The Batman phone? Hehe... gotta admit. It looks like it's going to be a pretty neat phone. I'm not very confident Nokia is going to top the iPhone's user interface though. I never really liked the Symbian platform...

I see what you guys mean by annoying. Same questions over and over again eh...

True but still. It is a sticky after all. I wonder how all the info in here is going to evolve to next though. It's still a bit hard to search for certain things. LOL at your avatar mangoman.. ouch

zc_squash : You can find the anti glare matte version at Machines (Midvalley, Ikano, KLCC, etc) or Epicentre (Pavilion). It should cost around RM30-50 depending on which brand. Don't buy the cheapest They suck.

I bought and tried the matte version. Works great against fingerprints but I opted for the clear type instead because I'm anal about keeping the screen as close as it originally is. If you are in the PJ area, go and purchase from Machines Ikano. I found that the prices are lower there and you can actually ask for a discount. Get the number online and call before going though because they run out of stock sometimes.

Have you given this a try? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630 Report back if that doesn't work.

1. Data can be downloaded either through Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE. The bill increase is due to EDGE usage. The solution for this problem has been solved in the existing threads here. You can do a search for "data charges" or look in here for more information. In a nutshell, you have to install a third party app called Boss Prefs which enables you to turn on EDGE when not in use.

2. This should be a software problem. Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed. Do a fresh restore on your iPhone. After that upgrade your iPhone's firmware to FW2.1. It should solve the blackouts.

It's a known problem in FW2.1. Nothing we can do about it for now until Apple fixes it in hopefully FW2.2

Added on November 18, 2008, 2:54 amThnx davidgary73 for the update. All 3 are neat games for free too! Just tried them all out. Mastermind brings out the childhood memories haha... but I gotta say Fingeric is a real innovative game. Unfortunately my fingers feel out of place now.

Voice worked fine with me as well. Impressive stuff yea but I personally don't see myself using it that much...

Not a problem and yes as =Hanxz= said...most definitely on the FW.

As you guys probably already know, Google Maps Street View is going to be included in the upcoming FW2.2. My friend and I were just comparing the GPS capabilities of my iPhone and his Nokia N96. Of course his map is very impressive with the Nokia Maps software but I drew out my trump card and showed him what my phone can do.

Of course, the bad news is Malaysia's Street View will be quite a long time off from now unfortunately. When Google are you going to send your Street View Car to our country??

...oh and if you're wondering... I totally pwned my friend's N96 right there and then with Street View

Can't wait for Flash to come on board. A lot of websites use flash these days so Internet browsing on the iPhone is not 100% there yet.

Oh stringfellow that looks fantastic. Any improvements on the sms lag?

I'm holding off FW2.2 for now because the feature set won't be something significantly beneficial for me now. But hey I just might.. hmm

I c...I always thought the lag was a software problem because I only seemed to notice it after upgrading to FW2.1 ...

That's taken and cropped from the software update page on Apple. Those New Yorkers are a lucky bunch eh. They even have departure times for public transport. I wonder if the information is updated real-time by the transport operators. Like you know, "The Train is here!"

Added on November 21, 2008, 5:44 pmBlackberry's new phone called Blackberry Storm is not an iPhone killer but it has an interesting feature that i wouldn't mind seeing in the next gen of iPhones:



I'm guessing some sort of flex-display like what was mentioned in a recent Apple iPod Stick rumor.

bro baretta 4mb connection?

Once you jb, you can use a third party app called MapsOffline that will load map files (prepared by you) into the cache. There is a thread here somewhere that details it. Look up davidgary's iPhone for Dummies sticky and refer to item #24. Without that app though (if you don't wish to jb) yes, iPhone Maps will store cache for a particular area which won't be deleted upon exiting. However the cache saved is pretty much limited to just the map area shown on screen before you exit and not all that you have previously browsed.

Yea Adobe is prepared to develop Flash but Jobs says it is not meant for our platform because Flash is too resource hungry. I read that they will be looking into developing a stripped down version of sorts. Won't be anytime soon. There are currently a few 3rd party developers working on enabling flash videos on the iPhone though but even this is still in the early stages.

Are we able to use emoji here?

yea yea... I sense a TT coming soon
