It's not going to make the screen any brighter....

hehe i no...was more of a joke...

but it could help u see the screen a little better...

@mixit_fan; any way to stop the screen to pan past the edge of the WEB page? It's a bit irritating if you pan and you pan straight past the edge and end up with a grey screen...

hmm...

if you open the settings menu, and close it the page no longer continues sliding after you let the screen go...

quite a few people have been having this problem...im not aware of a fix. AFAIK the program is not in development anymore..

sorry, wish i could help u :(

if i find a fix ill be sure to let u no ;)

...that of a screen that's ABSOLUTELY useless in sunlight, I'd really be grateful! :)

I assume the iPhone doesn't have this issue...?

I cant impress people with my phone on sunny days :p(yes, I still show off my phone to everyone I meet, yes, I know theres something wrong with me).

There is no real difference between the different firmware versions. Been using my iphone for over a month, and have switched firmware versions - no differences.

Very cool phone.

Where is the best place to get an iPhone?

There are numerous adverts on BidorBuy ranging from R5100 to R8000 unlocked, and I know have2have sells - but they are locked. I found this guy on Gumtree Johannesburg, who claims to sell them at R3100 but I've emailed him twice now and he doesn't respond or answer. If he's not a fraudster, then it's a bargain!

You see the thing is, the people getting it here are buying from At&t because apple is only supplying them, so $399 * 7 (rough) = 2800. Add to that 20% Customs Duty and 14% VAT so thats R3192 Inc Vat + 560 Customs = R3752, then we need to add a little something for shipping costs say R300 which takes us to a little over 4k. Then the phone still needs to be unlocked, which is R500 for the software - that makes it 4.5k and whoever is selling it wants some profit.

There was a seller on Bidorbuy who started an auction for 2 iPhones at R5150 - he closed the auction with a bid for R5600 and a bid for R5500 I think. I think as long as I pay under 6k, I'll be happy with it.

Have2have is still selling it for R4900, locked but they dont have stock for the next 3 weeks or something...So they wouldn't reduce their price while demand is still strong.

I am trying to organise one coming in next week - the seller wants to charge me R6000 but I'll negotiate.

I just have a funny feeling about it, so I'm walking away. :rolleyes:

I know it might be silly, but my instincts have saved my ass before...so leaving it there. If you phone, let me know what the outcome is.
