i not sure if i ask at right place or not, i refer to apple online store Singapore one, i saw that "When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it unlocked.", what mean unlocked ? it mean it not contract based and can sign up for service with the any carrier only right?
any other diff between contract and unlocked? and it apple iphone 3gs only or also include iphone 4? |

i juz read this from gsmarena.com
QUOTE The latest iPhone 4 supports Wi-Fi b/g/n standards. Though we didn’t have a Wireless N router for testing, we can happily confirm that the Wi-Fi connection is much faster than that of the iPhone 3G over a G connection. What’s more, if you press your palm against the iPhone 4 Wi-Fi antenna – the metal strip on the upper left hand side of the phone – you even get a signal boost. That’s exactly the opposite to the issue we’re having with the cell signal. hahah. anyone tried it? |

QUOTE(shdwkillr @ Aug 12 2010, 05:55 PM) @stringfellow You're right. I personally think that he's one of the most dedicated guy in AppleByte forum.First of all, I follow lowyat forum AppleBite section quite often, and I really much appreciate for all the posts that you have contributed and honestly I would say you're the most "Apple-guy" I can see in this forum. BTW, return to the topic, haha: 1. I've tried on Foursquare here in Singapore and everytime I search the place where I was at that time, I can only see one particular Mayor in that place and no one else in the list.. I'm not too sure how ppl can add me as friends if I check into that place, or vice versa, how I add people checked into the place? 2. Nice sharing on Twitter, actually I'm kind of keen to enter the twitter-sphere too. Been wandering around for some time and still yet to figure out what sort of things/people to follow, maybe because almost nobody whom I know uses Twitter.. LOL 3. Opps, I forgot to mention in my last post too about this.. I do read tech news daily too (BTW, I agree with your point that tech news don't lie like politics, haha).. I used the Reeder app on my iPad to follow all the tech news on my Google Reader account, honestly, I love the simple interface of it and I am seriously considering to buy the iPhone version of Reeder. I think it will is worthy especially since now I have the data plan with me, which means I can browse the news wherever I am.. 4. I have heard of the Layar app quite some time ago, just that during my 3GS days it's kind of useless without 3G on-board.. so is Layar by far one of the best "augmented-reality" app? (Am I right that it actually is an augmented reality app?) The Buuuk app that I mentioned in my last post is somehow similar to Layar in searching for restaurants BUT, the augmented reality function of it is kind of lousy and not accurate, as far as I find out about the app.. haha.. My sharing.. Now lemme list mine as well. 1. Productivity - GoodReader ($0.99) allows you to view almost all the popular files on your iPhone (Without the editing feature like QuickOffice). 2. Social Networking - Facebook, Twitter, IM+ (Try out IM lite if you don't wanna spend so much on this as they're almost the same), Skype and Whats App ($0.99) 3. Reference - Dictionary.com and WeDict (No longer in the App Store if I'm not mistaken) 4. Lifestyle - CineApps which helps you keep track of all the showtimes in most of the cinemas in Malaysia 5. News - Engadget, Eurosport, CNET, CNN, Time Mobile, NYTimes and Y! Finance 6. Games - Doodle Jump and Fruit Ninja are my recent favourites ($0.99 each). lol Those without prices are FREE! See, iPhone is more than just a gaming device. It can be a very productive tool which helps you in your daily life. Hope it helps! This post has been edited by fuiyo: Aug 12 2010, 11:12 PM |

I normally read my PDFs using the default iBook app using my iPad, I have yet to try viewing PDFs with the iBook on the iPhone.. who knows maybe it's great as well? I will try it in a few days time and maybe will give a review after that. (Or maybe someone else has got a comparison between viewing PDFs with the iBook and GoodReader can give a review.. haha..) QUOTE(inachi @ Aug 12 2010, 11:08 PM) ya until now i nvr heard any antenna prob from my friend in sg.. but some of them complaint that there's a small blue mark on screen. Erm, to be honest.. I'm using the iPhone 4 SG set.. well, I can recreate the signal drop problem covering the antenna area BUT, like what others have said, this is a non-issue as I have yet to experience any drop call and like what Apple has suggested, if you really worry about the problem, just use a casing.. BTW, I'm using my iPhone 4 without any casing but only with the PowerSupport Crystal film on the front and back (not forget to mention, the PS film is GREAT!!), and I love my iPhone 4 very well!!

Been having random shutdown problems with my 3GS on iOS4.0.1. Never had that problem with 4.0. Hope 4.0.2 solves this problem.

just received an iPhone 4 by encik posmen just now... so frustrated.. after playing for 2 hours, already feel boring.. i admit it has the best screen for smartphone on this planet.. the size is thinner.. facetime, and one of the best camera resolution, but, is that all?
for those who haven't owned iphone product yet, iphone 4 is perfect for you.. it doesn't impress 3GS owner like me (at least)..  |

Anyone using silicone case? My silicone case is affecting my camera flash. The case camera aperture is fogging my camera flash causing the picture to appear washed out. Have to take off the silicone case each time I am using the flash. Any better silicone case to recommend?

IMO, the best part of iphone is the graphic, no matter for apps or games. This is the part where no other smartphones can challenge. the things that i like on iphone 4 is purely design and display...thats it... * The most useful apps for me are Foursquare, TrueHDR, Google Maps, DublinBuster (provides bus schedules n stations) and LondonTube QUOTE(aruja_69 @ Aug 13 2010, 01:38 AM) iPad and ip4 are totally different bro...I have an iPad, Samsung Galaxy X and SE X10....still I am crazy to get ip4......depends what u want....big screen and a bit heavy....or better screen and light... Its because I already have 3GS which I can still use all apps for my daily life. iPad can replace my netbook for foruming, facebook, and surfing/youtube-ing while I'm at home.

QUOTE(DAVIDGARY72 @ Aug 13 2010, 09:47 AM) typical areas that iphone and its iOS4 excel at you forgot to mention gyroscope. 1) Apps - if u can think of a need, there is already an app created for it. 2) Touch UI - natural, responsive and simply brilliant. 3) Retina- best display on the planet. 4) Aesthetic and ergonomics - most beautiful piece of volume manufacturing design on earth, and superb handling. OT : nice nick you have there.  |

Hi guys,
I just for my first iPhone and have been playing with it a lot. I now got an app called fstream which will enable me to listen to radio through the internet. How do I set Malaysia's Hitz and Mix fm into it? Where can I go to find the settings required? |
