Making free ringtones is easy in itunes:

1. Pick a song
2. Right Click > Get Info
3. Set the start and finish times to the part of the song you want to use as a ringtone, they must be less than 40 seconds apart
4. Right Click > Convert to aac
5. Right Click on the created file > show in windows explorer
6. Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r
7. Import that file back into itunes and it will now be listed as a ringtone
8. Dont forget to reset the start and finnish times on your original song and delete the song created in step 4 from your library

The MMS app is great, when you first get a mms from o2 you get a text telling you to go to the website and a pin, all you do is put the pin into the app and whenever you get a text from o2 telling you that you have a new mms it automatically downloads it into the app and deletes the text you got. sending them is easy as well however currently you have to purchase credit seperately via paypal, it varies between 25-35p per mms. as for video calling, never, ever used that and never heard of anyone doing so either. and not many other phones allow you to upgrade past 16gb anyway.
Battery life i find to be ok really, ive been using mine today and its still showing half battery and ive done about an hours web browsing, played a few games, about 5 hours music, and had it checking my mail every 15 from 2 accounts.

The bold has gotten quite a few bad reviews because of the on screen keypad being nigh on impossible to use comfortably, the storm is quite good. have had several htc phones in the past, the build quality is utter shite now, used to be good and there support is equally bad, i remember a group of people fighting for a couple of years to get the drivers for a graphics chip that was in one of the phones (it was the orbit 2 on o2 but i cant remember the htc codename for it sorry) because they couldnt be bothered implementing it despite advertising the phone as having the chip, they never did get it. and ive vowed never to get another windows mobile phone, i dont care how much crap they se to cover it up its a slow and buggy platform. at the end of the day i wanted a decent enough phone capable of playing music and browsing the web that just worked, i couldnt care less about video recording etc (i had an n95 8gb before it and that has a quite decent camera, in the 6 months i had it i took 36 photos and 3 videos of which 0 were kept when i wiped the phone) and if that is what you want the the iphone is brilliant, i wouldnt swap it for any phone ive had previously (and theres quite a few of them)

That actually is brilliant. There's so many songs I'd love as a tone, but the intro's don't work as one.

When is my iPhone going to realize that when I type 'lol' I want it to be lower case and not 'LOL'. Predictive wants to make me sounds like an overexcited child.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Perhaps Martha is the name of a cereal?

the person is writing that as their daughter (Martha) is deaf and she is playing with her food

the only way they communicate with her is by text so they are just telling her to eat up her food

Yeah it just doesn't read the hard drive, tried everything.

Last resort is wiping the damn thing & starting from scratch.

Of all the snarky Apple references in pop culture, my all time favorite is this brief clip from The Simpsons. During a school assembly, Kearney tells his buddy, "...take a memo on your Newton: Beat up Martin." He scribbles away only to see the Newton's handwriting recognition interpret his memo as "Eat up Martha."

A few years ago, a number of plastic Simpsons characters were issued, and the Kearney character actually shipped with a tiny Newton with "Eat up Martha" on the screen. I have one in my office.

Anyone know any good apps to let you view text files, word docs etc.

And how do you download stuff from Safari, even just pics.

Oh, and flash - whats the deal with that.

To download picures you just need to keep your finger on the image for 5 seconds and a prompt will appear.

You can also take a screenshot of your phone by holding the off button and then pressing the home button.

Ah, I've just realized For some reason my phone was much quieter than usual even though the volume was up full. Seems to be better now though.

I heard people say that Orange is getting the iPhone but at best it would be the 2g version (the best built one imo), i say at best because O2 signed a 5 year contract with Apple when they got it which was 2-3 years back. I think the only reason people are saying it may come to Orange is because Apple most likely want to sell to as many people as they can and have realized that the whole country isnt going to move over to O2 to get one and finally theres a new one coming out in the summer so they most likely want to get rid of old stock.

But you could do what most people do buy a iPhone on ebay and get it unlocked.

I haven't actually gotten it yet, he's dropping it off tomorrow. I will have to get it unlocked though as I am only 3 months into an 18 month contract with my BlackBerry, so I'll have to use my t-mobile sim.
