New App Alert!

Trivial Pursuit is now available. It's $4.99 but seems to be a pretty nice app.

Unfortunately, it was after I bought it that I realized I suck at Trivial Pursuit

I am getting tired of the included earphones but I am too busy/lazy to look for a good pair.

Anyone know of a pair of earphones with good sound quality, mic and rocker/mic controls?

 

[Anna114]

I don't know of any with controls or mic. I liked the cone shaped ones that Apple sold but they are discontinued. I got semi decent copy from ebay at $5.00 a pair. Apple sold them for $39. I need to find a new pair too.

Happy to have found you all!

I got my first iPhone in November 2008 when my great dane puppy at my BB Pearl...

I got my second iPhone in February 2009 when he ate my first iPhone.

Both times my phone was out of what should have been his reach...he is a stinking houdini!

Have you started to cut back on his diet so he's nice and hungry when the new iPhone comes out?

I got the Maximo iMetal iP-HS2 for Christmas. I like them. My right earpiece cuts out and I have to jiggle the cord. They were that way when I got them. I just haven't bothered to contact them for an exchange yet. Normally I'm using them at work and only keep 1 earpiece in so I can hear what's going on around me anyway. The main reason I picked these over similar ones is I like the placement of the play/pause switch. Most have it built in to the mic which puts it in an awkward location. The switch on these is seperate from the mic and further down the cord. They also come with 3 different size ear pieces. I can't believe the price on Amazon now! They were around $100 when I got them in December. At this price I'm thinking of getting a second pair just to keep at work.

I can't afford to let him eat another phone!

Had my iPhone replaced over the weekend for hairline crack appearing in the case, especially around the silent button and the headphone jack.

Apple seem to be very,very good at replacing them for this reason, I'd certainly advise everyone to check thier phones

Anyway....on an app related note I got WunderRadio which is awesome, Playman Track and Field which is great fun and also Car Jack Streets which is like the classic Grand Theft Auto games

Iphone 3.0 looks great... FINALLY Cut and Paste.

I haven't jailbroke my phone yet, but being able to tether has definately tempted me.

Jailbroke mine a while back, it really does open up all sorts of possibilities especially customising it's look and so forth.

Really need to rejailbreak mine to 2.21 as a good few apps are coming out now that require it

Ok, I feel like an idiot, so humor me, but what does 'jailbreak' mean?

I guess the easiest way to explain is it's like 'hacking' it - letting you do all sorts of stuff apple won't let you do like theme it (check out my screen shots in this thread) as well as stuff like video recording and mms messages. Also allows you to procur paid apps at erm, a cheaper price so to speak

Ahh!! OK! Thanks! I guess that goes for the Touch too?

I need to get a new phone (even tho I hate phones) In the past 12-14 years I have only had 2. How old is my current one? Its black/white, no picture, no custom ring tones. has the most basic of web access I really only have it for an energency and for a way to call back work if they page me, but the battery doesnt hold its charge any more and it gets really bad reception. Been trying to decide between an iphone or the g1 google phone.
