    Re: iPhone 4 snobs?

    Seems half the posters in this thead want to go off topic so I will too.

    I hear good things of the Blackberry but didnt like the older versions I used much.

    The iphone4 appeals with a big screen (great for web and email) and plenty of apps that only appear for the iphone (at the moment).

    Every HTC I have used is cluncky, slow and have horrible interfaces.  It looks good on a spec sheet but using it is something else.

    The Nexus1 (Google Phone) came close to a goer.  I love the idea of noise cancelling and had some good features but the hardware spec is a tad behind the current smart phones.

    The Samsung Galaxy S is top of my list at the moment.  It runs Googles OS Android and has an amazing screen that is bright, clear and works in sunlight.  Andriod apps are being written at a great rate and being open source and I expect will overtake the Apple store offerings in the future.

    For July the Galaxy S was an Optus exclusive, as of August 1st the other telcos are allowed to sell it and Ive been waiting to see what happens with the plans.

    So... just to get back on topic... the iphone4 does appeal and is not crossed off my list but the Samsung might be just infront.

    I REALLY need to ditch my Nokia N73 as it now needs a reboot nearly every day now and the speakers are sounding bad too.

        Oops, yes they do (and I knew that). I have edited the above, ta.

        I just found out that Samsung and Optus have extended their 1 month exclusive aaaarrrggghhh...

        On the back of a successful month of sales through Optus, Samsung have decided to extend the exclusive deal for the Galaxy S to be Optus-only for another month, ending 31st August.


        Just when I thought it was the week that I would bite the bullet, sign for 2 years and replace my dying phone. Not too sure the Nokia will make another month without getting thrown across the snobbery.

        Why is getting a new phone so complicated?

          I also want to give an iPhone a run and see what the hype is about.
          I think its a combination of loyalty of customers, exclusivity and good marketing that generates the hype around the iPhone 4, rather then the features it actually has.

          The Galaxy is apparently an awesome phone for those who dont want the iPhone. I think the reason the iPhone works so well is because Apple make the phone, the software, the hardware and control the apps.

          Ive played with several HTC phones at work a few times and I LOVE their displays and their design, however, the OS never quite seems to keep up with your fingers like the iPhone does.

                    Eyeing the same phone Andy and equally annoyed at the Optus deal. The problem is that I think it may well be more expensive when it hits the other networks - Vodafone suggested $0 on a $79 cap.

                    But damn it is a nice phone!

                        iPhone at risk from security flaw

                        Security firms are warning of a vulnerability in Apples iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod.

                        Symantec said that it could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of a vulnerable device.

                          Interesting, as this "flaw" has actually been used to allow for jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS and the new iPhone4 and iPad as well.

                          If you do unlock, its important to change passwords on the root and mobile directories from the defailt one. The methods use terminal and are easy to find. Also, a Cydia application exists to warn of all .pdf opening events and ask the user for permission. These 2 measures are enough to secure you from current threats.

                          For those who havent jailbroken and unlocked, nothing of real concern to worry about

                            Just ordered my wife one after much nagging. Got it for 163,000 Qantas frequent flyer points which we have no hope of using to fly anywhere. Should be here next week. Shes currently with Tel$tra 3G but that might change... depends on plans. Im not wanting to spend more than $50 a month on a plan.

                            Any tips for a first time iphone user? Im sure she will be looking to me for tech support!

                                Hhhmmm....Not true. It is Mobile Safari on a non-Jailbroken unit that is vulnerable to this exploit, as stated in the article I linked too.
