    Default iPhone

    I just have to tell someone.... I am so pumped right now..... I was all bummed out because I was having to switch from my Windows 7 phone to an iPhone because of work. I LOVE my HTC Arrive and had not been long got passed the learning curve that comes with getting a new phone. Then it hit me..... I can hook the iPhone up to the Syper and listen to my tunes.... I was going to buy an iPod as a Christmas gift to myself but I don't need it now.... and I don't have to wait until Christmas to blast out Adele and Nickleback followed by a little Willie Nelson (hehe I said a little willie ) while I'm cruising to work. Granted this isn't rocket science but hey when the light bulb clicks on I have to share!!!! The best part... work is paying for the iPhone, sweet......

    and since I listen to a WIDE variety of music... the trike gets an
    extra look from people. not to mention the charging aspect of
    having it plugged in.

    OK set the scene: Non techie great grannie with previous cell phone a flip phone: Gets Iphone 4s...8 yr old grandson operates blindfolded...learning curve much less than I thought...now I love, love, love this crazy phone and KNOW i am only using a small % of it's ability. Starting using Siri this am...at one point I muttered this is stupid (obviously I wasn't getting what I wanted)..Siri replies.."give me a break I'm doing the best I can". Dang let's see I would have to go back TO work, get unretired to have phone paid for...NOPE ain't happening...gladly pay my own!!!!
    Crank up those tunes!!!!

    Just rip your CDs and load them onto your iPhone then you don't have to download tunes. That is if you or a friend already have that CD.

    Have you tried it "on the road"? How did it work moving from cell to cell?

    Yup. Not a long ryde but 40 miles. Worked really well. I did lose it once but it buffered and came back. I'm sure if coverage was marginal and thus limited 3G bandwidth, it might be like any streaming thing- iffy.

    I've used the XM App for awhile now and have had good success.

    I wouldn't say sucker at all. You notice one item not on my list is CB. I do not have that. No real reason. I'm in the professional 2-way biz for cops, etc. so I'm no longer a CB guy. I USED to have so much CB gear (in my 20s) that it was an obsession .

    There is a relatively simple way to get it all to a BlueTooth helmet. Again, the operative word is TO the helmet, not bi-directional. Bi-directional is more complicated.

    Since we talking about IPhones, how many of you have the 4S? I have the IPhone and thinking about updating to the 4S. What is your opinion on the 4S? Yes, IPhone is great for music while you ride.

    You need to download this app, it's like free XM on your iphone. I've gone cross country using it.

    Having the 4 already it just wasn't different enough for me to make the move. If I had the 3G I would have been all over it.

    I'm with Lamont. In my office there are 60% iPhone users. A couple of the guys are always the early adopters and have the 4S. But for me.... not enough difference. BUT.... I did take my 4 to OS5 and I do like some of the new features.

    Oh... and I stayed in a Holiday Inn and I feel great!

    What? No Best Western this time!

    My wife got the iPhone 4s and is loving it, infact she has already asked "siri" where is a good place to
    Bury a body, and it gave her a whole list of suggestions she told me about, as she was smiling

    As a general rule never buy any software or hardware that the version ends in 0 (zero).
