dont have skype cause didnt have webcam, but this facetime thing this phone comes with is awsome...

i was going to get a cam, but now i dont need it with this phone having same thing basically just different name, but only works with other I-Phones i think

going to take me a while going from crap basic cell with no web/pics, ect. to tech world with this thing

It takes 30 seconds and no knowledge to add Skype if you want to use it ever.

Just click the App Store icon and search for Skype. Should be about 3 clicks from there and it's installed and working.

I don't use many functions on my smart phone either, and was late adopter as well. But you'll soon find it so handy you will wonder why you waited so long ;-)

oh ok thanks opti i wasnt aware, probably will add skype then i didnt know i could have it just with 1 of those app things (just getting what those are 2)

yeah im a bit over-whelmed at the moment, but i should start picking things up quick...will learn how to make and upload videos/pics is also a goal

i already cant believe i didnt buy 1 yet, i can tell i will love all the things u can do, including bet when im not at home now!

probably be asking some questions to u guys if i get stumped

Neat phone

I had the. 3GS just last week treated myself to the new iPhone 5

nice!

this was $399+ tax/fees ect and the 5 was little more but they said 4S/5 were about same thing besides few small things, not that i know anything just what my mom and clerk said...i usually spent $50 on cheap(no web/or camera, ect) phones in the past so over $400 was alot for me for just a phone, plus i got a netgear WiFi box for my place..but from what i can tell will be well worth it

i mean these things are ALOT more than just a phone too...just never knew all the stuff that was possible now adays i guess

i feel like a kid @ xmas...

plus got a new car this weekend! (2009 model, but new to us cause we just got it)

Think it's all about getting the new gadgets in time for the new NASCAR season

There's a new app for the NASCAR season which can be downloaded from the App Store

One of the V8 Supercar teams is closing down and selling some bits and pieces from their workshop on Ebay and I noticed this poster.




Russell "The Enforcer" Ingall was Ambrose's team mate when he won his championships. And I had no idea he had ever driven NASCAR, so I bid on it.

I also never knew Kevin Schwantz drove NASCAR. He was a bit of a hero of mine.

A bit of searching revealed it was actually the car Ingall won a NASCAR race held around Bathurst in 1998 in, and he has not yet raced one in the US.

BUT... he has been trying to line up a drive in the NW series road races this year.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that.

[5mike5]

[Vegas39]

I have the 4 it does all I need. Got free upgrade in Feb so will get the 5

[5mike5]

yeah they said not really any big differnce in 4S and 5 so went with 4S...if they still sold them, i would need the 1 with my tech knowledge and still would have struggled with it..LOL...if not for my family wanting me to have" facetime", not sure i would bought it at all, but really glad i did already...it is nice calling and being able to see them since we live about 5 hours apart

hopefully ill learn quickly

[Vegas39]

Any questions feel free to ask.

The nascar mobile app is ok. Hopefully they fixed the issue last year where the drivers radios were not who they had listed.

Takes some time but you will love it

[shaunovery]

love my iphone5

[5mike5]

Takes some time but you will love it

i think so, or hope so anyways

every1 says the 5 was not worth the extra few dollars, and are the exact same thing besides a very small size differnce....they did however say there was a difference between 4 and 4S and recommended i definatley go with the 4S

just have to learn how to use something new on it everyday i hope...most would be easy but im coming from the basic of the most basic u could ever imagine

hopefully can learn to post pics/vids online too sometime soon

[5mike5]

also bought a "netgear" box too....for Wi-Fi

my mom and store guys said it was a must(Wi-Fi) to have for "facetime" and overall was a huge plus for whatever reasons when using the phone when possible

would need it i guess anyways cause probably getting laptop in a few weeks

[Vegas39]

Only thing 4 really doesn't have is Siri. If I need to know something I ask Opti or you Mike
