I am not having any major problems thread

[azhagan]

Hi everyone,

There always comes a time when forums for a new product get dominated with threads on issues and people overlook persons that have had no major problems with the product.

I have not had any problems with the iPhone so far. *knock on wood* That is not to say I won't have any problems in the future, but activation took 5 minutes, and everything on the phone is working as advertised.

Who else can join me in saying that they are experiencing very little if any issues.

[fourhand2]

ditto. i'm loving life with iphone!!

[JustinP81]

I can join you on this!

No problems to speak of... Everything seems good to me, so far.

My only complaint is of my own fault... I should have taken the time to clean up my contacts and input all my phone numbers BEFORE I synced the phone!

But oh well, that's today's project...

The phone works.
SMS works.
The internet works (and I can even click on MP3 links and listen to them!)
I receive e-mail. I send e-mail.
I can take pictures (and they look GREAT in low-lit conditions!)
Youtube (while still limited in which videos work) works, and works quite well.
Google maps? WORKS AWESOME!!

Still have to load in some music, but again, that's on todays list.


I. LOVE. THIS. PHONE.

[diabolic]

No issues here either. This thing is AMAZING. It has already exceeded the high expectations I had.

Took 5 minutes for my number to transfer from t-mobile.

Overall I find it hard to express how impressed I am with it. Best electronic device I have ever owned.

[kqwik78]

This phone is so AWESOME!!!

It far exceeded my expectations on what I can do. Every is so easy and going to app to app is fluid as shown on the videos!

Thank you Apple and Mr Jobs for great job in constructing this beauty!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stngray]

Very satisfied user here also. It is an incredible piece of hardware and software, and will only get better with future updates.

[coolbreeze]

No issues whatsoever here either. Coming from WM, it feels strange. I'm just waiting on something to crash, etc... :eek:

[freeflydrew]

no problems here... bouht 2 iphones, signed up new, swapped numbers, activated in about 10 minutes... also, only waited in line for 10 minutes to buy the phones
:-)

[Dermot81]

ditto here. No crashes no problems

[jangler]

I have also not had any problems, that is since i avoided trransferring phone accounts. I'm typing on it now.:)

[mattcleary]

It's working perfectly for me - email rolling through, activated, etc...

[slffl]

I got two perfect iPhones and activation with number transfer was super smooth.

Typing from it right now and its AMAZING!!

[ravenvii]

No problems here. Amazing phone.

Safari blew me away. Haven't really used the other features yet. That's for today!

[Dfndr90]

Super easy set up. Took 5 minutes to transfer everything form Sprint. I used it as my alarm clock this morning. I have both .Mac email and Gmail on the phone and have sent messages to and from both.

Matt...

[chriswheat]

Same here - loving this thing. Only problem I had was with AT&T and porting numbers and that was easily fixed in about 10 minutes with a phone call. Safari is amazing. Mail is great. Videos and pictures look fantastic.

[MacDryCleaner]

Out of the box and done with conversion in 10 minutes.

Works perfectly.

This phone is amazing, especially amazing to me is how it performs just exactly how it has been demonstrated over the ramp up.

All of my expectations have been matched by performance, ease of set up and ease of use. It's a fantastic piece of equipment.

[growinglogic]

I am very happy. The only issue was, yes you guessed it, activation and porting.

[note235]

Love this phone
Set up a new a new account in 15 minutes, activated and everything.
Heroes episdoe 23 and Spiderman 2
360 pictures
97 songs loaded.

[arcanic]

I had some porting problems, however, it works fine now.

I can't believe how incredibly awesome this device is! I LOVE IT. Money very well spent IMHO.

Arc:p

[TaylorB]

I haven't had a single problem with mine. Activation was easy and the store was very helpful. I'm so glad that I got this!

[lsfjosh]

I also have had a great experience. This product is amazing! Activation took about 3 hours but I expected that with thousands of people on the computers activating at the same time. I don't see the point in complaining. I even watched youtube over EDGE and it worked great!

-JOSH-

[TheScappian]

Totally LOVING it!!!! There are some minor things but nothing that cant be fixed or overlooked for now.

