n_maher Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Posted August 10, 2009 Ok, I'm starting to get pretty pissed off about the Iphone's inability to send or receive picture messages. My freakin' free, 4 year old shitty Verizon phone could do this and the Iphone can't?!?!? My dad tried to send me a picture message tonight and AT&T directed me to some website to view the message but regardless of how I enter the required information it won't let me access the picture. This is weak on an epic scale.
Guest h.rav Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 ^ That's one of my main reasons why I don't use an iPhone.

n_maher Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Posted August 10, 2009 Agreed, this should be available soon. I believe there is a work around for this now, however. There's no work around that I can find that would allow me to receive them unless the sender has the ability to essentially send me an email from there phone which isn't really the same thing. And most of the folks that this is an issue with (my parents, for example) have basic run of the mill cell phones with cameras that can send pix messages all day long but not email. Right now I'd just really like to see a picture of my new niece but that isn't an option on the uberfail phone.

And also the awful combination of the iPhone + AT&T. It is with great pleasure that I read the news that DOJ will be investigating exclusivity arrangements such as that between AT&Fail and the iPhone. Of course, I'll still be first in line to buy one of those iTabletFails...
tyrion Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Jailbreak your iphone then download Swirly MMS. I just downloaded it and have to test it.
TheCool Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 So I just picked up my iphone 3gs yesterday and I'm loving it. The only issue I'm having is that I picked up a switcheasy rebel case to go with it and the 3.5mm connector on the jh13 pros won't fit because of the hard plastic part of the case. It prevents the connector from fitting flush in the headphone jack. Anyone (specifically jh13pro owners) have any suggestions for alleviating this rather big problem? What kind of cases are you guys using?

TheCool Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 I don't really know which extender thing you're referring to but I don't think the rebel comes with one. It just comes with the dock insert, 2 screen guards, a cloth for cleaning the phone, and a docking adapter.
VPI Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 The NeoTouch case came with a little two inch cable with a thin bodied jack on one end that allows you to plug whatever headphone you want into it. I was hoping I would not have to use it but the UE-11s do not fit in the hole so I have no choice.
ojnihs Posted August 15, 2009 Report Posted August 15, 2009 I have one of those extenders too, came with my Rebel for my iPod Touch. I hate having to use it, but the plug on my etys don't work with out it.

I'm on my family's Verizon plan, so I have one of those little free phones, plus an iPod Touch for everything else. I can get picture messages, then Bluetooth them over to my Mac fairly easily via BitPim, and then use the iPod for everything except basic phone usage. It's not very optimal to have two devices, but until AT&T stops being crappy (never) or Apple teams up with another service, I won't be getting a regular iPhone.

I'm very much on the fence about keeping mine right now which is precisely why I bought used and did not sign a contract. It's a great multi-media entertainment device, but pretty marginal in the phone department and I don't need to spend $80 a month to be entertained.

It's a great multi-media entertainment device, but pretty marginal in the phone department and I don't need to spend $80 a month to be entertained. Exactly. I've found that wifi is prevalent enough to not justify a data plan, especially since 9 months out of the year are spent at school, where I can get service everywhere on campus. I recently got the free upgrade to a Samsung Juke. Although it's already a two year old phone, it's really small and works with Bitpim on my mac, which were really the only requirements I had for a regular phone. I don't really txt that much, so I wasn't worried about a full keyboard. I'd rather send an email anyway and avoid paying the ridiculous bandwidth fees that the cell companies charge.
zippy2001 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I just picked up my iPhone today I've been waiting for my Verizon plan to expire (yesterday). I ran to the Apple store and picked one up just before they closed. This thing is addicting.

As far as case/headphone problems, I have never really understand the mania over iphone cases. I've always kept mine nude. Sure it gets scuffed up, but I decided early on I'd treat my iphone like a tool. Its a tough little device.
