I suppose somebody had to start this. A place for us saddoes wh have succumbed to the lure of the pretty touch screen.

Killer apps, flight control leagues, top tips, this is the place for it all.


My two tips are, when typing a quick shame of the phone brings up the undo option with another shake doing redo.

Tip 2, hold off and tap, well, the other button to take a screenshot that is saved in your photos.


God I'm sad.

Lol, very true moos!!


No problem with hot battery but I'm generally appalled by the battery life in general. Other downside is that it's pretty patchy at all that phone call malarkey. Other than that it's a pretty wonderful tool. First truly good intrrfac I've ever used in more than thirty geekness filled years

Mockney, the opening post is perhaps the most intelligible you?ve made since you got that dam thing. I?m still a bit vague on the meaning but taking into account the iphone autocorrect mishaps I?ve seen in the past I assume by, ?Killer apps, flight control leagues, top tips, this is the place for it all.? You meant, ?Come on chaps, fighting to control my legs, top tits, this place has it all.? and I?m wondering why I wasn?t invited.

have had mine just over a week and yes, it's love!


Had to go over to chelsea yesterday so used the National Rail app (which seems to be priced at ?4.99 but sure didn't pay th at much!) to get my trains, and then the map to guide me to the address... sighhhh, how did I cope before.


Record on flight control so far is 80 on the 2 helipad one - sure you can all shame me with your scores!!


Any tips on good app's to get? Got shazam and urbanspoon sorted!

i'm thinking about an i-phone, how bad is the battery? and what are the issues around making calls?

It's actually a series of lectures on a bunch of paintings but point taken.


Battery is ok. For normal phone use or as an iPod. Anything that uses 3G functionality can sap t surprisingly quickly though I gather the latest phone is better at this.


Phone I find patchy at best, it complains about coverage slot whereas my previous ericsson on O2 had excellent coverage, so the missus seems to find herself ging to voicemail quite a bit. Mind you my office is a dodgy signal hole.


On balance I would recommend it though, it's even helping me get past my diary dislexia which family and friends definitely appreciate

I'm now a fan of iPhone. Battery life can be a bit of a problem - tho' it recharges very quickly. I use m ine with my desktop Apple Mac and synchronise everything - calendars, contacts, notes via "Mobile Me" - a form of cloud computing.


The quality of the screen and its size makes it great for carrying round a small portfolio of photos - used last week to show 85 year old mother photos of her grandchildren skiing and generally being active.


Only note of caution - I upgraded from a very old Nokia so the leap in technology was that much more impressive. I didn't compare the iPhone with other similar products.

The battery really isn't that bad tho is it?


not if you ipod and make calls like a normal phone


But the fact that it is effectively a laptop in your hand and I for one tend to use it like a laptop all day long - well best part of day froma single charge isn't so bad.


It's a victim of it's own success really - no other product which does as much has a better battery life to my knowledge

    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