[earnjam]

Even better than I thought it would be! Activation went smoothly...took 5 minutes. Waiting for my number to port from Alltel, so no incoming calls yet, but I already made calls, sent emails and texts last night. EDGE isn't near as slow as I expected (although, wifi is clearly favored). I already put some music and movies on it, both work great.

All in all, definitely worth the money.

[codyclark]

The phone activated in less than 5 minutes, visual voicemail setup was a snap and this device is wonderful. It is hard for me to put it down!

[spicoli]

love this thing!!!!
Wifi is awesome! Safari is awesome! Phone interface is awesome! One of best features was calling my brother in California about 20 times while he was waiting in line.
Haven't done much with iPod features yet. That is today!
Edge isn't that bad (posting over edge now - SWEET!!!)

I'm lovin' it!

[rSm00th]

Word to that. iTunes was stuck, so I pulled the phone out of the cradle and started the activation process over and it completed in just a few minutes. Number was fully ported from VZW less than an hour after that.

This thing is 150% of my expectations! :apple: :apple: :apple: :apple: :apple:

[WillJS]

After a little SMS hiccup, I have a perfect iPhone. :)

[sparkomatic]

I love this thing and I'm very happy I waited for it. I have to say I was skeptical going in but being a gadget/mac freak... I had to have one and it hasn't disappointed me yet. Here are some of my observations so far...

Yes, there's going to be a better iphone coming out. I knew that going in so I'm not upset about it. I'm sure I'll get that one when it comes out too.

I thought maybe Apple was using some magic in their commercials and ads to show how zippy the interface is but it really is zippy!

From what I've read in first impressions, I wonder if alot of the people that don't like the phone are PC people? Seems like I see alot about how it's hard to navigate around or icons etc don't make sense but, as a mac user, everything makes sense to me. Just an observation.

I agree...there's definitely stuff missing and I am looking forward to a software update soon. Copy/paste, ActiveStink, and maybe a couple other minor things. The thing's not perfect but I do think it's revolutionary. Nothing that makes me want to return mine though.

Not getting rid of my BlackBerry for work anytime soon but this is going to be an awesome personal/weekend phone for me! Again, I think it's great :)

[sonictonic]

No issues here at all and loving it!

The learning curve on the keyboard, email, etc, is expected, but I am so very impressed at the simple fact that this is "version 1.0" and it is so damn good.

:D

[tjespo22]

ditto. i'm loving life with iphone!!


no probs, best product everi love it. i set it up and got a new number in 5mins

[Xtoo]

Not one single issue so far. I have been using the phone for a few hours now.
EDGE is not DSL but it is completely bearable on this phone.

I am either lucky or have innate skills... I can type with two thumbs as fast as
a cheetah runs and I have never ever typed any words on a phone before. The virtual keyboard is AWESOME!

I have a total of 350 contacts from my address book that I can access almost instantly! The email set up was a breeze and work much much better than I even expected. both .Mac and my business' POP accounts.

My iPhone is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F**K YEAH!!!!

[MBHockey]

Few activation troubles, then had to call AT&T to get my plan sorted out, but it is working beautifully. Ported from verizon, and everything works...except i wont get SMS messages from Verizon users till tomorrow.

LOVE IT! :D

[vander]

this thing is just great..my son and I bought two phones and setting up two under the family plan was a little tricky, but they are both working great...

wifi works without a hitch...Ive connected to three different networks without a problem

email is probably my biggest surprise and delight...i love the way its displayed and the amount of emails I can review on this device vs. any other phone cant be beat..

I wish edge was faster and see this as the phone's only real concern

overall, we couldnt be happier...because my entire family was on verizon, now I have to convert my wife and daugther costing me $700 in termination fees...but Im happy to pay it to get a phone that I finally enjoy using and everyone else wants...

[iSavant]

Everything is working as advertised/expected here... Nice!

[TEG]

Got in line at 5:40pm.

Was number 30 in line.

I had some minor trouble trying to activate it, but I cancelled the process and started again (this time with my old phone in pieces) and it worked instantly. Only had to wait like 2 minutes from activating in iTunes to being activated. Surfed the net for several hours.

