Listen why not go and actually try use the phone instead of acting so ignorant?
I too was like you and hated anything Iphone.
Go and use the phone and you will see what all the fuss is about.

My iPhone sleeps right next to me & every morning when I wake up, first thing I do, is to grab it and look at its sleek lines - it's just the most beautiful phone I've ever seen!

And then I haven't even pressed the Home button to feast my eyes on the gorgeous OS.

Maybe we can help you out.

But it should be easy to sell the phone... or just take it back to vodacom if possible.

Got myself a contract HTC diamond 5 weeks ago because i could not wait any longer for the IPhone. With the launce of the Iphone I bought myself the 8 gig version. Used it till yesterday and change back to the HTC. Comparing to the HTC the Ipone is like a cheap toy. Hats of to their marketing team. They convince the world that the Iphone is great but back at the range...

The iPhone is not a toy - it's a mobile phone.

Glad you found something that works for you. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy your HTC!

To soft-reset: Pull out stylus and use it to push the little red hole.

You'll need to use this feature often

Man I'm even having a hard time to convince my wife to swop her Nokia for this fantastic lol! R 6300+ phone. I think I'm angry with myself for spending that kind of money to get hold of a Iphone. Was vas aan die slaap and brainwashed

Can't say the same for me... I also got the Diamond a month ago and now the iPhone. No comparison.. the iPhone runs rings around the Diamond. At least the iPhone knows the difference between a swipe and a press on the screen plus the screen on the iPhone is much brighter and larger.

I have used all kinds of hacks on the diamond to get the screen pressure threshhold just right but the iPhone works out the box.

Safari browser on the iPhone is the first functional browser I have ever used on a mobile phone. Sound is 100 times better. Waiting for MMS functionality which it appears will be introduced in version 2.2 of the software.

Going to donate my Diamond to a family member for his birthday.

Have you heard of SwirlyMMS for the iPhone?

Grab it from Cydia and check the first page of my thread for the settings

 

[sakkie]

lol there isnt MMS in 2.2 yet, and I've got the beta of it running

It's (MMS) been missing since the 2G launch, so they aren't in a hurry to add it. Big thing in 2.2 is the Safari browser change, it shows the URL and Google search in the same panel at the top.
