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.

yeh i got the blackberry pearl and was thinking of going the blackberry storm, but unless ur using push email there not the way too go...

now im keen on the n96. but @ $20 a month just for the fone on a $49 cap its fair hefty!

i have a iphone 3g

i imported this special vinyl to cover the phone it - you CANNOT tell it has a transparant cover on...

its scratch proof...ive got a key and scratch the F^CK out of it, and NO scratches....slid it across concrete - no scratches..

and no it doesnt stop it from smashing into pieces if i drop it... but its scratch proof - and doesnt leave finger prints...and still able to use ALL functions... - called "invisi-sheild"

got it from america...

iphones are rad, i love em imo! :P

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
