TomTom on 3G iPhone

in retrospect my wording was not perfect for what i was trying to explain.

I know ... but I couldn't pass up the opportunity of being pedantic. :)

and its insured anyway so failing the good old warranty system *cough* i would just "loose" it and pay teh £25 excess!

I'm the same - most of my more expensive gear is warrantied, and the expiry dates carefully noted in the diary.

Mup.
 
yes i think most of my expensive gear has conveniently broken pre end of warranty!

must just be my luck! :blast
 
ive had 3 Iphones so far and they are still the best phone i have ever owned by far, especially now that the VPN and exchange is fully working![/QUOTE]

Yes i agree its a great phone. But its such a shame you cant do some of the stuff you can on a standard phone eg. text multimedia, forward texts, use local storage, cut and paste and for me the biggest gripe is you cant set it to auto answer so cant use on the bike bluetoothed through your com system. UNLESS SOMEONE KNOWS DIFFERENT! Will still probably upgrade to the 3G one though as I am sufficiently impressed with all the other features.
 
My biggest gripe with iPhone was that you couldn't use data services with TT Rider - so no TomTom Traffic, Weather or Buddy services :spitfire

I'm not aware this has changed with the 3G version :nenau
 
If you want a 'serious' phone rather than a gimmicky fashion thing, the Blackberry 9000 (Bold) is coming out in the next week or so :)
 
Thanks for the swift reply. I was hoping to find a link to a free download. I've got an unlocked iPhone which I use on a sim only contract @ £15 per month. I know, cheap skate! :)

can that be used on other networks??
and can you use the apps etc?

Yes, all except "3" for some reason and yes, all applications work fine. You can forward texts, mass send texts and send multimedia but you have to install a separate (free) application. I use WeTool which can be downloaded with the installer. YouTube has videos showing how all iPhones can be unlocked.
 
WOW, im feeling a massive amount of angst aimed at the iPhone from you guys, ive gone from a MDA with limitless ability and the iPhone, while still not perfect is simply so much better, what it does it does so well that it makes up for what it doesnt do. I wouldnt turn back.

In a way its nice to know that Apple dont really roll anything out until they are certain it works. I would rather them bring out AD2P and other services when they have it working rather than rush it out just because other phones have it. The iPhone has one or 2 bugs, but none of them are major and none have really effected me, except maybe safari crashing once or twice.

For the time being services through the iPhone do not get access too data via the 3g or other connections, however, its likely that any software inside the iPhone will have this access.

I should point out though that when I questioned a certain TomTom employee on the matter they commented that it wasnt happening for iPhone, this may change over time, just have to wait I guess.
 
Take a look at the RAM Aquaboxes for waterproof mounting on a bike. They have a soft membrane cover that can be used with touch screen devices. Of course remember that the iPhones screen does not work with gloves on.

Those Aquaboxes look pretty cool - might have to take a punt.

I e-mailed Otterbox again the other day as they have pulled the Armor case for the original iPhone and not produced one for the 3G. Apparently they weren't happy with the case saying that it did not function well for the iPhone (although interestingly they still do one for the iPod Touch which really isn't that different). A shame as it looked like what I was looking for. I may have a go at making something up though.
 
I've got a HTC touch Diamond and google maps works perfectly on it.

The only problem is lack of speaking.

I'm looking for a working version of TomTom for Wm6.1 - anyone got it ? :)
