WAY Off Topic: iPhones

[briansd1]

I was just saying that the iPhone is priced the same as any other smart phone full price or subsidized price ($199).

If you have buy a phone (or any other product) why not pay the same price for the best which will still have resale/residual value when you’re ready to move on?

What phone other than iPhone can you resell for $199 after you’re used it to your heart’s content?

The iphone 4 is out and the 3G-S has been out for over a year. How much do you think someone is going to give me for a 16GB 3G? Yeah, not much.

Unlock it and put on ebay/Craiglist. You’ll get $200.

I’ve had an iphone 3G for almost 2 years. I’ve been very happy with it. However, the 4.0 OS upgrade completely destroyed my phone. It’s slow as crap now doing ANYTHING and there is no easy way to downgrade to the old OS. Thanks for sucking Apple and actually testing this out.[/quote]

meadandale, you were right!

Actually, in the smart phone business, Apple is not very different from the “evil” Microsoft in the PC market. Products full of bugs.

But they are the standard. What can we do?

On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was investigating the sluggish performance of iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G. While Apple is beginning an investigation, a reader over at Neowin was hands on with an iPhone and may have stumbled upon a quick fix. The problem is apparently remedied by turning off all the spotlight search options within Settings->General->Home Button->Spotlight Search. Though this may be a temporary band-aid, it may be enough to hold you over until Apple determines a root cause and issues a fix. If anyone gives it a try, let us know your results in the comments.
