what a so big deal by answering or not to answer??? you may choose to ignore/answer or referme to any other posting. I only found out that you need to tell grand mother story why you buy,how you buy, where to buy etc...... before post any question....
My HK freind just bought for me as a gift, that simple.

Oh brother......... do you even research before buying one? I'm not going to answer this, somebody else do the honors. It's too much effort and work, just to answer someone who dont really appreciate the iPhone 3G. Why are you buying this in the first place?
EDIT:What the big deal about us answering it like this, we are not Applecare or their Support Center. IF you really need those answer, you would already know that you can refer to their own webpage for specs and the online pdf for details specs and user guide. You ask us questions that had been addressed from millions of times before, and yet you come in with that snotty attitude.

this would happen if u never do some homework.. haihzz

i know i know
coz he can tell others.. " i got iphone 3g "

myb his boss gave it to him for work.

ok for the answers,

1. iPhone doesn't access the simcard directly for phonebook, but u can transfer the contact from the simcard. u can check the method inside the user guide,
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf
and go to page 97 in this user guide. it's that easy.
and nope, the contact list in the simcard is not gone.
i just sync my Microsoft Outlook contacts+address through iTunes. it's more convenient than simcard, as i keep more details in contacts.

2. yeah no MMS, no video conference. not a perfect 3G phone at all (before the million ringgit sales man come and ask you to sell it to him )


and yup, string is right. why MMS while u got EMAIL?

Apple dont do MMS, they do Email. That's the reason there is an Email option right after you snap your pics. MMS is so 1990s.

OMG!!

i mean..i m honestly speechless..

Many noobs easy to get iphone than after a few day start complaint cannot do this...bla....bla... but people who are really hardcore (can say fan boy) with apple until now still cannot get iphone 3G...hisk....isk...isk

Are one of the spoilt rich kids? heheheee... no heartfeeling ok!! peace!!

He just buy for the sake of "Oh the new iPhone? I got one now in my pocket."

Show off maybe?

I guess all new owners of iphone will tend to be asking loads of questions. Maybe we or admin should do a sticky and have all the noobs read before posting questions.

Well... if they want they can give me their phone and I'll swap with them a phone that is better, can read from sim card and even do MMS!!!!

no need to. just point them to iPhone user guide pdf and iPhone guided tour video.
plus, instead of reading FAQ, they'll still ask the answered questions.

And still asking why cannot do that,.....this.....bla....bla....

Hahahaha..ok then. Thanks

Cheers

what a joke man.

please refer to the first post for the reply. thanks for the effort by wasting time here

you are welcome.

And my answer to your your answer is in my first post here. Thank YOU for wasting OUR time here. My God, this kind of people also got aaa!?

Some people dont even know how bloody lucky they are when others here are looking half-dead waiting for their iPhone 3G. And these patient folks probably deserve the iPhone 3G more than you, spoiled brat!

Your questions is already answered by LaskarCinta.

Please read what he wrote.

very nice, stringfellow. very nice

You see, when you got something for free, the effort of getting it reflect the amount of work you've done to get it. You dont feel responsible about getting it, you feel no attachment or guilty conscience to it, nor do you feel inclined to make full use of it, since it came to you with zero effort.

Simply put, when you get something for free, you dont appreciate the amount of work being put into it, hence you could care less about putting in a little effort on finding what the item you free can do. Because it is free.

wtf?! ppl already being helpful(not me) but u never thanks to them despite being smart

this is scuks to the max

i never said i will not appreciate those who answering me... i am much thank you to them. Below my question already a big thank you word...
the issue is i am new to this forum and just ask a two line of questions, in return what i get???? bombak and bombak... i am not the only one who ask a question which may or may not answer in the FAQ.
a simple example: one question been post is whether can the US version phone be use in Malaysia......
this been anwser in the FAQ, but still appear in the post. So???
The iphone seem must only deserve to have depend on the effort you spend, the amount you pay or the time you consume by study the phone???/

Hey Eric, sorry for all the bombardment dude... It's tough answering questions that can be found on the net or in the forum. It's not that we don't wanna help. Just need you to find it before asking in the forum.

We are will to help and many of us do take the time to read on how to go about pwning iphone and such..

Cheers bro

BINGO! For once, you got something right! Want something simpler and less hassle? Stick with the iPods.

BTW, we dont study iPhones, there arent any universities teaching iPhone 101 around here, we do it out of love or necessity. The necessity because we need to know what to do when times like these, like what is exactly happening with you here, happens. So that when that happens, we dont PANIC or ask questions that had been answers million times over.

Good suggestion!!!

Wow....summore got part 2....drama meh....this thread is great man..lol

there are only essentially three alternatives for you if you do not wish to spend unnecessary time to study or research about your iphone.


1. sell the iphone to someone else and use another make (i don't mind purchasing it off from you)

2. pay someone to spoon feed you (assuming that your time is too precious compared to ours)

3. learn to do some prior research (no complaints from anyone)

ArGhHhHhh..... I just manually merged something like 800 contacts only to realise the phone doesn't recognise (012) 123-4567 format for incoming SMSes AND calls!!!!

