As with most of the rest of the Worlds iPhone owners, I updated my iPhone 3G to the long-awaited OS 3.0 on Wednesday 17th June 2009. Surprisingly, it seemed to take far less time to complete than any of the other software updates I’ve applied to my iPhones. As to be expected from what we already knew though, most of the new features are subtle ones. The most obvious is the Messages app, which has replaced the old SMS app. Other than that, theres nothing remarkably obvious to differentiate it from 2.2.1. Not that thats a bad thing.

I’ve been reading about the 100+ new features, both known and hidden, but I wanted to note down the ones I’ve experienced which I particularly like or dislike. I’ll keep adding to this list as time goes on. Continue reading 'Exploring iPhone OS 3.0 On My 3G iPhone'»

In an earlier post, I mentioned that Hotmail was now able to be configured in the iPhone’s Mail application, using POP3 access, directly to the MSN Live Hotmail service. No 3rd party tools required. No Hotmail Plus required.

After adding my Hotmail account to my iPhone, I dug into the settings to find out what the server details are. These should then be able to be used with any POP client:

Incoming Server

Server: pop3.live.com
Username: user@hotmail.com
Password: your hotmail password
Use SSL, port 995

If the option is available, ensure ‘delete messages from server’ is disabled.

Outgoing Server

Server: smtp.live.com
Username: user@hotmail.com
Password: your hotmail password
Use SSL, port 587
