I got a new iPhone. My current iPhone is my second iPhone, as the first one had crackedglass, but Apple replaced it for free on Saturday

congrats on your beautiful closed platform phone ;) (I might, might get one as soon as someone hacks it and they start selling that 3G model here in the EU)
I hoped I could get that Colloquy interface working with my WM5 dumbphone, still have to figure out what the problem is...
har. it may be closed platform, but it syncs and works in general and is intuitive and I couldn't be much more satisfied by any other phone out there.
you might need to forward ports, that was my problem. otherwise it should work just fine if you follow the directions. granted, it's designed for the iPhone but it's just standard html and whatnot.
at least my newest phone can run dozens of programs. In theory. If they were properly programmed. If they were free. If the platform didn't suck. For a 'simple' phone, the iPhone just rocks. For a power user... the platform is just way too restricted imho. And where's Graffiti? ;)
The directions are hard to fail. My network is easy to fail... in theory, it should be on the same subnet, I can even get mobile *cough* IE *cough* to connect to my mac's webserver. I gave up pretty soon, because it isn't useful. When Colloquy is on, I just walk to my PB to chat. I want this plugin for irssi!
and although im not a fan of the huge number of 3rd party apps to dig through for palm/wm/whatever other mobile OS there is out there, at least the major ones are available.
I'm a Graffiti GODDESS! Erm, god. Or perhaps I am just nostalgic about Palm OS and the days you didn't have to be nostalgic about it.
I know nothing about Symbian, but I do know the difference between Palm OS and WM/PocketPC/Windows Embedded/whatever MS calls it today. With Palm OS, I could run OS 3 apps on OS 5, run 160x160 aps without a problem on 320x240 or even 400x240. It didn't matter if it was a smartphone or a PDA or a friggin' hand scanner. And the apps wouldn't crash (that bad) or complain I'm out of memory.
