Right?
For 6 just go to Settings->General scroll to bottom and hit reset, chose your options there.

I would watch going to ATT as they'll hit you with all the associated iPhone fees.

You could just add a line and see what phone they give you for free or the cheapest one.

Take the SIM out and swap into iPhone.

Another way to do 6 if the phone is pass locked and you have forgotten or don't know the pass is, turn off phone, launch iTunes, plug usb into PC, push and hold Home button on iPhone and insert USB into phone keeping Home button depressed the entire time. iTunes will tell you the phone needs to be reset.

Looks like my first hour will be spent downloading iTunes 10.

If I swap the sim card from a freebie phone associated with just a voice line, into a iPhone 3G, then tell me if this is right: (1) when on wifi, the 3G works just like an iPhone w/ a data plan, and
(2) when on cellular, it works for voice and texting only, no location services or email or web?

It looks like I backed up my phone to my iCloud then when I updated my wife's phone it asked for my password to restore it was to my icloud and it added all my apps to her phone along with her apps? Is this possible?

Mine was done on my computer and the wife's was done on her computer.

Pretty much correct. That's how it works when you swap in a Pay As You Go SIM.

But you will need a new SIM for the 4. The 3GS uses a standard size SIM while the 4 uses a micro SIM. ATT store should do that for you or you can simply take a razor blade and trim the 3G SIM down to micro SIM size.

Yes.

Even before the cloud if both phones used the same iTunes Store login you could go buy an app from one phone, then on the second phone go try to buy it again and it would tell you that you already purchased it and allow you install on the 2nd device for no charge.

ATT iPhone 4's do not have a SIM card -- not sure if any iPhone 4's have a SIM card, but IIRC, Verison 4's do.

You have that backwards.

Verizon phones do not use SIMS in the US.

Some Verizon phones like the BlackBerry did have a SIM slot for use internationally.

ATT and T-Mobile are GSM and use SIMS.

Like Scott said.. ATT does, but it's now a micro sim.. It's on the side of the 4, not the top as the case with the 3 series.

Guys, take your big sim card, and cut right around the gold chip looking part...

Viola you now have microsim...

And yes, ATT uses SIM, verizon and sprint do not.

Jeez, my 4S has been sync'ing w/ iTunes for close to 3 hours. Copying 789 of 1686 songs as we speak. Either something is really slow w/ my system, or we need USB 2.0.

Did my iphone 4 the first night to make it the guinea pig. No issues with the install. Not much in it for me, i do like the notification center, but i wish you could set it to always be your startup screen.

Too bd Siri wasn't included, oh well i guess Apple needed something to sell the 4s'

Saw a report today that said the iPhone 5 will be out by April. I know no one knows for sure, but Apple said that the new iPhone traditionally comes out in the spring and since they didnt have it ready yet, under peer demand, they released the 4S now and will release the 5 next spring.

OK, just finished 2 3Gs, 1 iPod and 1 iPad. Total time for all 4 devices from start to finish, including download, was 19 minutes!

Who else has done a 3Gs? I dont have the camera icon on the lock screen on either of mine like they show in the aritcle. I'm assuming that must be a 4 or 4S thing?

My 4S battery is draining fast.

iOS 4.3 had bad battery drain in beta, then the production version was good. I imagine they'll fix this, hopefully soon.

Double click the home button and the camera button should appear.

I got a problem that a search on google doesn't show anything. We all have ios5. My father in law (iphone4) sent a iMessage to my wife (iPhone 3gs) which worked but I (iPhone 4s) got the same message also. We have different iCloud accounts, different email addresses, different iTunes accounts. What am I missing? I don't see a reply to all option.

- what good is this upgrade on the iPhone 4?

it tells me it will wipe out all my apps etc., so how many of you actual users think it worth having to redo all that again?