My only problem now deals with the ISP I'm trying to use to surf on Wi-Fi. I have my Airport Express connected to the modem, I'm using NAT & DHCP, but somehow the ISP knows I'm using a new device on their system and want me to register it, but the username and password I was given don't seem to work on the iPhone. I have to call them and see if they can enter the MAC address manually.

[vespagirl]

No issues here. Got two for both in family plan. Activited on my existing AT&T account without a hitch. Except for the obvious issue of iTunes being slow, with everyone else attempting the same thing at once, it was seamless. I am in love with this thing and it has exceeded my expectations.

As far as acquiring said device, I hit the jackpot in terms of where to go in my area compared to other locations that were overly crowded. In spite of the availability being pretty healthy right now, I have no regrets whatsoever and I'd gladly do it again. I've waited longer and in worse conditions for things with less importance and rationale. I'm a happy girl... :)

[Monkaaay]

Once I got past the activation problems everything was great. I'm truely loving this phone. I'm posting from it right now!

[technicolor]

I am not having any major issues. I had one freeze up that was easily fixed. So far I am truly in love. Typing from the phone as we speak.

[dagrouch]

No problems to report.

Best of luck to those that do.

[JonboyDC]

Tiny hiccup with wifi, and I had to plug my dock directly into my iMac (and not my USB hub), but otherwise it's totally perfect.

[MattyBwrx]

Mine works great the only problem is speaker phone is so low its not worth using.

[zarathustra]

I was making calls, sending SMS, reading email and browsing with Safari (not necessarily at the same time :) ) by 7:15 pm. Considering I got home at 7 that's not bad at all.

Loving it so far.

[rayward]

I use a Dell PC (for now) and setting up my iPhone was a breeze. I think I must've been lucky and hit a lull in the proceedings over at AT&T because activation went through in seconds. I thought I couldn't sync my Contacts from Outlook, but they're actually in the Windows address book so, once I switched to that, they synced just fine. E-mail accounts didn't sync, however, so I had to add those manually.

My wife uses an Intel iMac. We knew to update iTunes but they didn't tell us that we needed to update Tiger too. Before we did that, the iMac kept thinking the iPhone was a camera, and opening iPhoto. Once we updated Tiger, the iPhone set up was fine...until we got to the AT&T part and got tripped up by that bottleneck. Activation went through fine this morning.

I have Wi-Fi here at home and the internet is just fabulous on such a little gizmo. Calls have been clear and strong, even on the speakerphone (which you can use whilst docked). E-mail and texting is cool, too.

Not exactly plain sailing in either case, but not too terrible. I wouldn't have wanted my Mum to go through all that, though!

[digitgirl]

No problems here either, boyfriend is kinda of upset at me because I took my iphone to bed lol his just jealous. I love my iphone :D

[NWAFellows]

No problems - going smoothly. Only hiccups are on my e-mail end (smtp server has been down, so can't send messages) but that's not an iPhone issue.

Everything sync'd over from my Mac, it picked up my WiFi and the EDGE network was really good this morning when my wife and I went to the Farmers' Market and I browsed the Internet while she picked out some flowers.

[joelk]

not a single problem yet. activation was fast and easy. phone works great (although looking forward to future upgrades in software).

Not sure why others are having Wifi issues ... mine works perfectly.

only issues are edge being a little slow and typing error correction doesn't seem to always work for me.

no complaints at all though.

[junebug1]

So far so good...and I mean really good. Activation was a 5 minute deal. Everything synced perfectly. Everything works perfectly. Can't wait to get some iChat going....please Apple please give me some iChat.

The only problem I've had is getting it back from people after they check it out :)

[ryanobjc]

I am having no problems whatsoever! The sign up was quick and easy. Number portability WORKED.... it took about 2 hours to get calls to my iPhone, and smses went to my old cell until I went to bed (1am). When I woke up, my old cell was 'dead' - the SIM was not being allowed to be registered on the network. SMSes go to my iPhone now, COMPLETE!

