And yes boys and girls, my phone is Jailbroken =) Honestly, it's not something I recommend anyone do... but I will say I can't live without the jailbroken functions of my iDevices =P Sarah: BeeJive consistently has high ratings. The price puts people off, but c'mon! An app that works that well for what- $10 to $12? That's a bargain if it's useful =)\ Au Pairs: Glad you liked the post =) Yes, the screen is beautiful! Maybe next year Apple will go to OLED screens...

Blog posts are so much better with some pictures. Your recommendations about helping save or increase the battery life are so helpful. A beautiful screen comes with the cost of a fleeting battery!

It lets me stay logged on to my instant message accounts when I'm not at my computer. It functions much like text massaging on the iPhone, but without those pesky charges. :) I have to give a shout out to BeeJive IM.

This is what I did to set up: Under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars Select Add Account > * Here you will be prompted with a menu that has Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Select 'Other'. Choose Add Mail Account, then enter your contact info for your mix account. After it checks your info, select IMAP at the top so that it is highlighted in blue. Now, for the section IMAP Account Information: Name: Enter your full name. Address: Enter your full mix address. (Description will fill in itself) For the section called Incoming Mail Server: Host Name: mix.wvu.edu User Name: type your mix username Password: type your mix password For Outgoing Mail Server: SMTP: exsmtp.systems.wvu.edu After you Save all of this information, it takes about 5 minutes to process... Just wait until it finishes, it will work, I promise :) Finally, after your email is set up, go back into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars Click your mix account Click SMTP Under Other SMTP Servers, Turn ON AT&T SMTP Server This will help with sending emails. That should be it! Good Luck. Hey I thought that some of the posts for setting up mix on your iPhone were pretty confusing so I thought I’d add what I know:
