the only cons i see it:
- its not free
- iphone notification sucks

i use whats app and think its pretty good. def a cooler looking and more functional app (send pic/vid/vcard/gps-coord) than bbm, i like how it scans your address book for contacts, no need to enter pins. there is a version for BB so you can chat with BB users, i havent tested this yet so i cant comment. my copy of whatsapp was free from a long time ago, now its a couple bucks. the push notifications seem okay with me, what didnt you like? the only issue i have with whatsapp is the lack of group chats like bbm, you can send a broadcast message but you can not create groups...  | |

also check out hello messenger, i just got it the other day and am currently testing it. this app goes the pin route like the BB. but instead of being hardware based the pin is randomly generated for each user. this app doesnt allow you to send vid/vcard/gps in chats but does support groups. it also has a "buzz" feature, just like the bbm "ping". theres a free ad supported version and a paid ad free version. there are also blackberry and android versions coming, hopefully you can chat across all platforms. facebook integration too, check it out. http://www.hellomessenger.com/

Why not use MSN?
It's free
You can chat with people no matter what platform they're on - phones, PC's, even XBOX
There are plenty of apps to choose from. I hear the new official iphone one is great

theres a lot of reports of fido stacking contracts as usual when people are doing early HUP to the new iphone 4. this conflicts with what was posted on twitter by rogers. so what is the deal with this stacking, are the contracts supposed to be stacked or not?
i have 3 lines and would like to HUP all to the iPhone 4. two have the iPhone 3G and are up for early renewal in september 2010. the other line has the iPhone 3GS and is up for early renewal in august 2011. in my case if i upgrade to the iPhone 4 on all lines, which ones will have stacked contracts?

There are plenty of apps to choose from. I hear the new official iphone one is great | none of the msn app is fast enough and it just doesn't have the phone messaging feel too bloated imo. I was in the "why not just use msn" camp until my gf "accidentally" purchase whatsapp and i try it out. the only time i use msn on my phone is to communicate with people already sitting on a computer and they type like this
hi
so
what
are
you doing
hahahahaha
i'm at home
i can type so fucking fast
hahahahha
very very annoying when your on a phone.
the thing i don't like about is not really whatsapp's fault. the way iphone handles push notification just isn't very good. for example it can't display multiple notification

i donno about msn, i havent used msn messenger in over five years. i text and email most of the time, sometimes use aim/gtalk through a jabber client. aim is also available for the iphone. the biggest drawback to using any instant messenger is trying you get your business contacts to use it, most people prefer the look/feel of a BBM like client, theres a sense of security and professionalism. also some people dont like to mix personal IM with business. i dont think msn does groups does it? with BBM you can create conferences (group chats by invite) and permanent groups where all members can chat and receive updates.

Dropped my iPhone 4 this morning from about 2 feet onto concrete. Landed face down on the front screen and it cracked. I booked an appointment at the Genius Bar and they replaced my phone with a new one  The screen isn't nearly as strong as the 3G or 3GS imo

I didn't know any place would replace a damaged phone that was caused by the user.

So apparently facetime is causing text messages to be sent to that number 447786205094???
I called in to Bell just to check and sure enough I have 3 charges at 25cents each for international text messaging to that number...
I did use facetime a few times too...
anyone else here with the iphone 4 care to check?

hey guys, is this a common thing for the Cydia JB?
After updating the PDF Loader update and other updates, there is a green line; almost like dead pixels on the top of the apple loading screen.
is this normal?

I can confirm this. But it only applies if u are using a unsupported carrier or plan? Few nite ago I cut up mg hk pccw sim card to put into the ip4 and immediately I got a pop up saying video calling will have international charge. Something of that effect. I ignore it and continue to pull the pccw sim in and out of the phone for testing. Check today on my pccw account and I just got charge a few bucks for SMS.
So yea lesson is turn off your FaceTime before u put in sim not supporting FaceTime. Doesn't have any of that on fido though. I'm not sure if it only occurs on cellular provide that isn't compatible with iPhone or if ur sim card has a plan that does support it. I was using the pccw pay as u go but i know for sure pccw in hk carries the ip4 Posted via RS Mobile | |
