Not without a walkthrough. That game drove me nearly insane.

Well, I picked up an iPhone last night. I'll have to look into some of these apps.

Two of the first things I've learned, however, are (1) the damned battery drains faster than a bottle of Jack Daniels at ENDelt's house, and (2) the iPod charger I have at work doesn't work for the iPhone. No more playing until I get home tonight. :banghead:

Just picked up my new 16gig 3g iphone yesterday and I'm loving the battery life... What kind of charger/cable do you have at work?? a firewire cable?

I have a dedicated iPod charger, but I think the cord predates the iPhone. It plugs in, but then I get a message saying the cord is incompatable. Battery isn't completely dead, but down to 20%. I obviously didn't leave it plugged in long enough last night.

I've ordered a couple of new cords from monoprice so I can have one for the office and one for the bedroom in addition to one I'll keep by the computer. Got a spare power pack as well.

Just curious, will the iPhone work just like an iPod Touch if you don't have the service? I have seen several iPhones on ebay cheap from sellers with good histories. Has anyone used an iPhone without any service?

I obviously didn't have the phone fully charged (the meter must be like the fuel gauge on a Chevy) because I did basically the same thing this morning that I did yesterday and it's fine.

IT will charge to 80% extremely fast. The final 20% takes a couple extra hours.

Nobody has any input on the Iphone question?

Jesus, I can't believe how many apps there are for this thing. I downloaded iFighter - that's a neat little game. Shazam is cool as hell, too.

Good luck putting it down. My son has the Touch and I have to work to avoid it. Been considering getting one for myself but the price tag kills me.

Yeah, that hurt, but damn this thing is neat. The multi-functionality is amazing, too. And God only knows what I haven't figured out yet.

Unless you are jailbreaking it you probably won't.

I just keep grazing through the free apps. Most of the paid apps I have seen are not worth it even at .99 cents. The only paid app we forked out the money for is Text Free unlimited.

I just wish the Touch was a thick as the iPhone. Just seems a little flimsy to me. would rather have a deactivated phone and use it as a touch.

The MLB app is great. It is a bit expensive at 9.99, but you can listen to any game and choose which teams announcers to listen to, plus video replay, boxscore, follow baserunners and pitch counts. When you are not in front of the TV watching it in HD, it is the next best thing IMO.

My understanding is that it will work like a touch. I have the same issue. Wife's first iPhone broke the screen on it and shelled out money for 2nd. We still have the first, and I may fix the screen for $125 and use it as an iPod touch. Throw Skype on it, and I have a phone in wireless zones.

I've heard both ways on it actually. I've heard they won't work at all once deactivated and they work once they have been activated once.

been all over the net and can't find a straight answer to the question. I figured there would have been quite a few that owned an original and upgraded to the 3g that would have done this already. Guess not though.

Stickwars is pretty damn fun.
