Also, Nokia E71 supremacy - still clinging to this lovely piece of kit. |
After reading all the reviews, and talking to you, I really wish I could have got that instead.
The battery life alone makes me envious. With all the iPhone can do, it is embarrassing how poor the battery life is. Common Jobs, it could have been that 1mm thicker for an hour or more of life! |

Download Boss Pref for all you custom toggle switches. After that turn off 3G mode & only use 2G mode. I hate 3G mode & rarely use it unless I'm doing some serious surfing.
Try it out & let me know.
I only use 15-20 % of batt life a day.
2G Mode & Wifi
Heavy Surfing, heavy Youtube, txt msging and calling. |

How much did you get yours for? Trying to figure out what's a reasonable price, the sticker price seems a little steep.
Mind you, it's less than the Treo cost several years ago, but still a little pricey. |

I saw the E71 last week for $50 + 3 year contract.

I'm keeping it on, and using it as much as possible for the first three months, while it is unlimited, to get an idea of how much I will/can use it. Then I will adjust my habits as I am cut back to 500MB/month for my usual plan. |

For sure no doubt about that ... I would be straming music just for the of it. Give a try of my settings some random day this week to see how much batt life you save. |

Gizmodo has posted another concept image for the iPhone 4G, and honestly this one does not look too bad. Perhaps the edges are a bit squared but the Macbook look to it seems to be a good idea. This concept is pretty enticing with features like 32 GB of storage, titanium body, 3.2 megapixel camera, and messaging light. The messaging light alone should be enough for Crackberry Kevin to upgrade from his 3G!

Don’t know if you guys noticed this or not, whenever Apple issues a new firmware update and claims it makes Safari more stable … suddenly the current ver you have Safari starts crashing? Before the update came out everything was smoother then now?
I suspect Apple sabotaging the old firmware to make you believe its true, especially when the new ver updates the baseband and kills yellowsnow.
Download Boss Pref from Cydia and turn on “Disable Apple Killswitch” to really block off Apple. Don’t know if they will block all new syncing from iTunes, but the first traces of the Apple Killswitch was found within one of iTunes new codes back then. |

Yeah zero interest in contracts or vendor-locked phones in general.
I also can't seem to find any information at all about the PDA functions on the E71. It just says it has "office applications". I'm really interested in the phone but it's not going to be of any use to me if there isn't a calendar, tasks and alert system that's at least as good as the Treo. And of course all of the lame-ass mobile phone stores only put shells on display, won't give you access to anything that actually works.
Has anybody used or at least tried this phone as a PDA? |

My old candy bar Nokia even did all the PDA stuff just fine. It synced well with outlook, which included tasks, calendar, and contacts.
I did read a couple of reviews (which I cannot find now) that said it was great at the PDA stuff, and was also able to edit MS Office docs. |
