I have one and love it. Just surf the "apps" icon for downloads that interest you. You have to have an itunes account of course. |

My kid brother has it and loves it now. He said there is a bit of a learning curve but he had it down the first week. His girlfriend has the 1st gen and he said the 3G is much better. :cool: I have the LG Dare the iPhone just had more to it that this old Dawg needed. LOL :D Have fun with it. Check out the App site and look over the freebies first. My brother has loaded his up. ;) |

My Mercedes doesn't like the 3G so it is a no go for me. Also I prefer Verizon over AT&T |

What I don't like about the iPhone is that it only comes with AT&T cell service...one of the coolest features (for golfers) is that it will download almost any golf course in the country and give you exact yardage to the hole!!!! |

I am replying from my iPhone. I am slowly learning how to use it. Where do you get the golf course info? It's pretty cool, every time I get a new email it let's me know. At&t has the best service here and my family are all on AT&T so it's free to talk to each other. |

Except for my kid brother who went with AT&T to get the iPhone. So I have to pay to call him and my folks who have a land line. LOL :D You can likely find the app by googling "iphone apps golf" ;) |

Scott, There is an App called "AroundMe". It uses the GPS in your phone to locate you and the nearest locations of whatever you want. I have had a 2G phone and recently upgraded to the 3G a couple of months ago, my wife also has a 3G phone. I like my phone because I can combine devices into one; i.e. phone, PDA and music player (iPod). woohoo.gif Also, the more you play with it the more in tips and tricks you will find.

Thanks Bill, I have found the more I play on the internet, the batt goes down pretty quick. I live about 12 miles north of Somerset off Route 30. Bedford is about a 35 minute drive. We sometimes camp in Altoona or go to a Curve game. |

I have yet to go to a Curve game, left home about 20 years ago (Navy). We have the Suns down here, been to few of their games. Although I'm still loyal to my roots (Die-hard Steelers fan) Last edited on Fri Mar 20th, 2009 02:40 pm by Paladin |

No. She did what is called a Jailbreak. Which means you remove the ATT block for the sim card so you can use any carrier you want. Search iPhone jailbreak and you will learn more. |

Skipper arent they already out there? 3G or is that something different, or am I late to the Party?  Id like to learn about the Un-block feature chip to allow other carriers with this phone. |

Thanks, I just downloaded it. Very cool. Says it has 44 different timepieces. Have to check them all out. I am sure they will add even more in the future. |

Went through the watches, very cool. The ones that have timer functions even work. Right now I am using the Cigarrillos Excelsior pocket watch with the flyback minute hand what I guess is a jump hour. I want one for real now. :) |
