    I leave the sent from iPhone signature on because it lets my collegues, customers, boss etc know I'm travelling.

    That way I don't care about grammar and can be short in reply.

    Does this make me a wanker?

    Not caring about grammar ? Absolutely.

    Mine changed from Sent from my iphone to Kind regards as soon as i got the thing.

    However, when I'm pretending that I can't do that particular job cause I'm out and about at the moment and not back in the office (bedroom in my case), I revert back to "sent from my iphone"

    SENT FROM MY IPAD, SENT FROM MY KINDLE, SENT FROM MY BLACKBERRY.

    WHY OH WHY DO YOU DO THIS? :confused:


    My I phone is set to say sent from my phone, i edited out the i phone bit on the sinature.. reason been it sometimes goes out different looking than you intend, this just makes it clear that your replying but not in the this way and it cant be helped..

    It depends.

    Do you often find yourself stroking your iPhone?

    So when it says someone has 'checked in' somewhere, does that mean they actually went to their phone to say where they are or does it have some sort of feckin satellite?

    theres a few young ones on facebook where there page is clogged up with 'so and so has checked in at home/at *insert bar name here*/ at *friends house*. i dont get it. does this happen automatically? why oh why would you go to your phone to 'check in' somewhere?

    It gives stalkers\burglars an easier target.

    They want to appear like they're deadly when they're not.

    No one cares that you send it over your phone/ipad/microwave - just send the message.

    There's a much more annoying thing I see appended to emails but I can't quite remember what it is...

    But yeah, the "Sent from my <mobile device>" thing is actually quite useful, especially for work. It says "I'm acknowledging your email but I'm away from my desk at the moment so don't expect anything to be done about it right away".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭Carroller16


    What's more annoying is people who have the ''please consider the environment before printing this email" logo at the bottom. This has caused me to print out a second page with just that logo on it plenty of times.

    All it needs is thanks and your name, anything more is just wastage.

    Q. How do you know if someone has an iphone?

    A. They'll tell you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,655 ✭✭✭i57dwun4yb1pt8


    ITS A MY-PHONE NOW

    About 2 months before the iPad came out, I started adding "Sent from my iPad" to the end of emails/texts to people I knew were Apple fanboys. I almost managed to convince one of them that I was a beta tester for the iPad, but my hatred of Apple products is too well known unfortunately.

    I disabled this in the Mail settings. I want to send e-mail, not brag that I have an iPhone.
