Yeah i had BSE screen protector too and found it to be too grippy
if you want to pay $20 (for two), apple store has anti-glare ones
im using these right now and it is really resistant to finger print oils/smudges and smooth gliding for games.
I ordered couple from dealextreme just to see how they were ($2 each) but didnt have a chance to try them out, but the texture seems to be the same as the ones from apple store

^^ UI take about 20 sec to get use it. Its not bad, but NO C&C FTL.
I did notice the GPS signal seems to lack 1-2 sec behind especially after turns. and the voice prompt for turning can't be adjust and right now its like at 200m, needs more warning.
It does have weird routing doesn't seem to know how to avoid heavy, i check off no U turn and on some place it constantly tell me to U turn. In fact i told me to U turn immediately after getting of a hwy1 ramp on willingdon once  .
As it stand its not worth the 79.99 it asks for. But hey I appulous ed it. Cant complaint abt freebies.
Unfortunately it like the only choice right now and although it is sucky its still better than xGPS the JB Navi App.
If you are JB, Get it. You never know when you might use it, but I wouldn't depend it as the only source for long roadtrips.
TomTom please get your shit together

Hey guys, we have a lot of world-travelers here, maybe someone can give me a pointer: a friend of mine just went to France with her new iPhone and she's having trouble sending emails. She's connected to a WiFi hotspot to save her data plan, and the mails just aren't going out. She's connected to the hotspot, she can surf the 'net fine, but she gets "Cannot access Rogers Wireless" or something like that when she tries to send mail.
Is it the SMTP server settings? What should that be?

If you got a dull scratched chrome bezel, try Nevr-dull polish. It's like a cotton wadding. Can't take all the scratches out but mine looks way better now. Find it in the automotive section of Cambodian tire. www.Nevrdull.com

or, tape off the screen and plastic backing around the bezel and go at it with a scotchbrite pad, comes out looking like brushed aluminum.

Someone actually makes something called the Bezel Blaster http://www.ipodobserver.com/ipo/revi...bezel_blaster/
It seems to take the chrome look away, but it takes out the scratches and leaves a brushed metal look to it, which is pretty cool.

RedLaser app.
Pretty cool barcode scanner app that compares prices for you. Even though it's not greatly useful, it's still a very cool toy app that you can play with
Free if u're jb'd. I think it's only for the US AppStore if you want to get it from the AppStore. http://www.modmyi.com/forums/iphone-...-barcodes.html www.redlaser.com

Is it the SMTP server settings? What should that be? | her email account is from who?
normally internet is internet, whether from 3g or wifi. the email client and server (say gmail, etc) don't know or care which is being used.. as long as they can talk to each other.

Slides very smooth unlike the ones that came with the case, those were too gripy.
