Pretty annoyed with Optus atm. I have had a phone with them on a $79 cap plan for about 8 months and wanted to upgrade the the iPhone. Happy to pay any outstanding handset payments on my current phone and sign up for a new 24 month contract of the same amount with an iPhone. However they wont let me without charging a cancellation/exit fee for my current plan.

It just doesnt make sense that they wouldnt allow me to start a new contract of the same value which would lock me in with them for an even longer period than I currently am. Im not fussed if I dont get the iPhone on launch day or in a month or so. But having to finish out this contract over the next 16 months before getting one is pretty bloody annoying.

Well not going into what it does and doesnt have, personally I own an ipod why would I want another hybrid with a phone, it's stupid and hardly practical

So you don't have to carry around 2 separate devices

The 2 things I really like about the iphones is the ease of use of the internet client, and the way it does text messages, instead of one message on the screen at a time it shows you the whole message history with the person your replying to. I hate always having to save and go back to see what the txt I am replying to said.

And as Adz's said, you can't beat the size/quality/ease of use of the touchscreen.

I stand by the fact that no matter how much functionality you build into a phone, without a decent size display and a GOOD way to manipulate the data and input info they are fckn useless. These pissy little keyboards just suck.

wise words!

someone came into the studio with an iphone today... had a play with it and its pretty cool but my fingers are too fat to type, I kept hitting the wrong letters! I'm sure you would get better at it but it shat me up the wall...

the GPS/map stuff is farkin cool tho, I'm considering it just for that... and as I'm a Mac user I would prefer it to the Nokia

haha yeh its just my opinion though as i use my camera alot on my fone and am happy with the past/current sony ericsson cybershots i have had.

of course it isn't all about the mega pixels unless you want to print better quality on massive sheets of paper but it wouldn't be a cybershot fone if it didn't have the best of the best sony camera technology.

touch screens frustrate the crap out of me. i had a htc and it took too much attention to do simple things. plus you have to look at it to see what you are typing... for a lot of people it is second nature to type without looking... you dont miss it till its gone.

If they are susceptible to gravity and force impacts like my other phones - then all manner of pretty icons and slidy finger things will not save it from being a useless pile of technology within 3 months of me owning one.

no bluetooth is GAY1!!!!

not half as gay as what happened this arvo. Guy rang me up from the store this arvo to say he was just putting my thing through as the systems were back up. So went down there only to find out my credit check had failed. Hung around in the store for an hour and a half trying to find out why, after multiple call centres and 4 people just hanging up on me I got told there was/is no reason for it to fail it just did. And they can't do another one for 3 months!

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
