for mms download the free MMS app
As far as forwarding goes I don't think it's possible (yet .. It's coming) on a virginal unjailbroken handset
Future updates rumoured in the next firmware include
Data push for all apps
Copy and paste
And proper mms
Amongst other goodies

Any other iphone geeks suggest some good apps ???
Speedtest is a good free app for determining network speed especially over 3g it's not always the phone being unresponsive it's just o2's shitty 3g coverage

The old iPhone and the newer one that came out last fall looked great. Nice features. Cool enough phone, but for texting it is garbage. I don't like the qwerty pad on screen like that.
Thanks but no thanks. If I want a touch screen Qwerty pad I'd go with the Storm, now that's a nice phone.
Since I'm a cheap bastard I'll stick with my Palm Centro, It does everything I need it to do, plus a whole lot more.
At least here in the States AT&T sucks ass, there network is complete garbage.

There seems to be a trend amongst non-business people to buy a BlackBerry at the moment. I'm going to start a trend to punch these people in the face.
Love the iPhone. I've never once forwarded a text (and people who do should be hurt), and MMS is pretty shitty so don't miss it. Hope they're included in firmware updates just so people shut up about them.
Best apps:
* Facebook (great implementation)
* Simplify Media
* Evernote (altho I don't use it enough, it's a great concept)
* eBay (recent update makes it proper better, really useful for keeping track of auctions)
Wish I had the 16gb but even if the next generation model is only basic upgrades (better battery, bigger drive, faster proc) I'll end up getting one regardless.

The Facebook app is quite well done, and I do enjoy the WootWatch app.quote:

The ATT network is superb IMO. I've travelled the country, including to Ohio last fall for my Bro's wedding, and had no issue at all with my old Razr. Been travelling with my recently acquired iPhone and have the same great coverage.

The missing features of the iPhone (cut n paste, SMS forward, mms) are well documented.
It's my belief that anyone getting or got an iPhone
Are well aware of this.
Why are they missing? I REALY don't have a dam clue
But some how I've managed without them.
I've even come to terms with the extremely crap batt life.
How I use the iPhone means I can't see another phone out there that could take it's place right now.

I really don't have a problem texting on the iPhone as I've got fairly normal fingers.
A mate of mine who has fingers like jumbo pork sausages admittedly did struggle, so I can see where you are coming from.

there is a copy-paste solution of sorts available for the iphone called pastebud. it works 'through a clever combination of web services and bookmarklets' so no app or jailbreaking is needed to use it. its free, or pay depending on your privacy concerns.

A decent camera is all that's missing for me. I'm not a camera freak, but I like to take just (literally) a couple of pics on a night out or when I'm around and about.
2Mp was the best last I looked on the iphone. Pathetic!
Not wanting to derail the thread but I've been very happy with my Sony C902. It's more "phone like" but has plenty of features, the camera is pretty good, it looks sexy (and isn't the size of an 80s Walkman) and there's assloads of software out for it, including the sextacular MyPhoneExplorer 
The iPhone looks pretty snazzy but like the iPhone clones (like the Samsung ones) it's still fiddly when using that touchscreen for certain tasks and it lacks features that some mobiles have had for years.

How does this work, I'm sure some of you guys might know the answers. Sprint is using the 3G network, How do these other companies fare in comparison like Virgin Mobile or Boost mobile? I hear Boost uses the iDEN network which is part of Sprint. I have no idea of what the difference is. Anyone know?
My buddy has had Helio for a couple years and has had great service since day one, I know they piggyback off the sprint network but what network are they running on?

I just wish Verizon would pull their heads out of their asses and get me a real fuckin phone that isnt a goddamn RIM Shitberry gimped to hell and back. I WANT SSH ON MY PHONE MOTHERFUCKERS!

Meanwhile, we’re in the middle of testing our PwnageTool and QuickPwn tools, which will work with iTunes 8.2. The jailbreak of course continues to work on 3.0 for all devices it ever worked on, thanks due the Pwnage 2.0 technique released last summer. Our tools will be released no sooner than the Apple release (just in case!).
Ive ordered the new one, coming tomorrow. Just installing itunes now ready. Starting to regret ordering it now.
Got the phone activated this morn
So far so good but im never updating on release day again ever!!!
Jus been reading over on apple discussions and there 000's of threads reporting bricks,phones hanging and generall b.s
perhaps i was lucky
Crump you wont regret it once u got it, yours should ship with 3.0 aswell

Hmm we will see! SO this itunes business, i've got more than 32gb of music, do i have to manually select (and deselect) songs to go on the phone?
NO NO the best thing to do is organise all your tunes in seperate folders , you then add individual folders to itunes
try and make sure all your songs are tagged corectly otherwise it gets very messy !!!
When adding a compliation album >right click >info> select part of a compliation for all songs otherwise itunes goes crazy and adds them all as seperate artists and albums!

Indeed, it's really fucking difficult to brick an iPhone. Anyone who thinks they have should just google DFU.

Cheers Darlo and pHo, that makes sense to me now. So i'm going to delete everything from itunes and then only add stuff (to itunes) that I want on my phone, that sound about right?
I always said i'd never get an iphone/ipod because of all this but my phone contract had just expired so i thought i'd get one, the unlimited data comes in handy.
No, you don't need to delete anything from iTunes. Make a new playlist called iPhone, and drag a bunch of songs into it from your main library. Then when the phone is connected click the Music tab and tell it to sync to that playlist. Then everytime you sync it'll make sure the device is up to date with whatever is in the playlist. Means you can choose what goes on and off it when it's not even hooked up, which is useful.
You can sync more than 1 playlist if you want, I just use the one cos I have an 8gb 3G and I dedicate about 4gb to MP3, 2gb to podcasts and the rest to apps.
If you don't want to sync to a playlist, just click "Manually manage music and videos" on the summary tab.

The MAC 3.0 Jailbreak is out.
