iPhone dumbass here. Need help.
« on: May 04, 2009, 06:16:07 PM »
Okay, after being assured by a relatively skanky, semi-hot, whiskey-voiced AT&T rep that the "new" iPhone in June (and yes, there is one coming) would not differ significantly from the current 3G version with the 3.0 version pack I traded in my old one this week.

Now the problems.

1) The computer with which I synced my old phone is deader than Caesar's ghost.
2) I do not wish to lose all my apps and their respective data, some of which is valuable to me.

So...  what I want to do is back up my old iPhone to the new laptop and then restore the new iPhone from there.  You'd think that would be simple, right?  Well fuck me if I could figure out how to do any damn thing but overwrite everything on my old one when I hooked it to the new computer. 

I went back to talk to the chick at AT&T but in what I consider to  be an ominous portend, she was not there.  I got fucking Habib.  He tells me in stilted English that "such transfer is not possible." 

Well fuck that.  If one of you sonsabitches knows how to do this, I'd appreciate a hand.  Otherwise I'm sending the new iPhone back and my smoky-voiced bottle blonde will lose the fucking commission.

I'm having sort of the same problem with mine because I activated my phone using my laptop, but now want to sync it with my desktop, and it's not working.  Depending on when you got your phone, there is free 1-800 # service from apple, and if it is possible to do, they would know how to do it--much more so than the AT&T folks.  I've gotten lots of help from them in the past.  Check http://www.apple.com/support/complimentary/ to see if you are covered.  I had planned on getting a new phone soon anyway, so I didn't really push the investigation that far, but I'll let you know if i get anything figure out on my end.  Good luck!

I prematurely iPhoneulated probably. 

The chick who pushed my button swore there wouldn't be a major difference.  It might be (relatively) faster or come with a 32G  or even 64G storage option she says.  She might just be a greedy whore and be lying.

I heard today that the 3G that I bought for $399 (or whatever) will be dropped to $99 in June with the "new" model replacing it at that higher price point.  That's got to be bullshit.  Or I will be pissed and have to skull fuck the little sales whore (as opposed to mentally fucking her on voice and bottle blonde hair alone).

Other options  are rumored to be flash for the camera, video recording and the ability to forward instant messages. None of that really means shit to me.  I have a camera. I have a video-cam that will shoot in blu-ray.  What the fuck do I need that for on a shit phone?

Another thing I read somewhere is that the case will be more of a matte finish which will eliminate the fingerprint issue.  The silly whore sold me a white one so I don't care about fingerprints anyway.  I'll be buying a kickass Auburn skinit to cover the thing so white, black, pink or purple.  Who cares?

If you're used to the blackberry I'd stick with it.  I wish I had started with one. 

Honestly?  The only reason I got a new iPhone was because the battery on mine was holding about a two hour charge and I got pissed off when it died AGAIN Saturday.  It was spur of the moment. I kept the iPhone -- and you can laugh at this all you want -- because it has a meal tracking app.  I started using it about eight weeks ago.  I still eat whatever the hell I want -- McDonalds, Mellow Mushroom, Momma G's, steak, whatever -- but I just keep track of it and try to cut down.  I've dropped about 23 pounds in that short amount of time.  I needed to.  Going to drop 23 more at least.  I feel so much better it's unreal.  I think my dick actually grew as a result of this.  So I wanted to keep that app.  I believe in it.  It is my Yoda. 

Long answer. Sorry. I don't know any other kind.

I like all the apps the I-Phone offers plus the Curve's keypad is so damn small you push 3 buttons trying to push one. I'm going to wait until June 8th buy the phone. $99 for the 8g in 3 weeks I would a little mad at the blonde vixen.

As I have heard it:  there will be the same or better total gb storage options; the price drop will be as you stated but only for 'new customers' (ie, those who's two year contract cycle hit right for once), and the service plans will more than account for the change in phone price; video and voice recording will be handled with the software upgrade, which will be available to current customers; the flash, I am unsure of;  the case will be redesigned, incorporating more metal as the first generation did, but also more 'elegant.'  As for your battery life, i assume youve checked all the background functions such as bluetooth and wifi, and made sure the are not left on when not in use.  I have had a few friends who left those features off when not in use and still had crap battery time. Their phones were replaced under warranty. Ive also heard that the newest generation will offer voice dialing as well as other voice commands, but i dont know if that will be a software or hardware issue (i would guess software?).  I've been looking and can't find the pic that i saw of the alleged third generation iphone, but it looks pretty sweet.  Jumbo, you should see this article though since you're trying to decide between the two: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/05/04/blackberry_unseats_iphone_as_most_popular_smartphone_in_q1.html .  I think both phones definitely serve their respective purposes, and you just gotta decide what you want out of it.  Also, this might be worth looking at for anyone using or considering getting an iPhone.  http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/05/04/ftc_investigating_antitrust_ties_between_apple_google.html

All of this (except the flash) is available now on the original and the 3G if you jailbreak (Hack) it. Done it with mine and my wife's. You can put a Genesis, Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Game boy Advanced emulator on it and play them instead of the shitty app store games, too.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