Where I live the EDGE network is pooting along at a slow 100kbits/sec. I am expecting 200-300 kbits, so this isn't super great right now. Although the wifi surfing is A+++ top notch so cool. Everything else is awesome.

Basically with the software upgradable model, anything you hate now is fixable. Unlike every other cell phone out there.

[synth3tik]

I am using my iPhone right now. This thing is just so cool.:D

[Rooskibar03]

Wifi works really well at home. 802.11g

Work Wifi has mac ip blocked so I can't get on till IT comes in on Monday.

Battery is somewhat of a concern.

Granted I have playing and showing this thing off almost non stop, but Im about toast on a overnight charge and its only 1:15

[CyberGreg]

Two iPhones, existing Cingular Family Talk. No problems from activation, to sync to usage.

The iPhone is totally awesome and it has changed the way I use my phone.

Edit: Oh and my work phone is AT&T so I've forwarded all my calls to my iPhone so I get to use it all day!
:cool:

:apple:

[BWhaler]

Nor I.

Minor issues though. The constant crashing of apps is a pain, but I am hopeful that Apple is nailing out bugs around the clock and we will get an update soon which stabilizes the iPhone.

Overall though, I do love it.

[hexonxonx]

From bringing my phone home and activating, porting over my old number and getting songs loaded, it was probably just over an hour. My number was working on my phone litteraly 30 minutes after activation!!! This was the quickest and easiest phone I have ever purchased and setup!

I love how the Ipod part has many more features than my old 30gig Ipod Photo, it's just simply amazing.

I have no problems!! I am so shocked when I see some of these threads where people are having problems and I know there are tons more who are happy with no problems.

The only two Apple products I own are my phone and my Ipod. Maybe in a few years after my new laptops break, I'll get some Apples.

[apeman32]

I would like to add that I haven't had any problems. My iPhone was ready to be used just minutes after I got home with it. The battery life has been much better then I expected. I have had no crashes or any other application problems. call quality is excellent, the ipod is great. the camera is amazing,

[Goldenbear]

Some minor annoyances that I hope will be fixed in a future software update, but absolutely ZERO major problems.

I was holding out for voice dialing, but I'm glad I didn't wait. I still think it's stupid to leave out such an important CALLING feature for a PHONE, but everything else works pretty well.

[Julian0714]

I'm joining this thread just to show how many people have had absolutely no issues with iPhone.

Activation in 10 minutes, since i'm on a Mac everything autosynced before i ever even took it off the dock the first time to use it. All contacts, calendars, music, movies, pics, it is very strange to have a fancy gadget with almost zero setup.

I have also noticed that for me, with usage including iPod music and video, as well as plenty of web browsing via Wi-Fi, I get about 3 days on a single charge! I am more than happy with that, especially since Apple included the oh so handy and handsome dock. I mean would you want to sit your iPhone anywhere else?

[Clix Pix]

Another happy, happy iPhone lover here! No problems to date except a couple of minor incidents of freezing, which were quickly resolved. I totally love the iPhone and am thrilled to pieces with it. FINALLY, a mobile phone that I will actually USE -- it is so much easier than trying to hit teeny keys on a cell phone! -- AND the internet at my fingertips, too!! I am just tickled with this thing!

[jecapaga]

honestly it has worked so far past what I thought that I am seriously excited about the first update. Sure i've had the ipod crash while browsing and the earpiece speaker could be louder but this gadget helps me tremendously. just last night google maps was a great thing. love this and i can't wait to see where it goes. And tonight at a party everyone wanted to see 'the phone'...they were mesmerized by just the basics....which is what will sell this phone.

[SalukiWildcat]

Another astounded, completely thrilled customer here. I bought a 4 gig and an 8 gig phone for myself and my girlfriend this weekend at the Old Orchard :apple:Store in Skokie. Between the two phones, 10 minutes to activate both, both are working flawlessly, with great reception and edge speeds.

This product has completely exceeded my already very high expectations for it. Thank you Apple for a great product!!

[gr8tfly]

2 perfect 8 gigs here. An amazing engineering accomplishment.

A couple of very minor hiccups with Safari, which will just improve with an update or two.

[joekix]

i'm having more of a problem finding a decent case for it.
