work while so many others work to live. Pretty Crazy!

Great post, you have a great point.

Understanding what ou say about owning a simply phone. So if a phone is all you need, why would you still not like the iphone. The most simplest of phone to use.

Too expensive to use as just a phone. There's no need to shell out for that, even though it's nice with the visual voice mail and all, to just be using it as a phone. I have very low phone volume per month.... far less than the minimal plan they offer which is 450 minutes a month.... I use about 10.

Thank you for that.... man.... it's nice to see someone understand.
I hate coming off as some kind of luddite, because I'm not....
just, in my particular situation, I NEED a few hours a day that's "unplugged" and private.... I can't live connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.... it makes me crazy.

He'll Im kn my iPhone right now and google has an app where you can speak into the search engine and it will bring up the site and you can click on the number. I used it last night to make a reservation

For me its the opposite. I can spend tons more time away from my desk with the kids etc because if something urgent needs attention the right people can text / email me while I'm out and about.

He means to make the actual call. I suppose you can use skype, but then you can use skype on the Iphone also. I even downloaded a 0800 freephone connection to link into your minutes every month.


BVF, thats what I mean mate. The apps link to the calling and you can use the voice connection. It makes calls simple. Finding places, especially when you are driving or a little pissed & needing a takeaway.


The Iphone

[DVTimes]

gary, see if there is an app to get you more than 5 sales each month.

[Adam X]

its called Augmented Reality... pretty cool shit

You look like you have a mental problem. Your sig is pointless & you really are mocking yourself. Most people must agree with the fact that you have a problem. An adult business owner acting like an prat.


I feel sorry for you. You have nothing. Get a life divvy

I have to be in an office most of the day for so many reasons. But when I am not, the last thing I want to do the couple hours a night I get to spend quality time with my kids is be on the phone.

So it works great for some people and takes away precious time away from others.

[ArsewithClass]

Indeed. I have a lot of gadgets. I have been using my SWAP. Its a pain in the arse but is pretty cool when your working & can continue chatting with your phone on your wrist. But there is nothing like the Iphone for communication in a general aspect.

Time is money and if you can make a call or make life simpler then the Iphone is really worthwhile though.

I got http://www.whatsapp.com/ yesterday, it's like BBM but works on iPhone and BlackBerry

Is this a free messenger?

I have downloaded skype & am prepared to download trinian but find that I would not want to follow work that much if I was away from the PC. Besides, with o2, you get tonnes of minutes of sms.

Basically, is it worth it? Do others need to be on the same system (whatsapp) to connect together?

[seeandsee]

i want old NOkias back!

[ArsewithClass]

I still have my 8800. Its a swish phone....

Dont you just love the phone that Dom Jolly uses, hehe!

It's .99c in the US and works a little different to other IM apps. This is connected to your phone number and has full push so you don't need to app open to get messages. Yes others do need to have it to talk together but can connect with all my friends who use BBM and will use it over text when I can.

I think it's worth it fr sure

[KillerK]

iphone is the best if you use it for what it does.

I suppose I should download it, ready. The 16gb is enough to store it & see if you want to use it at a later date. Nice one Adam

Thats like stating is there a point of buying one with anything?

Why buy a ferrari when a ford gets to there. Why buy a nice watch when a 1dollar casio tells the time.


The iphone is the bollocks with a logic in the way it works. Until you own one you would not understand. If you have only had the 3g then you can still not understand.

Why do you spell 'apologize' using the British variation?
