shao_khan Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well got an Iphone to play with for a couple of weeks and so far I must say it lives upto everything I expect from Apple + Itunes - overly pretty, and hard as hell to work out why it wont do what its supposed to...... Wireless - I have it configured to work with wireless at home - connects fine, as soon as I surf it defaults to edge - can anyone offer explanations as to why this might be - its driving me nuts. I even set it with a static IP from my Router - restart the iphone and it defaults back to an IP address I have no idea what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Umm, before you get into too much of a panic - go into settings and reset the network bits. Did you recently "update" it? I had a similar problem with my Touch when I first got it and applied the 1.1.1 firmware update. Screwy behaviour and connectivity. I had to redefine my IP network connection once reset ( the ol'WEP/WPA security stuff) - but since then it has been perfectly behaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 What's the Touch like on the Web and Mail Rachel? Really fancy the iPhone but dont need the phone bit unless unlocked so thinking about the Touch in a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The touch is stunning! I use it for my gmail. What's better, is that if I;m anywhere near an access point, it just connects, and the mail prog downloads my mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sounds awesome to me. You could be near a WiFi zone and not even realise and using it then, and it just downloads without prompting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Sounds awesome to me.

With the new firmware and 5 new apps it is a very powerful device, with much more PDA functionality now. Though the real power users will have hacked their touch(es) and already be running all this plus a cool IM client called Apollo. fyi - I want to retire a 6 year old Sony Clie (PalmOS 5), and need to be able to lock/hide/secure some notes/memos. I've been in touch with the guys who do 1Password (Agile Solutions) and the latest version of their s/w does synchronisation with the iPhone/iPod touch, and is pretty secure using a 448-bit Blowfish encrypted key.

shao_khan Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Sorted now - it appears to have been a glitch witht he phone software. Had set it up correctly, but for some reason it was assigning a spurious IP address outside of my range. Reset the phone, set all the wifi again and its been fine. Now for hotmail on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatz Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have a blackberry and just wondered whether the email system works in the same way on the iphone (ie push)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burble Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nope, it's a scheduled POP3 or IMAP4 download I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] As mentioned above the (un-hacked) iPhone mail app is a "well behaved" Internet mail client - POP3/SMTP or IMAP (if you want to try Exchange as a mail server), whereas the RIM stuff is proprietary.

Mac Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm actually trying to use my iPhone now by being bloody minded and only taking it with me and my normal SE w880. It's a big phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
