I don’t think anyone on a 3g phone can even get 3g service through tmobile so probably not so much in the USA. Overseas, yeah, probably. I still think the first gen design was a lot nicer. The display contrast is better too (or better white levels) ---

my biggest problem is that im retarded when it comes to any apple products. iv taught myself how to do everything to it, jailbroke it, customized, added emulators, a few games, and mewseek to download music. im sure most of you guys are laughing saying, it was easy, but for me, i feel like i finally just finished a marathon. my problem now is that a few of the programs i installed dont work. they start up, my background flashes on the screen and then it returns to the homepage. anybody else have these problems? i also have lots of dead pixels on my screen, not a huge problem because i will be upgrading to the iphone at christmas, but is this a common problem? ---

no dead pixels on either of mine. as for the apps crashing have u tried rebooting the phone? that will usually take care of it. what programs are doing it? cracked, retail or homebrew? ---

brothers in arms, i downloaded that from cydia, i think. a program called customize, and another called boot neuter. i want to say they are cracked, but could be wrong. ---

I do agree with the sluggish UI response… its kind of a pain, but its manageable Blocked outbound email is not something the phone is at fault for… its the ISP of the wifi provider. use 3g to send email.

x3 on the sluggish UI… it gets annoying sometimes, but like ILC said, it’s not a deal breaker. Just wish more devs would take it into consideration or at least wish apple would give the option to clock the CPU higher than what it is to compensate for it > [@bobbyg1243](#): > > brothers in arms, i downloaded that from cydia, i think. a program called customize, and another called boot neuter. > > i want to say they are cracked, but could be wrong. ah, from appulous? there are 2 patches that you need to apply I believe to even run it, so that may be your problem. As for customize and boot neuter, I have no idea… don’t run either of them. ---

the glove thing is just something you have to deal with. If they had made it pressure based, opposed to capacitive, it would of ended up being a totally different phone IMO. Theres no way it could of been as useable as it is with that kind of setup you can buy a stylus for it though if you’re a glove wearer [http://www.tenonedesign.com/stylus.php](http://www.tenonedesign.com/stylus.php) ---

Or if you hit send and you’re moving from wifi to 3g to E…I commute on a train every day, so it constantly changes. MS Outlook can manage it. No connection? It gets stored in Outbound until it can go. It’s not the ISP’s fault. It shouldn’t go to a big black hole.** > Again having to log into something isn’t the fault of the iphone.

I suppose if the earpiece wasn’t loud enough I should get a hearing aid, or if the screen was blurry I should buy special iPhone enabled glasses? “Special gloves” to use a phone is really retarded. I can use the touch screen bank ATM or the touch screen navi in my car with gloves.

If you are jailbreaking it then you have no reason to complain becuase apps that use the mobilesubstrate will lag the phone. Running 2.2 I have had the thing run over a week without reset. Also, its a SMART PHONE. A computer in your hand with a GPU, CPU, WiFi, Bluetooth, Accelerometer, GPS, and 3 different cell chips. It uses power on top of the touch screen and backlight. You play games, browse the 3g internet, or use push email you can kiss going days without charging goodbye. ---

It uses power on top of the touch screen and backlight. You play games, browse the 3g internet, or use push email you can kiss going days without charging goodbye. That’s the big thing I have to remind myself. This is my first smart phone so it took a while for me to get in the habit of powering off my phone every few days. My old cell would go months at a time without a reboot, but it was just a phone. If you remember to reboot it every few days it definitely runs better. ---
