czarjo21 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 How's the battery life? I read that, if you regularly use the apps, battery life is only half a day. been downloading loads of apps and games and since my iphone is knda new, am really stuck with it. My baterry life usually lasts for a day or two. So I think it'll get better once I stop playing those addictive apps and games. Quote Link to comment
knowella Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 totoong malakas dating mo pag may iPhone 3G or iPhone 1st gen., minsan nasa starbucks ako...everybody carries laptop, me iPhone lang gamit:cool:....pero naduduling naman ako sa liit ng screen iphone ko compare sa mga may dalang laptops. besides, kelangan ko ng backup phone(Samsung D880 dual sim) para sa Sun & Pldt sim ko. totoong mabilis maubos battery ng iphone pag Sun sim gamit mo, kc nga nung bago bili ko gusto show off palagi kaya gamit ko Sun sim, pero hanggang 1day lang yata dead na battery. but now, globe sim na gamit ko wla kc masyadong tumatawag sa globe ko kaya lampas 2days yun battery life ngayon. Macho Gwapito talaga dating mo pag may iPhone ka. :cool: Quote Link to comment
nino1481 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 any comparison between iphone at htc diamond? Quote Link to comment
lml_sete Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Pag bumile ka ba ng iphone kailangan sa globe na lang o may pwede mabilhan medyo mahal kasi ang price sa globe hehehe. Quote Link to comment
keigo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 if you buy an iPhone 3G...i would recommend Globe as the prices outside doesnt have that much difference and the best part in Globe is the one year warranty and since wala naman service or repair option for iPhone, if found to be really defective, its a replacement of a new unit...sweet....

keigo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Got an officemate who bought an IPHONE 3G 8GB from globe..it's nice looking and fun to play with...the problem is that it's bluetooth function doesn't work with file transfer..it can only be used for a bluetooth headset...i'm not sure if my officemate doesn't know how to check it but that's what he told me...after I heard that I was highly disappointed with it...imagine paying almost 40k for a phone that doesn't even have the correct bluetooth functionality work properly...any inputs on this guys?? thanx! :headsetsmiley: bluetooth function of the iPhone was never designed to transfer files in/out of the iPhone. For those who have not had the pleasure/headache of transferring files in iPhone, its not really as simple as how its done in most phones. Specially if what you want is to customize the phone's features such as ring/sms tones...it would take a few more steps to actually get those thinsg customized...as far as basic functions is concerned, its by far really great...

revi Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I am getting tired of waiting for the next Communicator.. and now I am contemplating in replacing my N9500 with a brand new Cellphone.. My choices are the IPhone 3G, the Samsung Omnia (so-called "IPhone killer") and the N96.. I feel that the N96 is just an upgraded of the N95 (with better memory storage, that is).. So, scratch that.. Now, it boils down to two phones, the Iphone 3G and the Omnia.. I know that this is an IPhone thread, and most probably, people would vote for the IPhone, but what about this newest Samsung hand-held.. I've checked reviews and it really goes toe-to-toe with the IPhone.. It even has a stronger camera with its 5MP and its even priced less that the IPhone.. 8GB (Php36K) at 16GB (Php38K) din ang mga variants ng internal memory and also supports the 3G function.. Planning to buy the Omnia over the IPhone because of its price.. But would any of you here care to "violently" react? haha.. I just want to see the POV of IPhone users on why the IPhone 3G would be a better choice over the gaya-gaya phones like this Samsung model.. BTW, if ever, this would be my first Samsung Phone.. Been a Nokia user since, as I did not like my experience with SE's P800.. Quote Link to comment

Been a Nokia user since, as I did not like my experience with SE's P800.. it really comes down to personal choice; you have the last say and despite other people's IMO's, you live or die with your choice. i've tried all three brands; though they all have user-friendly interface, the iphone's UI has a more intuitive feel probably because it was first to market the touchscreen-accelerator gizmo combination which the other brands are busy catching up -samsung's omnia, being an asian brand, "improved" on the shortcomings of the iphone 3g in the areas the asian market is biased to: better camera, mms and text forwarding capable out of the box, and video calling, which i'm sure the iphone is also busy catching up on these in the coming months... get the phone that best serves your needs; omnia has what we asians want right out of the box while the iphone 3g has the bling factor to consider and its shortcomings forgiveable in the short term. and don't count nokia out yet; they're coming out with their own iphone-killer the 5800; and you can also download some business software like quickoffice to the N96 if you plan on getting that. good luck. me? i gave my iphone 3g to my girlfriend (if i make her happy, she'll make me happy hehehe) and went back to my nokia E66 to handle my business needs and the itouch to take care of my entertainment needs; i'm planning on getting the 5800 when it comes out this christmas and download quickoffice on it.good luck Quote Link to comment
lml_sete Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You can compare the 3G iphone and Samsung Omnia on this site www.gsmarena.com the iphone is way better than the omnia but when it comes to price panalo ang omnia good for those low on budget. Thanks for the advice bro keigo i'll just wait for the prices to go down. Quote Link to comment

I am not in a hurry to replace my N9500 (in all actuality, I am actually thinking of getting rid of my N93 instead of my Communicator), and I am still googling sites to find the differences between the Omnia and the IPhone 3G.. As of now, I am more inclined in getting the Omnia.. For one, I am not interested with the "bling factor" that the IPhone carries.. Its more on the usability of the phone and as you said, if it suits my needs then why not.. The problem lies here: I am not much of a Windows-based phone person.. I'd like to get a Symbian operated phone much like my 9500.. But the new Communicator feels like its just a few steps higher than what I have (functionally), so I did not get it.. lml_sete's post intrigued me, and I browsed the site he gave.. This is what I found..... "The PocketPC mid-season may as well be a hush before the storm with the HTC Touch Pro and Xperia waiting to be unleashed. But for now we have two other bitter rivals to keep us busy: Samsung i900 Omnia and HTC Touch Diamond. It truly is a great achievement for Samsung to have a gadget fit to stand up to the top PocketPC manufacturer HTC. The two devices are doing a great job standing their ground to the Apple iPhone 3G and it's no wonder since each of them is technically more advanced than Apple's creation. In fact, they have a lot of things in common with the iPhone - the full Touch UI, the nice multimedia capabilities and the superior web browsing experience. But we digress." @lml_sete and paulgo: Thanks for your replies, I hope I could get more answers from the others.. Quote Link to comment
keigo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 i guess one main consideration is the OS of the phone...i have never been a fan of phones running on windows mobile.... in basic functions such as calls, music, browsing...id say iPhone is still great....SMS wise...i guess its just a matter of getting used to it as the iPhone really learns how you text and the patterns of your inputs and eventually learns the tagalog words that you use...lets say for example, the word "po" can be put by simply pressing pp...hehehehe... going back to the topic...its really more of what would make you happy in terms of usage...we can all say we like this and that but its still you who would decide as people will always have diff opinion over the same device.... i guess one best thing with the iPhone is the added bling it gives...and another thing, the samsung Omnia price depreciates a lot faster than the iPhone...source would be the online trading community...not the stores in malls....
