2.0 is just a piece of software, 3.0 is just a piece of software... insubstantial thread? 90% of the threads on here are insubstantial to most people but there are people out there that is interested in Apple and their developments hince why we are all on macrumors.
let me guess, you're only interests have ever been the iPod, the iPhone and the tablet... because everything else is insubstantial
I somewhat agree with you. Who are these people to decide what it substantial and what is not?
No in general, but specifically: No, yes, and no. I couldn't care less about a Mac tablet, and I haven't touched an iPod in years. I do, however, share a mutual interest in the iPhone, as it is my connection to the civilized (and sometimes uncivilized) world. Other interests are quite healthy, Simgar--I highly suggest them.
And yes, we are all interested in Apple and their developments. But that doesn't require the introduction of threads that simply whine about how software or hardware isn't out yet. There are better things to be had than the new iPhone firmware, or the up-and-coming Apple tablet. If you know it's coming, why complain about it? It's not like you already paid for it and Apple hasn't delivered.
Apple delivered a quality product that you voluntarily paid for. The only reason anyone would be excited about iPhone 3.1 is the MMS functionality that AT&T has kept from it's massive iPhone-wielding consumer base.
However, we've all lived without MMS for over two years now, since the advent of the first-generation iPhone. If we've lived with it for over two years, what's another few weeks? Or another few months? Hell, what's another year gone by?
That's why I consider this thread fundamentally insubstantial. Things will come when they come and the only thing any of us can do against a mega-corporation like AT&T is wait and be patient.
EDIT: And you still spelled it wrong. Even Safari has spell-check, and it's still wrong...
I wasn't whinning about anything... anything at all. I was asking beta testers what's new and what they like.. I don't care about MMS because I can email, but am more interested in things like improved battery life.
I love the iPhone and would have absolutely no problem loving it if it was never updated again... mainly because of the fact that the current iPhone will probably still be better than any other phone 5 years from now (because apparently all other phone developers are retarded). If you have an issue with my threads either a) note the creator before clicking on it or offer a better apple rumor/discussion website.
I'll tell you what, I read only appleinsider for years but eventually came here, but seriously... this site is full of duechebags. Not specifically calling you one Demosthenes because you wrote a lengthy post explaining yourself and we just seem to be having a miscommunication about the point of this thread, but people here seem like theyd rather judge or flame than post something productive. It's obnoxious...
edit: I use firefox
+1. He's all caught up on your word, "insubstantial.". He's whined before when others here didn't think his OP's merited being posted. A good indication of just how insubstantial they are is that they invariably end up in the wasteland. See his various MMS threads. And his "MMS IS OUT!" thread was one of the more annoying ones. Good grief!

i just make my mms threads to annoy you aggie, because you just seem to follow me and post "insubstantial" and totally non-apple related responses. especially the mms thread is out... no joke, that was just because of you.
99.9% of threads end up in the wasteland... theres only like 15 threads that last any decent amount of time at a time
Only one year for me. I was with Verizon and had a Voyager before canceling and getting an iPhone 3G. I must say, AT&T and Apple have been far more pleasing to me so far than Verizon was, even without MMS. I had my Voyager replaced 3 times in one week, two of the times for the same problem. The first time was ~4 months after I got it, there was a software glitch. Can't reinstall the OS on regular phones, so they replaced it. My next two replacements had the screen coming out of the frame on the phone.
The first replacement: As you can see, after only one day, dust and lint from my pocket was getting behind the screen (you can see it accumulated on the edges)

Second replacement:

I didn't open the third replacement until I got to Verizon, so they couldn't say I was doing anything to damage the phones. This one had a good screen, but there was another problem with it that is escaping me at the moment, and I was supposed to go in the next week to get another replacement. Instead, I waited 6 weeks and ordered an iPhone 3G on the 19th, and received it on the 28th.
Happy to say, the only reason I had to have my 3G replaced was because the battery life had become shorter than it should be.
not too much new to report here, the only question i have for some of my other testers, has the vibrate when you go to rearrange an app gone away for you? when i hold down an app it no longer vibrates when they start jiggling
You pay 100 dollars for a dev account. And then you complain about how bad the betas are.
If you use your iPhone as a phone, I would *strongly* suggest you do NOT install beta software on it.
The biggest feature in 3.1 is that tethering is disabled. A very good reason for wanting to keep 3.0.
Seriously, change the title. I'm trying to read through this thread and all I can think about is the word "antzi" and I lose concentration. Please tell me this is a joke and you really don't think that's how it's spelled.
Buddy, this is getting painful...
1st attempt:"Antcy"
2nd Attempt: "Antzi"
Actual Spelling: "Antsy"
I mean, I the second is an anagram for "Nazi" if that's what you're going for, but I really hope not.

Lol, nice one!
That's all I could think of while reading this useless thread, I'm glad somebody said it!
