err slightly higher than that la, it is around 1.97 according to yahoo finance. and normally u'll pay around 2+ when u buy the currency from bank or so...but i predict this is a very short term thingy, as NZD always fluctuate a lot...+ this sudden low rate might be cause by the NZ reserve bank cutting OCR late last week.

I got this issue before too.

But all i did was paste a layer of sticker at the back of my simcard. No problem ever since.

becareful of sticking stuff at the back of ur simcard, I think 1 forumer here had his sim card stuck in the iPhone because the cellotape melted

hello,

is there any apps for iPhone that we can sync to our outlook calender using bluetooth which samsung smartphone has on it. With this software we can sync our calander where the phone able to detect the laptop bluetooth +-10m meters away from our laptop and don't need to dock our phone and use iTunes to sync with it.

Cheers

don't think there is any apps that work with Bluetooth...afaik the bluetooth on iPhone is purely for headset.
you can try Mobileme, it will push update ur calendar, mail, bookmarks and contact via wifi or cellular data network

most probably NZ's iPhone is the easiest to obtained straight out of retail store as compare to the other countries mentioned biggrin.gif
so their guide will be longer than what i wrote

Good day folks,
Having read some locked threads recently, i cant help but notice a certain type of replies thats been lingering around this area, essentially, its got to do with this notion of;

More money = iPhone 3G, limited money = iphone 2G.

No offense to anyone, but i strongly feel that it (pertaining to only that statement above), is the wrong way to go about it. Of course if someone wanted a 3G, but could not afford it, it probably is okay to say that to him if the fellow isnt overly sensitive and think that your reply is condescending, but what if its the other way around ? Would you know ?

Personally, i know plenty of people who could very well afford 3G's but chooses and opts not to, due to numerous reasons which i would not get into as i do not wanna stirr an already boiling pot of oil.

When someone asks for an honest opinion, and that statement above comes about, i feel that it isnt the right way to go about it, instead, the people who lead this forum, who have earned enough respect around here, are the people whom the commoners and the curious seek advice from, should properly tell them this instead;

What do you personally want and need out of the phone ? Instead of that statement above.

NO DOUBT, he should have searched prior to posting, but it still doesnt warrant that response above.. I believe 'potion' posted the best response in a particular locked thread, and this should be the way IMO.

I hope this will be viewed as constructive criticism, and not as a personal attack to anyone, as i believe this is a community that is growing at an exponential rate, we wouldnt want to lose any prospective new fans in the process, if we are serious about the community growing.

Its choice, personal needs and beliefs, over trends, and peer-say, which of course is in my humblest opinion the proper way to go about it.  smile.gif
Cheers

I highly believes that this post is referred to me. In my defence, yes there are many ppl who are able to afford iPhone 3G, but yet they still prefer iPhone 2G (and I would say that most of them have already own iPhone 2G prior to the availability of iPhone 3G, like urself, Sorry if u feel offended).

But you can't deny that monetary issues are still one of the most important factors when ppl who are NEW to the product line are considering for their purchase, hence my response for that locked thread. and if you have noticed, he/she had BUMP a sticky thread for GOD knows why, and for that I would assume he would have gone through the stickies and if he is still in doubt, he can always post a question here, or the stick thread that he BUMPS, if he were to post the question at the right place, I'm sure I would provide a more constructive answer to that.


as u can see from this locked thread, price is still a main issue here (I'm however against the way that the thread starter had structured the replied, as the difference in price is due to the Outright purchase and the tighter control of Cellular service provider on their subsidized iPhone 3G, and not because of the huge increase in iPhone 3G price point)

Though, still hope Apple will fix the "showing number" instead of name issue, and also add in Malaysia as Country in Contact.

I wonder if using iPhone 3G overseas with overseas contacts number, when calling it shows Name or Number ? hmm.gif

Does that has something to do with Region in iPhone Firmware ?
*
using iPhone 3G in official launch country will not have that problem*...as iTunes will provides carrier update to the iPhone.....

*i do face that problem before while in NZ, probably because that i change some of the file after jailbreak...after restoring with a fresh JB-ed firmware it seems to work fine again.

Some unpleasant news.

iPhone firmware 2.2 reportedly locking unlocked iPhones

Other than your usual SIM card unlock the only place to get an officially unlocked iPhone is through Hong Kong and parts of Europe.  Unfortunately for those who spent untold amounts of money to get an unlocked iPhone 3G, it may all be in vain. The new iPhone firmware 2.2 is reportedly re-locking those iPhones.

Users in the Apple support forums are saying that if you purchase a legally unlocked iPhone and then updated it in another country the device may become locked. “I bought my iPhone 3G legally unlocked from HK, and I just upgraded to iPhone 2.2, but it seems my phone is locked now. On the phone it says emergency calls only and iTunes is saying not supported SIM.”

If you have an unlocked iPhone and have not yet upgraded to the iPhone firmware 2.2 we suggest holding off just in case this ends up being true. You don’t want all that hard earned cash going for nothing. If you simply can’t wait for the update, try getting your hands on the update from the country your iPhone came from.
*
this will happen to those who thought their iPhone 3G is so called "legally unlock" from Hong Kong, and in actual fact, it is those locked iPhone with turbosim implanted in them and sell them as "legally unlock iPhone" (as indicated by their iPhone model in the very same thread).

Nice work detective... psyeo...you should change that title to Apple CoverT instead of Apple ConverT now. wink.gif

I didn't go and check out your theory though. In fact I remember there were units from a few different countries apart from HK that were affected too. But hey...Turbosim is possible..

haha, in that Apple support thread, I think I saw models from US and Canada claiming to be the legally unlock HK/AUS/Italy set. There is only 1 person who complaint in that thread about his AUS legally unlock phone problems, which is not related to locking at all smile.gif
