since Appulo went down taking Installous with it, Mega 4 Installer seems a better app. originally the author was asking for a one-off fee of $12, but now he's gone donationware.

the best news:

1. its free
2. comes with MI patch
3. works better than Installous
4. sleek UI
5. the apps are in a central server as against installous' linking to file servers!

E71 a 'blackberry killer'?. Do you really think the keypad is all there is to a blackberry?

yessir! that and the cute name. else blackberry is seriously fuct up. its a fact that any phone i give out for free must be lame, and i just gave out my 8320 gratis to my youngest sis. granted its only a Curve, but even my bro hates his Bold.

the killer app had always been push emails; well the iphone pushes personal and corporate (via Exchange) mails without fiddling with that stupid BES Server. iphone is the only non-blackberry device that pushes yahoo mails. and its imap too.

your E71s etc do not push yahoo mails!

blackberry sucks. you cant even use the HTML browser without having a paid-for internet service (N5000 monthly from MTN). and there are no cracked apps on BB.

i hate.

can i haz iphone?

lol i wasnt lashing out, i was actually smiling when i typed that.

sorry for misunderstanding my tone.

lynxnoon:
Oya,,, explain!!

do i owe you 1?

if you're unlucky enough to waste your money on one then you have my empathy, else suffice it to say i dont diss phones for no reason.

the laundry list is long but count dumb interface and cranky accelerometer as just samplings.

dayo coker is a liar and an attention LovePeddler. the mail is obviously fake, if anyone wants to threaten you its the legal department. besides, the addressing format is obviously fake to any halfwit with an email. "hide details"? which email client has that option? and what details are being hid given the "sender"s email address is displayed?

dayo, if you want attention and relevance, avoid this pretty obvious, childish fraud.


PS: i do not work FOR any bank, i do work WITH them. As a Financial analyst who sometimes makes financial intelligence reports to relevant bodies (one of which begins with the letter E) i tell you that almost ALL our banks are at risk by virtue of being overexposed but few stand the immediate risk of floundering.

abhosts:
That is like comparing a toyota corolla with a Benz S Class. They are not in the same category.

The omnia is in the range of the Iphone and HTC's Touch.

they are in the same category (cars), but different CLASS.

of the three phones the 5800 sucks worse.

@Funkybaby


repositories keep changing their sources with the release of any new software update. code insertion platforms (like mobilesubstrate) and certain frameworks had to be updated by Saurik in Cydia. However updating your local sources is your responsibility.

whenever you open Cydia check the Changes section and update recommended and essential apps,sources and tools. remember that sources links die or get amended so updating Cydia is a good idea.

also, check the icons; any icon showing a question mark means the source is bad. keep refreshing to update the sources and rectify bad links.

jailbroke the ipod using QuickFreedom, LIBUSB and Redsn0w patch. full untethered jailbreak!


yes, i actually did it at 4.22AM because Libusb had trouble overriding Apple Mobile Device Support when i entered DFU.

@Ex were and how much did u get ur 2nd gen ipod? my im thinking of ditching my 16GB 1st gen for the 2nd gen 

$224 inc sales tax @ MacMall. 16 gigs is around $280 ex tax.

your shipping arrangements should add a lot more to the overall damage

Guys

Please can anyone upload a link or something for a non-trial version of bite SMS? Mine expires soon

Then what this sms copy and paste thing you guys are talking about? Is it possible on the iPhone?
If yes, abeg make una teach me

Thanks

Tezz gave a link to poached byteSMS.




copy and paste is coming by way of the 3.0 software update scheduled for summer (so keep your eyes peeled from june!)


also coming are:

1. Landscape keyboard in SMS, Notes, Mail etc.
2. Notes sync to PC
3. MMS support (only in iphone 3G)
4. A2DP (stereo output to bluetooth audio devices, also only in 3G)
5. Spotlight Search (global search just like in Macs or Vista).
6. New app, Voice Memo
7. redesigned user Interface in some places
8. Push notification (sort of a poor man's multitasking environment)
9. Peer to peer networking via bluetooth (hopefully someone on Cydia will code a file sharing app).
10. Ubiquitous mail app
11. Multiple photo attachment in mail.
12. in-game voice ( like in Xbox 360)
13. Vcard transfer via MMS and Mail
14. CalDAV for syncing calendar app with other calendars

etc etc etc

and then over 1000 APIs for Devs to play with!


oh, and rejailbreaking, re-Cydiaing, re-unlocking and re-syncing all over again!


@Tezz

to further give basis to swirling rumors of an impending new iphone, AT&T is offering, starting next week, contract-free Sim unlocked iphone 3Gs for around $600 and above.


clearing out sales?

me think so.

my latest Apple device acquisition is an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation (8gb).

working on jailbreaking.

