Do you HAVE to use itunes to get music on them?

No idea, but I find using iTunes to manage my music as well as the other iPhone bits and bobs to be a real pleasure (better than Active Sync/Windows Vista Mobile Centre)

never used itunes till yesterday when i bought the iphone - it appears to be very slick and simple to use. Like it a lot.

Also can you pair the iPhone with a Bluetooth GPS and use it for sat nav?

No you can do it through winamp.

Jailbroke my iPod last night and its superb.

Having a strange issue though, when I get a call off someone it displays their number, but not their name. It seems as though I don't have them in contacts, but in actual fact I do. Anyone heard of this problem at all?

Apparently not... Bluetooth is pretty limited, seems to be some people's beef with it. You can't sync using it even.

non of my contacts have come across either - is there any way of getting the contacts off the sim or is it a case of manual inputing all the names and numbers?? :confused:

Was there no way of syncing them to your computer from your old phone?

There's a program called iSim that'll do it - but it costs. Best bet is to sync your old phone with Outlook then sync the iPhone with the PC.

I put in all mine manually in the end, it doesn't take that long once you get going and get used to it. The good thing is that itunes syncs it and remembers it, so even after a restore you will get the contacts back without having to type it all in again.

This doesn't always work unfortunately.

booyaka · 17 Apr 2008 at 10:35

cool - will do that later on. My previous phone is that old it doesn't even have a usb connection!!!

PiKe · 17 Apr 2008 at 10:40

I'm so so tempted

The program allows you to copy over SIM contacts one by one, takes a little longer but surely quicker than typing the numbers in again.

But Im confused, once contacts get transfered into the iPhone they are effectively the same as the contacts in your MS Outlook basically?

So am I. There seems to be no really good reason 'not to'.

Is O2 or CPW the best shop to get one from or does it make no difference?

gumbald · 17 Apr 2008 at 10:48

Makes no difference. Although CPW might take your name for their database, whereas O2 might not...

no name or address from me when i got mine in CPW - guy in the shop was excellent and basically knew i was going home to jailbreak it and wasn't bothered!
