ive had a 3G iPhone since the day before it was released (iPhone wiki scroll to bottom of page and read Honourable Mentions LOL)

its the best phone i have used , and i have used pretty much all the recent phones as i work in a phone shop.

i recently jailbroke my iPhone as i got sick of the app's fking up and not working all the time , didnt fix the problem but now i have mms and video recorder on my iPhone.

i can also change the backgrounds/themes/sounds EVERYTHING...

if you want some pics of what can be done to the iPhone to make it better let me know :yes:

i have an iPhone, and it has not missed a beat...

like i convinced mitch to do with his.... the first thing u need to do is hack it tho... only a muppet would pay for applications, after its hacked, its a whole new toy.

you can load in new themes, put on applications that apple did not want ppl to have (like sharing the 3G connection with a laptop, and the ability to record video for instance).

everything is easy to use if u dont have fat fingers.

if u get one, first stop is whirlpool.com, you will get easy to follow instruction on how to hack (jailbreak) and heaps of awesome applications. (like stumbler plus, and spoof mac. with these and a wee bit of know how you can get into "secure" wifi networks).

i dont regret getting it at all, im with optus on the $129plan, i get 3Gig of internet, and unlimited calls n texts

i like my iphone. it's pretty average as a phone having no mms, but sms and making calls is simple enough.

The reason i love it is because i fly and sit around airports a fair bit it's great to be able to watch a movie or listen to music. Like last week i was in sydney for a day so on the plane i watched the new californication it makes the time fly (you see what i did there?) and i then get to watch shows i usually don't have time for.

I have had a iPhone since september last year. I tried the HTC touch diamond running Windows Mobile. What pig it was just to navigate through the menus.

MMS? Pffft who cares when you have email. I was using MMS heavily before I got my iPhone and I don't even miss it. Huge range of free apps for it. Google maps just rocks. Trust me I just moved to melbourne and have found it invaluable when I or someone else needs directions. If you want to you can easily PWN your iPhone to customise it. I have put a couple custom ring tones on there without PWN it. I don't have the net at home, I just use my iphone for surfing the web and getting my mail and it works reliably every time.

Can't really say any more than if you want a device with Full multimedia capabillity with telephone and internet capabillities, then get one.

Yeah HTC Touch Diammond runs like a pig. Very laggy. Samsung Omnia is what I'm going to get. Touch screen, no f*cking around to get MMS and stuff (no breaking the warranty), 5pm camera and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 like a breeze.

iPhone, you can barely customize anything and is tied in with itunes and all that rubbish. 2mp camera fails. iPhone is for all the 'cool kids', Blackberry Storm and Samsung Omnia is for the real men!! Hahaha

i was in the market for a new phone about 6 months ago, just when the iphone was coming out. was thinking about it, but crappy camera with no flash, no mms, no bluetooth, and the keypad for sms is shit house. and just thought why compromise on the things i use the most.

ended up getting the lg viewty, coz it had everything i wanted. u can get basically any app on that u can on iphone, if ur code savvy u can access the system files and hack around to do other shit too (where with the iphone ur locked away from any type of customisation). saying that, the viewty is far from perfect. even being 5.0 mp, the camera is very average. the user interface is very laggy and clumsy. but txting is awesome, full lay out keypad long ways across the screen, so u can acutally type without ur finger nails like the iphone.

yeah I have been doing some research on the Omnia and it looks very good. Has a lot of good features that the Iphone doesn't.

One big issue is battery life. I use my phone a lot, and from experience people I have spoken with said you have to charge an Omnia EVERY night, where an Iphone will last for days - even with heavy usage. But then you can buy spare batteries for the Omnia and change them, whereas you can't on an Iphone.

So many things to weigh up.

I was playing with my brother-in-law's Iphone today (the guy that owns the silver Series 3 R33GTR 'VSPEC-3' that people spot down Port Adelaide direction all the time). I liked it a lot I must say and was extremely easy and fun to use. Plus he has bought games like 'Crash Kart Racing' for $7 and it runs super fast and is awesome fun.

Also my missus is looking like HAVING to get an Iphone as it is increasing ly likely that is what her work are going to set up to run on their VPN at work. SO it would be easier for me to have the same phone and accessories.

Plus one of my real desires is to be able to dock my phone and use it as my alarm clock. With an Iphone there are hundreds of devices on the market to charge and utlise it like this. They seem to be lacking for the Omnia at this stage.

      That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      +1 for Jesse Streeter. Over the years I have got a bunch of stuff from him (usually wheels, but other parts like aftermarket braces and coolers). He was very good with shipping things to Australia. He may be able to send to other countries.
