The iPhone as a Photographer's Friend

well im having loads of fun with mine

uploading music photos and findin loads applications

glad i got the 16gb now

can you get msn on it ??
 
Blazzar - I've now turned off 3G too. Nightmare with the battery yesterday!

Fully charged phone overnight. Went out 9am over to MiL's for the day. On the way over, i try out 'Vicinity' to see if it's any good, but it cant get a location. Probably because we're on the M62?

So, never mind, phone back in pocket.

1.30pm "show my dad your phone". Ok, I say, and get it out of my pocket. Turn it on, and 'Flash Flash, you have less the 10% battery!". Phone then promptly dies on me when tried to collect emails

What!?

That's 4 and a half hours! And not even used. Fetch was turned off, as was wi-fi.

It's taking the pee! I will be return to CPW today to complain about faulty battery!
 
That doesn't sound good at all, perhaps vicinity was the last open app and it carried on using your GPS even though it couldnt find you. I suspect you may have a bad battery though as even still it should last more than 4.5 hours.
 
That's a possibility I'd thought of. Have charged up and will leave phone sat idly on desk today and see what the battery does.

I'm guessing if I take it back to CPW they are going to leave me phoneless for a period of time :(
 
Regarding Apps..... I'm having a real problem installing them to the phone. In iTunes, I double clicked on an app, and it installed (Brain Tuner). However I can't get it to do the same again.

Any ideas ?

You don't double click them to install them. You just plug your phone in and it syncs.
 
sorted...

I've just got a copy of TubeStatus, which is handy for anybody in London...

ive notice the battery does go quite quick, but that can sort of be explained by constantly laying with it

will just have to remember to charge it each night

I'd love to get it, but it's so damn expensive here.

But the only real thing that's putting me off is the small megapixel camera. A camera in the phone comes in so handy. My 3.2mpx k800i SE is just killer for this one thing.

I find that even though the camera is only 2MP, its damn sharp and the colours are perfect on it. I've tried alot of camera phones and the iPhone probably produces the best quality images
 
Well, good news... charged phone Sun night, yesterday I turned off wi-fi, turned off 3G, turned off location thingy, received calls, received texts, collected over 50 emails, reconfigured pop accounts, and this morning I have what looks like more than 80% battery life still left.

Woohoo!

I think the battery problem has a lot to do with fiddling with it. Use the phone 'normally' and it seems ok. Will just have to remember to charge if planning on doing lots of browsing or location stuff.
 
Good news, I think every iPhone user goes through the same pain. There are quite a few emergency power devices (little battery packs) that are coming out at the moment so I may pick one of those up because I love using Simplify (streams your itunes over the air from your desktop to the phone) and that needs at least 3G on.
 
I had the Nearpics app last night, anyone know how to take a pic and add it to the datebase? Looks like an interesting app :)
 
Not used Nearpics. I use Vicinity for possibly a similar thing.
 
Has anyone else got their portfolio on their iPhone? The screen is great for showing off photos...
 
I don't have a professional portfolio... but I will have a small 'family' portfolio on shortly for showing to family members etc. Bit like keeping a pic of the kids in your wallet, but slightly more high-tech :)
 
I keep my Flickr favourites on my iphone for inspiration, like I am going to Paris over the weekend so have downloaded the Paris ones. If I want to show my pics to people I usually use Exposure app.
 
I use exposure too thanks to this thread, but find it a little slow.
 
Can all this be put on the Itouch?????
 
i believe that they can

in the itunesstore it says itouch apps

Exposure also has a Near Me option to see flickr images near your location
