There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The way I see it you can't keep up with the Droid changing "whats hot" every other month. I tried to like the Droid but it's clunky compared to the iphone. I don't bother with trying to convert anyone to iphone, I just smile and know I got something that will do everything I need to do and do it well. I can buy any phone I want just like you, I choose the iphone. :doorag:

A question or two about "Tupperware removal" should make its capabilities known... :gaah:

Just picked up an iPhone 4. Love it but taking a bit of time to figure out how to do all it can do,but eat new toy. Had to have something to play with until I get the new bike next week

I did buy a LifeProof case for it and installed it today. My other phone would have been fine if I had one of those to start with.

I'm a bit unclear about whether you can charge the phone when it is in the Lifeproof case? Also, can you use ear buds with it when it is in the case?

Yes to both.
Due to the waterproof nature, lifeproof sells a screw in pigtail with an o-ring that allows you to hook up earbuds, headphones, or connect to the 3.5mm connector for the Spyder tunes. Also the charger works fine with one caviat, the authentic apple chargers work best due to the plug size and even they are a tight fit. But all works fine. Love my lifeproof cover!!

I'm now on my 3rd iphone and I really love them-- especially since I'm on Verizon now. Got the lifeproof case and it's pretty darn cool-- but I usually only use it when on the Spyder--- use a different case other times-- but will probably end up just using it all the time...
I had a 3GS... then a 4.... then got that stolen and got another 4 covered under 'warranty'...
Note about the warranties they sell for the iphone........
They charge like $10..... and if it breaks or you lose it you can get another phone 'free' after the deductible. The deductible was a whopping $179.00 !!! I just about freaked out consideirng the phone only cost me $200 to begin with!
The insurance company was a third party company called Asurion--- and they were rude and a pain to deal with. Told me they could mail me a phone-- and it might be refurbished, used, similar model, etc.... I was steamed as I was going on vacation the next morning.
So the next morning I went to the local Verizon store and raised some hell. They made an exception and got a me NEW phone on the spot--- but I still had to pay the $180 deductible.... otherwise it would have been $700 !
I cancelled the plan on the new phone and am just more careful now. They also limit you to 2 claims per year.
Considering you can upgrade to a new phone every 2 years --- I just don't see paying $10 a month ($240 total -- plus however many deductibles @ $180 each) to be worth it. If it wasn't for the outrageous deductible then it wouldn't be so bad.
I've played with the droids too-- and they just don't have the smoothness of the iphone-- just seem clunky-- and with all the different versions each running different versions of the OS --- you can run into problems with compatibility.
I like my iphone so much I got an ipad too--- love them both!

:agree: with everything you said. The insurance is a joke for sure. I took my Lifecase off for now because it reduces the sound quality when I shoot video with it on and I shoot a lot of video.
I feel the exact same way about the Droid and the iPhone. As much as I think there are some really cool Droids out there they just don't operate the same and I can't keep up with what's the hot phone at the time. At least I can tell when I have the best phone out with the iPhone. :doorag:
