YAY! Optus helped me. I have a new iPhone. Only 8gb this time but I decided to get insurance rather than the ponying up for the 16gb.
Played with Skype on the iPhone today. Very nice, would be nicer if it could keep me logged in to receive calls, but still nice.
I got my iphone almost working again!
Its a simple recpe:
Wash iphone in distilled water. To insulate against the metal of the oven tray place iPhone on bed of rice. Bake for at least 4 hours at about 60 degrees centigrade .
Hopefully your iphone will again work, if not, throw iPhone away and eat rice.
The above worked for me, My iPhone still has some weirdness though. Camera is stuffed, as is the GPS. If the phone had been off when it was damaged I imagine that these problems wouldn’t have occurred. And the screen has some permanent water damage, a cloudy pattern which is always visible. Still better than a brick.
I just got stuck in the biggest storm I have ever seen. iPhone was in my pocket, and now it has water damage and is broken.
I don’t think a gadget breaking has ever made me actually sad before.
I just got my phone upgraded to the developer release of 3.0. It’s nice, I haven’t found it particularly slower than before, which I was worried about.
Tethering is awesome. The MMS and cut and paste has been implemented very well.
I haven’t encountered any major bugs yet either, although it seems other have. My biggest problem is that with Optus I cannot as yet mms and use the internet. I have to change the APN in the settings to the appropriate one for either task and then restart the iphone. So basically I don’t actually have mms working. But we are still a while from the the official launch and I am sure optus and apple can work it out by then.
I just bought an ice cream. Opened it and it was plastic. It was a marketing gimmick from streets, instead of an ice cream I get an mp3 player in the mail. But I wanted an ice cream. I have won something and actually feel let down. I hope the mp3 player tastes like chocolate.
I haven’t forgotten about technical posts, I just need something interesting to happen in my job so I can blog about it. The work has been a little mundane.
