Hello guys,

I'm buying an Iphone in about a week's time (either Iphone 3 or Iphone 4). I'm just wondering if I need to download a driver so my PC recongizes it OK.

Offtopic: this will be my very first smartphone ever, I'm treating myself an early gift for Xmas (although I do not celebrate it).

The reason why I'm saying either is because I'm bidding for an Iphone 4 on ebay, but if I lose out I have found a buyer who is selling Iphone 3 (several for just £100) also on ebay. So either way I will get one next week.

So all I'm asking is do I need a driver?

Once it's plugged in it should be recognized automatically along with the driver installation.

How about getting your leaching arse a job and stop taking the tax payers money to pay for your toys.

I'm only able to afford one, because one of my expenses has gone down etc, also I had noticed the other day most of my young friends have got iPhones so I thought I'll better get one. Also I have nearly always fancied one any way, but I always thought they were beyond my budget, but I was wrong.

You have paid nothing into the system for over ten years, we should be leaving you to get off your asre or starve rather than paying for your iphone!!!!

I'm totally convinced.. those who choose welfare over working for a living.. do NOT, nor should ever have those toys.. so many are carrying around with them now days, on my tax dollars..
FREE stuff isn't FREE , someone of us, pays for those, who do NOT work to have such luxuries,
I was taught if you don't Work You Don't Eat or have a Place To Live.::mad2::devil2:

As someone who paid into the system for just over 50 years, I'm now on a basic pension which if I got a fair return for my investment should be at least four times what it is. But then I have always worked for a living and paid my dues. Was I daft all those years?
