I haven’t written anything about the new 3G iPhone (except the iPhone version 2.0 software announcement<\/a>) for a few reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I was on holiday when it was announced and have yet to catch up on all the coverage.<\/li>\n
  2. I’m not sure if I need<\/em> 3G or GPS (note the emphasis on need<\/em> – want<\/em> is an entirely different issue).<\/li>\n
  3. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with my 1st generation phone if I do upgrade…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of my friends has sold his v1.1.4 iPhone on eBay this week (unlocked) for a whopping \u00c2\u00a3233 – not bad for a second-hand mobile handset – leaving him plenty of cash in the kitty for the upgrade (even if the old handset he’s using until he can get his hands on a new iPhone is driving him mad). Mine has a small scratch on the side (left by a grain of sand that got caught between the phone and the case it lives in) but is otherwise immaculate – it’s had a screen protector since day one and always lives in a case. Even so, I don’t think it will fetch as much as my friend’s – but hopefully it would be enough to cover the cost of the upgrade.<\/p>\n

    I did think of keeping the v1.1.4 iPhone as a spare handset – with the v2.0 software but then again I hope I’ll never need a spare iPhone. I could give it to my wife but she doesn’t like the iPhone form factor and the various extended family members that I’ve spoken to don’t seem that bothered either.<\/p>\n

    I also toyed with unlocking it and using with the SIM for my business cellphone but the two-dozen or so of my colleagues who have done this have been tracked down “asked” not to use the iPhone on the Vodafone<\/a>
    \n network (bizarre – as the Vodafone network must have many iPhones in use on it and I’m sure they don’t get upset about other unauthorised\/untested handsets). Perhaps changing the IMEI to     my officially sanctioned Nokia 6021<\/a> would work. But then again, maybe they will have another way of tracking me down and I’m sure that “asked” will become “instructed”.<\/p>\n

    Then there’s the whole issue of whether Apple or O2 will require me to have the old handset with me when I upgrade. I sure hope not, because selling mine before the price tanks on July 11 will make a lot of sense… so I’m considering taking it to the pawn shop (as long as I can get enough for it to cover the cost to upgrade) – and I can always buy it back if I need it!\"Hit<\/p>\n

    So many choices! And I still don’t know if I will upgrade or not.<\/p>\n

    In any case, I wanted to share some iPhone tips – and one source is the excellent iPhone Hacks<\/a> website – but I stumbled across a hidden feature myself a few days ago, completely by accident (this phone is running v1.1.4 and is not unlocked or jailbroken). I have a PIN code set on my phone, but that’s a real pain if I need to pause the iPod functionality on the phone for some reason (slide to unlock, enter the PIN code, then access the iPod controls). Then I found that, if I hit the home button twice in quick succession, it lets me access basic playback controls without unlocking the screen. Neat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