MTN does NOT unlock phones.

or they can add non-OTB features.

@PC Guru
exactly! Software needs to catch up. then some competitor has to cook up an SDK on par with OS X's. Xcode/Objective C, interface builder, Cocoa, Quartz etc. no be easy task o!

flyuche:
the apple Iphone is a beta product. no multitasking yet.

like we really need it. most of the reason for parking two apps simultaneously is to copy and paste. and now, troll, we got that.

@Texazzpete

earlier we were having a conversation on phone on the iphone 3.0 software. i couldnt hear you clearly cos i was using (believe it or not) a Nokia N95 8gb. as you well know, the N95s of this world arent really killer on earpiece quality.


so, like i was saying i never thought the 3.0 update was in any way, shape or form meant to level things up on par with the Palm Pre. for one thing the hardware of the existing iphone may need rehaul especially the screen (like better power consumption, more pixels and pixel density, etc), better radios (especially HSDPA in the 7.2mbps range, and bluetooth 2.1) given the recent improvement in power efficiency and the fact that the iphone has 10 radios already inside all working off that Li-ion battery.

as the palm pre was crafted from scratch so would a new iphone. of course, one would expect improvements and embellishments in the Iphone OS X particularly at the Darwin kernel. sort of a [b]Iphone OS X 2 "Leopard" [/b]or some other damn big cat.

and then the PowerVR chip as well as the infineon processors would all need to be upgraded.


if the recent rumor of an imminent Apple Netbook is true, one can be fairly certain a new mobile version of Iphone OS X is in the offing, perhaps better optimized for background processes (which i expect in the next iphone).


the advent of 3.0 doesnt mean a new iphone isnt in the horizon: 2.0 software was released almost the same time as the iphone 3G.

given the crippling of some features in the classic iphone (MMS, A2DP) one can fairly well posit that apple is breathing life into the 3G before contract expiry next year (convenient!) while slowly killing off support for the iphone classic ala Power PC/G series. (remember Snow Leopard wont run on PPC architectures, so Carbon is going bye bye finally!)

i quite agree with you that the official claim by Scott Forstall that the iphone classic's hardware cant support MMS and A2DP (even though the iphone has a bluetooth 2.0 radio!) is hogwash.

they want everyone else to move up to iphone 3G before officially killing support for the original iphone.

i expect the announcement of a new Iphone OS X at WWDC later this year, with the unveiling of the new iphone early next year.

MY TAKE ON 3.0
-----------------------------


copy paste was well done as presented yesterday (the quicktime stream is available). but to me the best feature is the new SDK and of course landscape input.

Push notification is also fine and good except i dont expect it to work in non-official countries/Carriers given that the notification server and constant link window will be maintained by apple, utilizing the carriers' wireless data network.

meanwhile a big deal is made of the lack of background processes; but lets figure this out: if you can exit the ipod app and still have music playing, or going to the home screen and typing notes when on a call, arent these processes running in the background?

meanwhile that Voice Memo thingy looks silly.

@binhozie

Its boring to you because your insect brain does not have the necessary cylinders to handle the octane. In other words, you're just daft.

@grizzly

Ugly is always synonymous with stupid. Point proved with your posts.

Brute.

And I can imagine only the most puerile of minds will find amusement in a facewarp app to the extent of spamming the web with the result. Dude, get a life and grow up. Its free.

Oh, and really no one says chill pill anymore; its archaic.

Round 2, FIGHT!


@wizzly grizzly

U damn right I ran out of victims. The resident hobos (flyuche et al) have all grown up and that's kind of sad.

But then a great hulking mindless ape waltzed in brandishing a relic N82. oh, the tender mercies!

You can't let go of that phone cos u scared your precious face warp may not work and hence you can't warp your face and soften your hideousness.

@hesperus and lynxnoon
5800 is yer regular S60 gone all touchy feely. Regular symbian apps don't work, stylus is pokey (the plectrum works best) and so far only opera mini works, not skyfire or tons of other java stuff. The input boards are all lame and using ur finger to scroll is a b1tch.screen feels cramped. Great music player though. Its cool at first glance but the novelty isn't piled on thick. 3 hours after unboxing and u are bored. Actually I've had more wow moments with the samsung F480 mostly cos of the widgets. Everyone is going widgets these days but sadly nokia is holding off until N97.

You're beter off getting that samsung omnia above because its a very polished F480. And 10gigs is tempting plus divx/xvid playback.

@tezz

Anymore snags?

