RobBright 35 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Galaxy S. I just ain't digging it. Each to their own eh? There is an interface for everyone out there, just got to find it. Link to post Share on other sites

nippontiger 8 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Have to say I'm not so impressed with Siri - it does understand most things I say, but its functionality seems rather limited here - for example, it cant give directions in Japan, cant tell you the weather in Japan, cant find restaurants in Japan and although I managed to tell it to "remind me to call my mum when I get home" - it made the reminder, but didnt remind me when I got home! Also it doesnt understand some more complex commands - I told it "Its my mums birthday on the 10th december, remind me a week before" and it just made a reminder on the 10th of december saying "a week before". I doubt I'll make much use of it TBH. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 It'll tell you the weather... you just have to ask for specific cities. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Did you guys get the extended 2 year warranty thingy? I didn't because I am pretty sure, knowing myself, that I will get the next one when it is released in a year or so... Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Really liking this phone. It's a quality slab of kit. Again, compared with my old Galaxy, it just feels quality. Good decision. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I still can't get hold of an I4S, they're just too much in demand. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm just so glad I changed over to the iPhone. Syncing up google contacts on da veb, iPhone and iPad is very cool. Just never get round to doing anything like that before now. BUT, using Microsoft Exchange, is there any way I can get groups in my contacts on iOS? Link to post Share on other sites

kkk 7 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Can't say I'm that impressed with Siri. Isn't it even officially in beta? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Tell you what, after worrying that battery might not be good compared with galaxy s..... Totally unfounded. It lasts 2-3 times as long as galaxy s did. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Black Mountain, or indeed anyone else, head anything on when au might introduce those missing features? Still well pleased I moved over to iphone from galaxy. As per the tablets, it's just silky smooth and trouble free. I like. Link to post Share on other sites

Still well pleased I moved over to iphone from galaxy. As per the tablets, it's just silky smooth and trouble free. I like. Haha... The 'near future'... I'm guessing that means never. Sounds like Docomo will be getting the next round of iPhones so there's always a chance of changing when this contract is up (which I will certainly do if Au don't get there act together). Otherwise, I'm super happy with the service and phone. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Can you not get apps like Whatsapp, Viber, Tango etc? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yep. You can download those apps. But it doesn't help if other iPhone users don't download them as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yep. You can download those apps. But it doesn't help if other iPhone users don't download them as well. Just a verey quick question. What are you on about? Whatsapp is one of the hottest on IOS and Android, so too Viber and Tango. Just for convenience, Whatsapp: SMS, photo sending, video sending Viber: Voice over IP. Sounds like stereo phone calls on your Iphone Tango: VIdeo call over IP and 3G. Much faster than Face shot Time. If your friends don't have any of these, then.... you they must have something else. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What I'm on about is that every single iPhone user (should have) has iMessages and Facetime so you are sure to be able to connect with them that way. Sure, the apps you mentioned may be popular (and I've got each of them) but still not everyone has them. And they aren't all supported in Japanese. There is also the problem with there being no push-mail for the iPhone on the AU network. That means you have to constantly check your mail because you don't get a push notification that anything has arrived. None of the things you mentioned fixes that major problem.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Got to admit I'm really not fussed about any of the missing features myself, but they really should roll them out speedily and yes everyone needs to have them not just people who choose a particular app to download.

Summer? Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Summer would be a good time. But now that I4S is available locally in China, they can just keep selling millions of those and hold off the 5. Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 "Apple just set company records for net income ($13.06 billion) and revenue ($46.33 billion), thanks in large part to selling as many iPhones as there are people in California. Oh, and nearly half as many iPads, too. All of which contributed nicely to the $97 billion of cash and securities the company's sitting on. The 37 million iPhones are more than twice as many as they sold in the same quarter last year; ditto the 15 million iPads." So, quite popular then. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I thought my iphone has bricked on me this morning --- totally unresponsive, it was in deep slumber. Pressing the power button with the home button at the same time for 10+ seconds seemed to wake it up. Link to post Share on other sites
