I acquired an Iphone 3Gs yesterday and activated it. Had BlackBerrys for 3-4 years, and like Tom, been through about 6-7 of them...as I am hard on phones. Since I got the Iphone for free and I still have a new BB Bold in the box, I decided to try this phone out. Emails are much slower with the Iphone, but I was told it would be...the BB is almost instant. I dont like one icon for multiple email accounts. On my BB it had seperate icons on the home screen for each acct. I find it difficult to type on the iphone. I swore I'd never get one, but might as well try it out since it was free. I get dropped from insurance every 12 months b/c I make so many claims, so I can insure this phone, but if I drop it, Ive got my old BB Bold and a new one, so its a win win.

I also dont like that I cant seem to change the sounds for text and email. I guess its set for those, and I cant change them. Not a big deal, but I like on my BB that I can make different sounds for SMS, MMS, email, ring, voicemail, and choose whether or not I want them to vibrate with sound or without sound...and how loud for each. Seems you can customize the BB more than the iphone. I also dont like only 4 icons on the home screen (bottom) only. I got more on the BB home screen. Like I said, not a huge deal.

I have had a lot of phones since my wife works at AT&T. I like my iphone the best, it does drop calls more often then others. The reason is the iphone uses so much data it jambs up the system. For every one iphone they can runs five blackberrys. They know its a problem and have been working on the problem since the iphone came out. The 3gs is the best performer at the moment, apple has some software issues on the 4. They will get them worked out though.

Thats what I was told by ATT, hence why I am trying the iphone. My bb dropped multiple calls a day. Hope fully my iphone will suck everyone elses data up and not drop my calls. They also told me once the other carriers are able to offer the iphone, the dropped call issue will be resolved.

Not to mention, I listen to Pandora a lot. So much so that I bought a subscription. Whenever I am listening to it, and someone calls or sends an email or texts, you have to shut down the app, then restart it when I want to go back to it. What a load of crap.

No I havent, and I wont b/c I have already paid for unlimited listening with Pandora. Still, I dont like that the app closes when a get a phone call or have to check an email. On my BB, I can check emails or texts while the app ran, or answer a call and end the call and the app would continue. I find the BB easier to use as far as having less to go through to make phone calls. There are no smart keys on the sides of the iphone to access something quick like contacts or calculator. The key board is a bit quirky. If I mess up on a word its difficult to go back and correct it, where on the BB you scroll over to it and fix it, and the iphone has a predictive text on there and changes my words without me wanting it to and I dont know how to fix that.

I dont want to be too negative towards the iphone, b/c I do like it, but Im thinking I like the BB a little more. I may go back to my BB if this app thing bothers me too much.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