With regards to grizzly, when is someone going to say "Finish Him!"?

one would think the topic was well enough derailed when an ugly Grizzly Bear waded in handling a dated Nokia phone and aping on about some gimmicky face warp thingy.

if you look closely, the topic is about Samsung Omnia, a touchscreen highend phone. Old Symbian phones are better presented in the "fbt" thread with like-minded cretins.


and since you asked, ive had a series of iphones from 2007 to date (including about 3 iphone 3Gs), ive had series of WinMo phones, symbian (i just gave out my N95 last week) etc. ive had the smasung F480 which is just like the Omnia (including the widgets and sluggish interface), and currently i use a BlackBerry while my sis borrowed the stupid 5800 XpressMusic i got last month.

judging by the delapidated celing in that picture, i think you're in jail.

lynxnoon:
but guys wait a min
hw come d fone is barely 3 month old n d batry batry has scratches all ova
unless it was,,,,,,,,,,,,^{(no comment )}

stolen.   .    .    .   

Grizzly:
hehe! Ex-con,
it just goes to show u've been stuck with ur 3310 for far too long and need to be brought up to date with applications compatible with s60v3 phones like my n82 u loud mouthed fool. 
that pic of me was done by an application called face-warp.
It amused me and thats why i put it up.
look, listen and learn. FREAK 

i meant ugly BESIDE the face-warp doohickey. actually you look prettier with your face warped like that as compared to your real sh1t-ugly mug. when kids get naughty i use your pic to scare them to submission.

and stop going on about N82; its an OLD phone by today's standard. i completely rid myself of everything Symbian back when you were spouting your first pubes in your smelly armpits. ive moved UP, way out of your league.

those thick-ass Jay-Z lips look like King kong saying "give us a kiss, baby".

ugh!!


primate.

Dual Core:
the "EX" i've always known won't reply like this, rather he'll spew up a post with not less than 15 lines telling Hiplus some things tht'll make a man cry.
whaddaya know?
well big brurv iron man "EX" has changed. 

well, its a new year. did you know that Dual Core is being replaced by Quad Core?

you may want to upgrade.

flyuche:
maybe this is a[b] jailbroken[/b] Ex.

jailbroken, activated and unlocked. sadly still no MMS, Clipboard, Bluetooth OBEX, Push Notification etc.

but what's this? Apple to release iphone software 3.0?

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/03/apple-invites-media-to-sneak-peek-of-iphone-30-on-march-17.ars


Flyuche, now may be the time to repent all your sins and ask God to grant you the means of obtaining an Iphone to cleanse your heathen ways.

Grizzly:
Damn ugly phone,
i think i'm content with my n82

check it, people. a butt-ugly Grizzly Bear calling the Samsung "ugly".

jeebus.

is there some factory somewhere in china mass-producing creeps?

(gird your loins, a flame war is imminent. women, children and anyone owning an Acer laptop and all other Nancies should abandon ship)

hayprof:
y do u say so? the pictures ??

the desperation: "STILL AVAILABLE" etc

hiplus:
@topic
STILL AVAILABLE!!

hiplus:
@Ex inferis
Pls be careful what u spit out cos u never know who u might be talking to. Some words of advice.

ohhh, now im shaking with fear. chill. im just messing with you, man.

Looks stolen

Really, Namibians must be thick. My comment was sarcastic essentially implying that Namibia is so insignificant one knows its geographically SOMEWHERE on the map. We just don't know WHERE.

and are you telling us $8 =$N1?

8 to 1?

That means ONE Namibian dollar is over 1,200 naira! What's your economy based on, cocaine?

well mine was stolen but recently i updated a friend's.

the tools used are (1)MTN 3G E220 Modem, (2)Ethernet cable,  (3) desktop PC

you can use whatever internet connection you have as long as the IP of your external gateway is not 192.168.0.1

important: disable all firewalls on your PC. if your internet comes in via your ethernet LAN then you're out of luck.

the steps are:

1. give your PC ethernet connection a manual router IP (ie 192.168.0.1), configure the subnet with the default of 255.255.255.0. leave Gateway and DNS blank.

2. share your internet connection (if on windows xp select your ethernet as the share point)

3. connect the ethernet cable to your Xbox360

4. in the system settings blade of your xbox, got to Network settings and set the machine IP manually as 192.168.0.1[b]xx[/b] ([b]x [/b]can be any number from 0 to 9; permissible range is 100 to 199. try 192.168.101)

5. subnet mask for this IP range by default is 255.255.255.0

6. gateway/router is your PC's IP, ie 192.168.0.1

7. DNS is same as above, 192.168.0.1

test the connection. if it works, then go to the Xbox Live blade and you'll be notified of the update.

carry on from there.

they can connect you for the same N5000/month. the only advantage of buying from them is the phone comes pre-configured with their service books.

just walk into any MTN service center and ask for Blackberry Internet Service.

