Well likely that this thread will be closed but they will bitch about MMS being slow. That little lag when the status bar hits 95% that lasts about 5 seconds ... that's what they'll bitch about.

That and MMS pictures are print quality. I mean, you own an iphone so surely you should not have compressed images sent your way.

Profiles
Integrated inbox
Battery drainage
push not working
MMS not going through
3G network speed
tethering
OS glitches/"features"

Really.. the list is endless

I bet you any money it's gonna be .. in this order:

1.) Better Battery Life

2.) Background Applications

... This push notification bull will only satisfy the pitch fork carrying customers for so long ... until they remember why they were angry in the first place.

Are Apple giving every iPhone user a free upgrade every year to the latest model on Keynote day?

oh do American users officially get MMS today?

Old news, had it in the UK for ages. Nothing special, though something interesting was happening.

Better notification system
True multitasking
Customization on lock screen. Like weather info, Twitter, email, etc.
Unified inboxes
LED Notification
More leniency with app approval

That's on my wish list :rolleyes:

There is plenty to improve/add even after MMS such as multitasking, better integration of calendar, contacts, mail, tasks and so on...

You can already do this, just search around. Doesn't have to be jailbroken either.

So after later today, what are iPhone users going to bitch about? And what are other smart phone users to make fun about the iPhone about? It'll have MMS, which is the one last thing that the iPhone couldn't do that every other phone could do.
I'll bitch about my phone locking up. I'll bitch about it needing to be rebooted everyday because it will randomly stop taking and making calls. Thanks, 3.1!

OH RLY?!?!

I thought you were fed up with 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 after Apple didn't listen to your dev reports. Also, I though 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 ran like crap on your phone that you stayed on 2.2.1.

I thought you were never going to upgrade to and 3.x.x firmware. All these things you said and now you say you never had a problem with 3.x.x firmwares?

Which one is it Spaz?

Up until a few days ago, there wasn't a 3.1 jailbreak. So since there's a way to jailbreak 3.1 now, I jailbroke it and made it run faster. So I'm not as upset over 3.1 anymore.

Also, last night I tried replacing the UIKit.framework folder with the same one from the iPhone 3GS and the buttons still look the same. It must be some other problem that is making the buttons squish like that. Hmm.. Can't figure that one out... Guess I'm waiting for Apple on that fix.

Anyways... why does it matter to you what I do to my iPhone? I can do whatever I want with my iPhone because it's mine and if I want to upgrade and downgrade every week, I should be able to.

Unlike a lot of people on this forum, I can upgrade and downgrade at any time without issues. It's very easy to do, so I'm not scared.

It matters to us because you blog over and over about it on the message board. Providing information is one thing and appreciated by the members of this community. Using the forum as your internal monologue over and over isn't.

I don't expect anyone to keep up with what I do with my iPhone. So if I say I'm doing one thing... expect it to change on a whim. That's all I'm saying. Nothing is 100% with me. I do what I want.

Just like you feel the need to bash every single one of my posts. Is that how *YOU'RE* using the forum? Are you some sort of forum police or something?

Try to understand that my response to you was not bashing but an explanation of why you're greeted with the reaction you are. Whether you care or want to adjust how and why you post is at your discretion. But when and if you do continue to post in such a manner, know that people will react negatively to it. Again - your choice.

I don't bash every single one of your posts. Please do not speak in hyperbole or try to proliferate information which is not factual. As for being a forum police - it's a community in which we ALL participate in some level of moderation otherwise there wouldn't be a "report" button on posts, now would there?

I upgraded, then I downgraded, then I upgraded, then I downgraded, then I upgraded again. It's impossible to follow me.

Doesn't change the fact that sometimes I do have good ideas and valuable information for people. I'm not an idiot... I do know what I'm doing... more than most people.

Simply because you treat this public forum as your personal blog or as your own idea notepad.

So, you have to understand such uses come with such responses. If you want people to stop bugging you then stop treating this forum as your personal blog and stop venting every problem you think the iPhone or its software has.

If I have a software or hardware problem, then others probably do too. Like you said... it's a public forum and I'm part of the public. As long as I'm not breaking the rules, I have every right to be here as you.

Yes, but you were not complaining about a common problem now were you. Also, you over posting of your views makes it look as a drama queen or that you take the forums as a personal blog. Seriously, I bet I am not the only one feeling like this right now.

Also, remember all those times you said you quit the iPhone Forums and are moving to greener pastures... well more drama. I have no problem with you here, but if you do say something as a fact, then plan to carry through instead of using pity excuses.
