leviramsey Posted December 13, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2009 It goes without saying that Linux-based smartphones are smarter than other platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaztonVilla Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 This has probably been discussed before.. I did the jailbreaking thing last night. Wow. Totally unlocked the potential for customising the phone. And now I've got free TomTom. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloingram Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 What exactly does jailbreaking allow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaztonVilla Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It allows you to install apps that aren't from the App Store. Apple are pretty strict about what they allow you to install on the iPhone. Jailbreaking gets around that. Also allows you to install themes and other ringtones. And if you don't like the jailbreakedness () of it all, you can just plug the phone into iTunes and hit restore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yup, jailbreaking is fantastic, need to jailbreak my 3GS but I have lost the link to do it. Had my 3G jailbroke for ages, its brilliant. Any news on Iphone 3.2 at all guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 16, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2009 You can install other ringtones anytime you like, you dont need to jailbreak to do that, I make my own and load them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the 3Gs was released with 3.0 OS in June. Usually there are whispers but I can't find a thing, although Flash has been mentioned. Stevenjos, its worth jailbreaking, honestly.

Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 One from the past: Konami sale (Silent Hill, MGS and others 59p Current fun: I dig it 2 - a game I love, the first one was brilliant and this takes it further, everybody I know who has played it, ends up addicted... Future load: N.O.V.A (Halo basically) released tomorrow £5.99 Others to look at; Driver - the classic car chase game makes waves on Iphone, its fantastic. Tiger Woods - best golfing game on it, only thing missing is the option to sink a birdie. Worms - the best game ever for multiplayer but even single player on Iphone can be fun. Pandemonium - Old PS1 classic, exactly as I remember it. Only problem is I find the controls a little awkward sometimes. Boggle - get that mind working, perfect brain training. Goals Pro - sensible soccer on the Iphone (needs updates but not bad so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Rumours of version 4 software doing the rounds already, some mention of a forward facing camera (but then Im sure the same rumour appeared before the 3GS was released) What would be the killer upgrade that would make you want to get the next version? Better screen, better camera, new user interface. People are expecting the next Iphone to be a major upgrade after the rather limp 3G to 3GS one this year.

The_Rev Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I was of the understanding that the leap from 3G to 3GS was much bigger than the leap from 2G to 3G. That's what I seem to recall tech blogs saying at the time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 She getting an Iphone? good girl! Just been playing N.O.V.A (best described as a Halo clone) for me its the best FPS available, its only £3.99 as well, bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCLaura Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I've had just about enough of the iPhone / O2. I'm sure it's more the Service Provider than the hardware, but I have had nothing but trouble; I'm on my third iPhone as well. I can't wait to get rid of the bloody thing. I love the concept and the aps, but it causes me nothing but grief and when I can't even get the net working, it breaks me. Maybe I just need another SP, but my love affair with the iPhone is well and truly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
