Giles, lemme know if you want pointers (says the instant expert)

[jacoavlu]

the exchange gmail iphone integration is now very good, with "push" email support and ability to sync contacts/calendars

[hectic]

yeah, 1 minute job. Shit was gratifying

@Giles:

Still trying to work out how to get my stored numbers off my HTC Desire (large SIM) onto my iPhone (small SIM)….Feckit, I'm challenged.....

i'll be pissed if there is actually a way cuz i did it manually as suggested by the seller…

[michaeljcr]

You can get a gizmo to chop your sim card down to the smaller size, then put it in your iPhone. Presuming it's a  compatible network…

nice thinking….

Anyone here use imessenger? I'm curious how it compares to Blackberry Messenger. Was thinking about getting the wife and I an Iphone because everyone in my family has one.

iMessage works great nice to message from iPad to someones iPhone and vice versa.

[DougNg]

It appears to be just like a text message, except the bubble is blue instead of green and it uses data, not text messages on your plan

My wife and I use it all the time

Currently my favorite app is FaceTime, as my wife is in Florida for work and we communicate that way before bed. Its actually really nice to use when she's away weeks at a time

Thanks Doug, wasn't sure if it used text or data

Is March the tentative time period for the new iPad and iPhone releases?

[GimpKid]

For iPad, yeah. Current rumors are early summer for iPhone.

edit: By early summer I mean like June, during WWDC.

Thank you. Looks like I must wait for Summer.

[elclintor]

I'll get an iPad 3 when they release… it was so hard not to get the 2 over the holidays. I hope it'll be woth the wait.

and I'll be upgrading from my iPhone 4 whenever the new ones hit.

[bagley920]

So if I'm looking into getting an iphone, I should just wait?

[elclintor]

Yes, Definitely wait… Summer is not that far away!

[GimpKid]

The worst is when new IH gear drops the same time as Apple gear… I try to have a rainy day fund just for this.

[jimmy]

I always say don't bother waiting to get an iPhone as they release a new model every year so you will always be waiting. Next iPhone might not be released for another 10 month or so.

[thomasnunnally]

My buddy who works at AT&T said summer for the new iphone.

[orlylow]

Feel like getting an iPod Touch because the Blackberry stinks as a music player… but then again the new iPhone is coming out in the summer...
