Damn this thing is cool, now I can be on 24/7

 

Well I'm back to my computer now.

I guess I'm the only tech geek that was excited about the Iphone???

 

did you stand in line all morning while the rest of us slept off our hangovers?

 

Awwh, don't feel down.

Sorry am a bit too late in response and some of us are just...shy.

3g iphone has reached Asia, but have not hit Singapore. I am in the waiting list but yet to confirm.
After the "hoo-haa" of feedback, which is not so +tive, I may want to reconsider.

Its cool to be able to be on network 24/7.

I used to log onto this site via my N70 and now Sony Ericcson W580i.

Soon to be via 3G iphone, or Blackberry... perhaps perhaps perhaps

Good luck to you with yours.

 

Sounds nice! If I had this site 24/7 I wouldn't get anything done and my wife would kill me .

 

I helped launch some of the tri-state area Apple Stores. So whenever they have something good in they usually keep one aside for me. I was able to pick up the 16gb white on Friday afternoon. The device is addicting..., I just wish there was a easy way to integrate this with the factory nav radio.

 

I just got a Sprint Instinct and it is great having all this cool stuff around the clock. I don't even have to log on to my computer to check e-mai any morel... ain't technology grand!

 

How are the 3G speeds? I'm planning on getting a black 16Gb model next month. I figured I'd give a little time for the furor to calm down before ditching my Q.

 

The 3G speeds are great, the speeds are substantially better than the Edge network. I actually waited until now to get a Iphone, I never purchased a original Iphone(2g). So far I don't have any complaints. They battery I would say is definitely the only downside. the Wi-Fi connectivity is amazing too. I'm toying with some remote desktop third party apps now, to manange some servers at the office.

For this price it just can't be beaten.

 

I have a 2G iPhone, jailbroken. I used it mainly to surf these forums and some others while in Science class (sophomore year in high school sucked).

 

Ah, that's actually something I'll be messing with as well. I just manage our IIS and MS-SQL servers for our web site and a few web apps (we have a whole slew of engineers for the actual platform), plus my personal dev boxes (Win 2k3), but it would be pretty useful to have RD capabilities from the iPhone. The only hitch is that I first have to VPN in to our network before I can RD to the server, but I think the embedded iPhone VPN client supports L2TP/IPSEC, so it should work with our Ciso routers.

 

English, man... English.

(for those of you who have seen Transformers)

 

I shall take back my words.

And replace, Most crossfireforum members are helpful in one way or the other.

Rodimus, now you have started a "fan-club".

 

We are paying $700+, compare to USD199 or USD299. That is w/out contract with any SP. I travel most of my time and I have lesser time to go back and forth to the agent. With that price, I hope it comes with less glitches.

Nevertheless, besides reading reviews from C/net, I appreciate firsthand experience feedback from you and others.

Thank you lots.

 

IIS= Internet Information Services
MS-SQL= Structured Query Language (pronounced Sequel) Databasing software
VPN= Virtual Private Networking... A way of private telecommunication
RD= Remote Desktop.. Controlling nodes from elsewhere, hence the "remote"
Win2K3= Windows Server 2003
L2TP= Level 2 Tunnelling Protocol... Encryption that occurs @ the 2nd layer of the ISO Model of Telecommunications
IPSEC= Internet Protocol Secured (IPv6??? It's been awhile) Standard US IP security is 128bit, that's why you see versions of MS Windows saying "For US Only" Winblows for export is @ 64bit encryption. IPv6 uses not only numbers in the IP Address (example: a simple router 192.168.0.1) IP v6 would be something in Hexadecimal (0-F with F being 16) 000af:0a0ab:etc. Look like Greek yet?? Which is why it hasn't caught on yet
Router= an intelligent device that directs packets of information to it's destination.

With all this now you are ready to decode his last post, something like this:

He's an IT custodian of some web servicing hardware, but has engineering support as backup should something catastrophic happen. Those machines are running Winblows Server 2003, but the current iPhone can't administer those boxes remotely (where the RD came in). Now because of the business sector as security minded as it is, (here's where the VPN comes in), to get into the company network, a secure means is necessary. Now to remotely access the servers to administer them the Iphone needs to talk to the Cisco router with the proper encryption language, otherwise all is lost.

There's your English.

Hope I got it all right, it's been a few years lying dormant...

I was just on planning on using it for the basic servers as well. I plan on using the Iphone to RD into the 3 DC's that we have at 3 separate offices. Just boring stuff like password resets and login scripts. We have a endless number of beginner users. Our other server.

For all the other Servers, SQL server 2005, print and file, terminal services, and a few other application servers, I still plan on using the old fashion RDP,, (j/k)..


tested the Iphone out tonight and it works great. A buddy of mine copied some code from various other 3rd party vendors to help. RDM+ is a good option he said without much tweaking.
