What the wifi sensitivity like on these?

Raymond Lin · 22 Apr 2008 at 14:48

What do you mean? it's fine, i'd say better than my N95.

PiKe · 22 Apr 2008 at 14:53

Compared to a laptop or something with a dedicated wifi card.

Can you try running a real mans firmware and then let me know please?

Just had a thought on how much a bargain the current iPhone pricing is when you consider what is in the package.

Headphones with in-line mic - £20
Charger - £20
Dock - £30

That is £70 of accessories right there, and considering you don’t get charger and dock with the itouch 8G, it makes the iPhone a tremendous bargain !

OR

Those accessories are a complete rip off in the first place.

They might be but you can't deny the fact that they are sold at that price everywhere.

Wonder what the resale value will be like after the V2 comes out.

Raymond Lin · 22 Apr 2008 at 16:16

I would think quite well if its unlocked, considering the 8G itouch is £180.

Nobody knows when the new one is coming out, or what will happen to the current line up when it does so it's all just finger in the air stuff.. but as it's going to be supported by 2.0 it's hardly going to become obsolete overnight.

Anyone know the settings to use for SwirlyMMS for Orange please?

Just had Proxy failed.

Yep - these *exact* settings (seems to be quite fussy!)
MMSC: mms.orange.co.uk/
Proxy: 192.168.224.10:8080
APN: orangemms
Username: orange
Password: multimedia
Image Size: Low

It's fairly crap though - such an effort to view a message you've received! Open finder, locate the sMMS folder, open image... Sure they'll improve it eventually though.

Cheers, it worked, i haven't received any MMS yet so i wouldn't know how hard it is to view it but just for my information, where is the "finder"

So without the Finder I can't see MMS photos?

You want mobile finder and mobile preview. Swirly just downloads the image off the server, finder/preview allows you to view it.

I've stopped using MMS and use email for images now. Much better quality at both ends.

Cheers for that mate, I've added the Orange settings to my guide

How annoying is it not being able to save attachments from e-mails?!

Not very for me. Can see why it might be though.