@bastard

i can understand your cravings for attention; sadly it wont be from me. keep braying, donkey, and hopefully someone with less to do might indulge your puerile tirades.

me, i cant lower myself to maggot levels.

and FYI, i'd rather be ANYTHING than a christian if all i have to go with is a disparate collection of contradictory hogwash bound and touted as "word of god".

but then, since you're as godless a heathen as they come (your foul language speaks volumes) i guess its lost on you.

@bastard bastage


you neednt be so insulting, else you only betray your immaturity.

it matters not if you're a dyed-in-the-wool christian or a blinking atheist; my earlier statements border on history and the legend of Judas viz-a-viz the christian perspective.

in any case im muslim so your contextual fulcrum is not on my plate, just as your snide remarks are mere darts hurled at a rock for all the effect they have on me.

if you want me to include pilate and the entire Roman Legion then ask the first poster to amend the subject to "Judas Iscariot et al-Heroes or villains?"

in the meantime you can grow up just a little, it doesnt hurt.

there're two types: BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and BlackBerry Internet Service. The former integrates into groupware service such as Exchange, Domino etc and pushes your corporate mails to your device. of course, deployment is the responsiblity of your company's IT department.

BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) is obtainable from your phone service provider and pushes your personal mails as well as activating internet service.

I use a BlackBerry Curve 8320 (firmware 4.5) with MTN. On MTN's website in their BlackBerry section is an online BIS activation form. it costs only N5000 per month.

PS: i have suspended my service because MTN is now utter rubbish.

Namibia? thats somewhere on the map, right?

so what the heck is the exchange rate against the Naira?

Bastage:
That's pretty crappy logic.

One could say the same thing about Jesus being tempted - it was necessary for Satan to tempt Him to prove that he was pure, therefore Satan performed a crucial role, isn't a bad guy and was only helping Jesus to move along.

Same goes for the excuse that Judas was only doing a job and that makes him a good guy. Him and Satan are no different in that respect but you wouldn't suggest the latter was a saviour, would you?

thats pretty crappy illogic.

from the onset we all know satan to be the embodiment of evil with or without the tempting of the christ. the temptation is not a fulcrum of your doctrine (or is it dogma?) in relation to the significance of christ's mission and purpose, which is your salvation.

for this salvation to manifest, his blood had to be shed; for the blodd to be shed, he had to be crucified, and since he was kind of reluctant to get affixed to the cross (fleeing, and remember " my god, why have you forsaken me?" - matthew 27:46 is cry for help in any language, and also remember Gethsemane, where he was so distraught "his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."- Luke 22:43–44. remember also he instructed his disciples to sell their garments and buy swords with which to resist capture)

obviously christ didnt want to shed his blood however his earlier  covenant with his father for the necessity of this sacrifice of the Only Begotten.

so as Judas was instrumental in carrying the plot to its intended conclusion in the face of christ's reluctance to die we can wholeheartedly say Judas actually saved christianity.

but like i said earlier, John made it quite clear in an alternate retelling of the legend that christ himself identified himself, therefore making moot Judas' perceived treachery.

if the blood of christ was a prerequisite for christian salvation, therefore meaning christ HAD to be crucified, then Judas Iscariot is the real savior because of the role he performed.

otherwise there wouldnt have been any salvation and the christian portion of mankind would have been doomed to eternally wallow in perpetual sin.

in the bible it says the entire saga of christ's birth in the manger, his wanderings, preachings, death and ascension were all preordained long before earth was created with the knowledge of christ himself.

now if that be the case, jesus knew well before the Seventh Day that a certain Judas was required to play a crucial part in the divine plan to rescue christianity (even though clearly it was actually jews he came to save).

so if Judas was required in a preplanned salvation, how then could he be said to be a villain?

he ought to be celebrated not only as a martyr, but as one who played a vital part in this whole salvation plan. christ KNEW what he came to do, Knew what had to be done (ie shed his blood), knew how this blood shed was to come ( Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him. . . .- John 18:4) and yet neither he nor his father, punishers of Pharaoh's egypt, unravellers of Sodom and Gomorrah, struck Judas down with hale and brimstone. that says a lot.

(but then again one can open a flood of academic debate on the significance of Judas' betrayal of jesus for better or worse in cognizance of John 18:2-9 where Judas didnt need to betray christ; he voluntarily identified himself).

later scribes made Judas out to be a traitor, but is there greater treachery than when Peter denied jesus THREE TIMES?