It looks like I'm going to have to re-change the damn formats to +60121234567. I been told DiGi's format differs slightly between the both. Now, is there an automatic way to change the formats

kak, salah parking la.

now your rabbit look even better....i like the way you reply...lol

@nokia2003,
I thought TS started the thread to ask for some help and then it became uhm... well, U know I know lah...

And just as I was going thru it, I stumbled upon the problem with this phone number format *siGh* so I thought I'll just 'tumpang' and mention/ask here lor!

Not everyone take it easy likes you......
somes want to exchange the phone with me , somes ask me to stick with ipods etc...
why dont ask someone you think that NOT DESERVED to drive the BMW 5 series to get down the car and ecxhange with MYvi???? Is it must be a racer to own a sport car?
i take it as my mistake for not go through this forum and ask repeat question, the problem is those replys seem like i stepping on their tail...
As i said , you may choose not reply or refer me to FAQ, the worst is i am not the only who ask repeat question and my treatment seem the only one asl those repeat question..

this be my last reply...

thanks for those who take their time to explain to me...

oh thanks. new rabbit by the way!

Yes , you do not deserve to drive a BMW 5 series if all you do is step on the gas without changing to higher gears. Ever wonder why Ferraris takes extra precautions when selling their higher end models to customers and making sure they CAN drive it properly? It is because of the same thing.

Same analogy applies here.

I may be harsh to you, but this is to stem a growing trend.....a growing trend of people coming in and expect to be spoonfed information instead of being responsible enough with their iPhones by knowing the basic things they need to know about it.

I use the same analogy here just like the case while I was in Cairo and during my trips to India. You see lots of homeless lining the street, but you better dont take pity and start giving one homeless money. Why? Because once you start giving one homeless money, more homeless will come out of the woodwork and ask the same treatment from you too, in the end you'll be overwhelmed under the whole pressure. Your heart may mean good things, but the homeless people here would not care about that, all they want is their share of the same money you gave the previous homelesss.

It may sound cruel, but that's the only way to keep things under control around here.

w0ot.. after all u guys still wanna reply into this thread? as TS said, if dont show the correct answer, no need answer. just leave it.. let teh tread drown slowly

not really. the mentality of these handful minorities are just wrong, to begin with.

If you let it , what happens when the next noobs comes along and do the same thing? They dont pay me enough to stay here and repeating the same reprimand again and again.

There need to be basic etiquette and knowing one's responsibilities when it comes to owning an iPhone.

Happy updating

well, to keep us from keep firing on em', just ignore.. as simple as that
later, when there is another innocent n0obs asking the same old question.. we just ignore again & let others to answer

what dya think?

But they'll keep on coming , if they see people keep on accomodating them by spoonfeeding them answers. That has to stop. People need to take responsibility for their iPhones!

hehee.. funny
seems they arent stopable. i tot there is no Q/A & FAQ topic, but there is. how come they never read it before asking all those simple question?

haihzz..

Word Up! and also Well Said!

With great gadgets comes great responsibilities. Might as well get yourself a generic phone.

Is it just me or are the younger generation less tech savvy??? Maybe lazy to try?

I mean last time for me to jailbreak my ipod touch I took like 2 days of reading to build the confidence (Ok yes I know I am slow). But the bottomline was I did it by myself without asking a question.

This post has been edited by MangO: Aug 13 2008, 11:17 PM

some people just lazy to do a little research on their own.

they dunno or dun realize that self-research improve urself.

yes! thats the way to the correct path

doin' own research is the BEST way to improve.. really

@neekun,
Done! muAhahAHahAHha.. Damn.. I need to learn how to use the Automator!!

@stringfellow,
You're having fun aren't U?!

@ Tink
Not yet, not until the 16th anyway.

@stringfellow,
U know what I mean, I'm sure - DisneySea's not something I've heard off before; similar to DisneyLand except on the water?! *grins*

I agreed on what String said about this situation.... it's like 'attacking' you with NO MERCY !

Mostly newbie in forum.... found that it is indeed a spoonfeed place to be.
I believe there is always a FAQ or README BEFORE POSTING section for newbie.
Yet, most newbies take it for granted and ignore it totally.

that is the 'attitude' or 'characteristic' newbie has mostly.
Well.... it will be always the BEST OPTIONS to search / read first before posting any questions that sound so FAQ.

Forum is a knowledge-sharing place to be... but I believe it is NOT a spoonfeed shelter... so DO some basics research won't harm, rite ?

well, thats all i can think for the time being

otak short already, coz tonite was LOL nite

very true.

aiyak abg string ... already taken your high-blood pressure meds?

Day after day, this place have become more like a 'kaunter pertanyaan'. The n00bs come, ask questions and cabut . Don't even leave a trail of dust behind. Maybe the mods can change the sub-forum to 'iPhone help center ... press button to get your number'.

Today is to be declared "Shoot the n00bs" day.

hahha..poor noobie..

i tink this sub -forum lots of threads as threads are repetitive
