Iphone and the 370

I think the new gen for the iphone is coming out next month sometime. Auto features for increasing battery life were supposed to be addressed.

AT&T sucks. I've read that a lot of people has been complaining that they get drop calls and what not. Personally i've been having a lot of problems with att. Tons of drop calls.
Why don't you get the new blackberry's or the new palm pre that's going to come out in june. Be different.

To those who have spoken with "experts" on the matter of a new iPhone coming out maybe you should look at Apple's history. Apple does not leak, plain and simple. You usually only hear rumors until the week of a product release.

Seriously, if you plan to buy an iPhone just wait a month or two and be sure.

Hmmm I remember when the Color was coming out rumors showed up a few months before the announcement. Alot of times there are alot of speculations about new Apple products most of the time they are spot on with hardware releases. Apple didnt confirm 3G but everyone knew it was coming.

But on a side note I love Apple products too (except Mac's) the Ipod are great very clean they pay alot of attention of detail.

I haven't spoken with any "experts" but I know that a new iPhone is coming out with new software.

As for the new iPhone. OS 3.0 has been announced and is coming out in June (no one knows when in June, but if I had to guess, it will be one of the last days of June). It will be free to all current iPhone users. Adds many features, including background notification/processes, copy/paste, mms, stereo bt, note sync'ing, and many many others.

On the same day, Apple will likely release the new iPhone. Although practically no one knows this to be the case, everyone who follows Apple DOES KNOW this to be the case, there just isnt (and there never is) any confirmation from Apple or Att.

By all rumors and accounts, and these seem to be getting pretty accurate as of late. You're looking at a somewhat increased speed on the CPU, almost surely a 32GB model offered, improved camera (likely 3megapixels which will likely still suck as a camera, as every phone camera does) along with video-recording abilities. Compass type feature as in G1.

^ agreed! I was with Verizon for over 6 years and switched to att&t just for the iphone...and I dont regret it for a second! The iphone is amazing! I have not experienced any of the issues Anatoray is having. I know about 10 people with iphones and besides the standard gripes like no MMS and battery life (soon to be fixed in OS 3.0) they all RAVE about it with almost cult-like enthusiasm haha. The service is not Verizon-grade but the features/interface of the iphone more than make up for it IMO.

I "jailbroke" my iPhone and have video camera capability already -- pretty good video, as a matter of fact. I also have FTP-like capability for moving large files wirelessly between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. On a jailbroken phone, there is also an easy toggle feature to access things like the Bluetooth setting and the WiFi setting, to optimize performance in the car and preserve battery life.

iPhone is the finest smart phone by an incredible margin -- truly one of the best devices to come along ever. I'd put it one notch below the regular phone in terms of historical significance.

That's why I'm eager to learn how well it works with the Z. How about the Touring stereo (BOSE)? Without nav, can I run an AUX IN + USB power for an iPhone to the back of the unit and discreetly use the iPod function of my phone while I store it in the center console compartment?

What all have you guys found?

This thread needs some updating! :-p

I'm looking to buy a new 2010 370z and was able to test drive one this weekend with the nav system. I was VERY pleased with how easy it worked with my iPhone 3G! I was a bit shocked the nav system didn't see or couldn't play my videos on my iPhone though.

Any idea about how to get videos to play off an iPhone (while parked of course)?

Buy the componet cable for the iphone, plugs in to the Z under the USB port.

This is an old thread but I have a 3GS and it works perfectly with the Z. The ambient noise in the Z makes some calls difficult, but if you aren't on the phone constantly it shouldn't be a problem.

If you don't have Nav, I recently got the TomTom iPhone app and carkit and it is really cool. I attach it to my windshield in the lower left corner of the windshield. The kit has bluetooth for calls, and audio out port for the aux-in jack, charges phone, is a great holder, and, of course does nav.

Do you think you can take a cabin shot of your setup? I'm interested to see what it looks in a Z.
