I should plug what i support too:



Broccie, when your out and about, you might want to try this: http://iphone.tvcatchup.com/ Freeview TV channels on the iPhone for free, all live, and darn good picture quality  :y
Be careful going that on 3g - you'll get near you're 'unlimited' data quota ;)

If you have a MCE, look into Remote Potato - iPhone app out soon, I've been lucky enough to Beta test it. Will stream anything from MCE. To watch live TV, though, you have to tell Remote Potato to record it, then you can immediately start streaming it

Plus, being serious for a minute. I can finally get a decent sat nav app on a hand set.

Is tomtom still the one to have?
I have SatFree UK, which works OK, once you get to understand the interface.  I also have TomTom Western Europe, which most will be familiar with once they get to know the iPhone's different layout. Then I had to get iGo, as that was the only one to cover Cyprus when I went in the summer.

Mrs TB has CoPilot, because that was the cheapest at the time.


All are much of a muchness, once you've learnt their interfaces...

ive got a samsung omnia but its getting on me nerves a bit now. must admit i do prefer nokia or sony ericsson
Would the iPhone 3GS be of use? Cheaper, basically the same as the 4. Slightly lesser screen and camera. :-?

But what ever happens don't get an n900....


....actually, got one here going cheap in a couple of days.   ;D

I actually prefer the 3G-S, the 4 is just not as nice in the hand as 3G. With OS 4.0 on it as well, 4G was not offering much more except a slightly better camera and a faster chip.

Think I will wait for the 5G and blag one get one from work
Battery life, speed and screen (in that order) are enough to make the 4 a better phone than 3gs for me...

They're quality bits of kit, I'd be lost without mine :y Doesn't seem a bad deal either :)
Yeah I thought so. Best I could find, bro in law mentioned the business plan on 02 and I never thought for one minute a business plan tariff would be cheaper. WRONGGGGGG !

Only slight complaint is it's 24 months, but the upgrade after 12 months helps there. Had to be on 02 no matter what.

Now who can think of a really really good way to destroy an n900. Thinking along the lines of microwave/heat gun/oxy tourch/or something air bag related! ..... Wonder if it will fit in a clay pigeon shoot.       PULL..... ;D
Microwave is no fun, dies too quickly. Apparently ::)

Testing their susceptibility to ESD is always satisfying...

as is "What if the battery put out a few too many volts?"  ::)

Did it spend a ruh-heeeeleay long time backing it up, by any chance?  If so, no ;) (Mine did that the other day - hard reboot of the iPad, delete the backup file in iTunes and sync & backup again and it's back up to speed)

But yeah, all the same as the iPhone

iTunes is the weak part of the whole gayPhone/Pod/Pad setup. iTunes really is the work of Satan, and crApple should be castrated for managing to turn that buggy, useless, crapy piece of software into something even more buggy, useless and crappy.  And talk about bloated.

Needless to say, I try to avoid gayTunes as much as possible, and think the retard Jobs should be made to eat glass shards until he gets his company to fix the heap of shite.

I'm sure many a Mac owner has said this to you, TB, but iTunes on the Mac is nothing like iTunes on Windows - it's really quite decent on the Mac (has never crashed on me, doesn't seem to eat resources, and so on)..
