i luv ur videos cause there really down to earth and easy to understand thnks for be such an average persone and not someone who is really technical thnks
i would like to have an on screen keyboard for landscape mode, so you dont keep having to turn it around and also a portrait one so that you can type in quick replies without having to slide open the keyboard.
One of the best reviews on youtube atm. Quick question. Hows the battery life? I heard a lot of bad things about it, so plz can u go over that? Thanx!

hello JR, i just wanted to say how very helpful you are..;0) GREAT PRESENTATION by the way and you are being yourself. ur what i was looking for. see I have the palm centro and luv it.. what about your doc's, i write poems and such in my doc's when u have a file to move to ur email and such...when u mess with that it would be nice to hear what you think about that.
and then one last question is no one has mentioned if there are any games on the phone
Ill try to include your first question in the next video.
As far as your Games question, there are only 3 games: Sudoku, Connect 4, SpeedBrain. I have a feeling you probably wont see games like the ones the iPhone has until the Pre gets Flash support, but thats just a guess.
ONLY Gmail, Microsoft Exchange Server (Outlook), and Facebook can pull contacts and calender. So if you set your Yahoo/AOL email up for example it won't pull contacts or calender that you have in those email accounts. Good videos by the way. Hopefully the pixel issue isn't too big of issue with other Pre's out there. There are already hard to get, going to be harder if alot of people need a exchange on their pre. Although the good news is that everyone that has problems still love the phone!
With light calling/texting and heavy browsing, emailing, YouTube'ing, and lots of Google Mapping (yep, bad sense of direction :) ), I got about two days worth before I hit the 10% level.
The battery life is alright, if you just make calls and text it will last you all day, but if your a heavy data user be prepared to charge this thing atleast twice in a 24 hour period. They make an extended battery for it that is the same size, gives you 20% more life. So getting that would help and switching out between the two batteries would give you all day heavy use easily.
Thank god, there are so many crappy videos about the Pre I was relieved that you didn't look like a douchebag, and turns out your video's pretty informative as well! Just to let you know, the iPhone 3G does allow you to download songs over AT&T's network, not just WiFi. But I had a question: when you have multiple tabs open for the browser, does it reload the page every time you go back to a tab that was already loaded? The iPhone does that, and it's really annoying. Anyway, thanks for the vid!
Oh thanks ya I read a lot of reviews and it looks pretty good I think I'm going to get it and by the way Great videos u should make some more

how many songs do u think it could hold since it doesnt have a micro sd slot
futurenba93 2 years ago
The phone comes with 8GB. I would say with average quality mp3s you could get more than a 1,000 tracks some room for apps, etc.

What do you use for app purchasing? PayPal?

You can download music over 3G on the iPhone.
The iPhone has "Next" and "Previous" buttons when you're entering your username and password and any other kind of text fields.
Just to let you know. :]

Media downloads over 3G have a 10 MB cap. Anything bigger needs to be dl in wifi.

does the phone refuse to open certain applications when the phone has a low battery to conserve battery power?
13isthegreatest 2 years ago
From my experience, no. However, a message does appear in the notification bar that you are running low on battery. I noticed it at 10%.
thefluxlife 2 years ago
