IPhone 3g vs HTC G1

Thank you for your inquiry regarding your iPhone 3G Farid.

The issue with your iPhone 3G going to the iTunes with USB screen mode, is an indication that the upgrade you attempted to perform somehow removed the previous iOS (iPhone Operating System) you were using prior to the upgrade you were attempting achieve.

As a result, you are correct. Because you are connecting your iPhone 3G to another computer, you would not be able to sync with the other computer's iTunes library, without risk of losing all of your media on the iPhone 3G.

To resolve this issue, you would need to attempt to perform a restore back to the factory settings on the computer that contains the iTunes library you have original synced your iPhone 3G with.

This process will wipe the data from your iPhone 3G, yes, but if you have previously synced your iPhone 3G with that iTunes library on the computer in the past, that means the iTunes library will have some previous back ups from those past syncs you have performed with your iTunes library.

If that is the case, then when you perform the factory restore Farid, you will then need to follow up and perform a restore from your most current back up process in iTunes, so you can restore your iPhone 3G back to its most current settings and data, contacts, and pictures.

For a support page reference on how to perform a factory restore and a restore from a previous back up her is a link I would like to provide you for review:

You can also use a software solution if you do want to safely transfer your data from your iPhone 3G to another computer with another iTunes library on another computer if you so choose.

One of the better software titles I recommend is called: Media Widget iPod Transfer Software

This is a great software solution for any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad product.

Let me know if this helps. If you have more questions regarding this issue or what I have provided,, please free to reply back to this post.

You must have 3G enabled on your plan, for your phone. Not just enabled on your phone. They know what phone each particular plan is supposed to be for, especially iPhones.
You need to call ATT and tell them to change 3g data plan from iphone to standard data plan three G.

Hi,
What's your question?
If it's regarding unlock, then please jailbreak using redsn0w, then install ultrasn0w by adding this to the repo: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com/
After installing ultrasn0w, your iPhone will be unlocked.

Please accept this solution in FixYa if my answer solved your issue. If you have any more problems, let me know.

Thanks -Pragith

Touch HD is the best windows device upto date

The Nokia n97 will be avilable by the Mid-2009. Both the n97 and iPhone are equally good. But I recommend that you go for the new iPhone 3G S, which is a lot more faster than the previous version, iPhone 3G. It has many improved features.Visit this link for more details : http://www.omnitrix.info/2009/06/new-and-notable-iphone-3g-s.html

1. The G1's Not a Real Media Player ... Yet
The iPhone doesn't just play back video—it's one of the best (and best-looking) portable media players on the market. While we'll certainly see developers making video playback programs for the G1, there are none built into it. But Apple beware: If there's one thing the open-source development community loves, it is support for a wide range of video formats and codecs. All it will take is one robust mobile playback program (mobile VLC, perchance?) to make users remember just how much they hate converting videos into MP4 so they'll play on an iPhone.

2. The iPhone is Thinner
The G1's slide-out keyboard may be useful, but it comes at a price: The G1 takes us back to the pocket-bulging smartphones of yesteryear, while the iPhone is svelte enough to fit in the front pocket of your Levis.

3. No Multitouch
The G1 uses a capacitive touchscreen. This is the same highly sensitive type of screen found on the iPhone (most touchscreen phones use mostly inferior resistive touchscreens), and should allow the G1 to compete when it comes to touch sensitivity. But the G1 does not have the iPhone's multitouch capability. While the G1 attempts to make up for it by utilizing "long-touches" to bring up deep menus, it loses out on the huge amount of functionality (and coolness) that comes from the iPhone's ability to sense two fingers at once.

4. Terrible Headphone Jack
The iPhone proved that people were willing to listen to music on their cellphones. Still, most manufacturers are reluctant to put a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack on their phones, forcing customers instead to use bulky adaptors or subpar bundled headphones. The 3G iPhone bucked that trend (the original had an annoying recessed headphone jack that could only take specially made headphones), but the G1 relies on an irritating proprietary plug. To make things work, early indications are that adaptors won't even be available when the phone first hits shelves, making the bundled headphones the only choice.

5. Internal Memory
The iPhone currently comes in 8 GB and 16 GB varieties, and we'll likely see a 32 GB version before long. The G1 has just 192 MB of onboard memory, and comes with a 1 GB micro-SD card. That's not really enough memory for a phone that's supposed to be full of music and downloaded applications. If you want an 8 GB G1, you'll have to purchase an 8 GB micro-SD card, which will push the price of the phone from $179 above the iPhone's $199 price tag. If T-Mobile, Google and HTC really expect us to use the G1 as a mobile computer, they'll need to give us more memory.

This happens if you are using a iphone 2g plan on a 3g iphone. At&t system is getting smart and it knows what kind of iphone you are using by the IME. So far no other solution but upgrading your plan to a 3G. This means $15 more a month

Two things I don't like about the IPhone:
1) It can only handle one e-mail account.  You would think they would change that since Blackberry's can handle up to 10 e-mail accounts.
2) You can't cut and paste text on an IPhone.
When I spoke to T-Mobile I asked about 3G having bluetooth even though it wasn't listed in the specs.  They said it was in it.
The preorders for the 3G were over 25,000.  I was eligible to get one but ended up going to a Blackberry because the 3G doesn't allow for phone calls on Hot Spot.  It does have wi-fi on 3G but it only works for data only.
Just depends on what you want for features.

i would suggest the g1 but thats my opinion. the iphone has more apps available. but the g1 will constantly be updated while you need new phones with iphone for some software upgrades

The iPhone 3G has all the features of the first one,
plus faster 3G data downloads,
GPS, and a better battery life.
Externally, the phone's casing is slightly changed, with a thinner edge and thicker middle, but a flush headphone jack and solid-colored back make up the only other major differences visually. Everything else from the screen to the number of buttons and switches on the outside are the same.
