Iphone help.....

LeoChic · June 2009

I'm brand new to the Iphone as of this week. DH got the brand new one and I got his old one.

How in the world do you post on the nest? I was browsing the site this morning on my phone and wanted to reply to a post but when I got to the box that you type in, the little keyboard never came up so I was never able to type anything.

Can anyone help! Thanks!!

I've never been able to.

Do you like it? Our contract is up in a few days, and that is what we're looking at- I would love to nest from my phone, but would a blackberry be better for that? I don't know if I like the touch keyboard..

I know someone on here knows how to b/c they tried explaining it once, but I never could figure it out.

Supposedly you can click the little HTML button up above the text reply box, and it will open a new window where you can then type a reply. What I can't figure out is what to do once you've typed your message - how the heck do you post it?!

hopefully someone will know, b/c I'd love to do more than lurk while on my iPhone!

Did you make sure you are logged into the nest? I know that if I'm not logged into the nest on my home computer I can't post.

I like it a lot but I can't compare it to the blackberry because I've never had a blackberry. I was always under the impression, though that the only true web browser (i.e a web browser that functions exactly like your computer) you can get on a phone is on the iphone. I know you can browse on a blackberry but I always thought it was like a watered down version of the internet. Does that make any sense?

The little keyboard is harder to get used to than I thought it would be. But DH said that the phone is designed to get used to your typing and it will adjust itself so it will get easier over time both as I get used to it and it gets used to me. I told him he was full of crap and he showed me the manual where it talked about this because he's a right fighter (HA! HA!).

Yeah, I couldn't get to the reply box until I logged myself in. So, I'm sure I was logged in.

The HTML thing works, and it's the only way I've even been able to post from my phone. Click the HTML button in the toolbar at the top of the reply box, then when you're done click UPDATE (it'll either be to the left of the HTML box or under it). It'll then take you back to the original reply window and you will see your text there.

awesome, thanks! I'll have to try that. I saw the HTML thing and considered trying it out to type my message but got scared and didn't want to screw anything up!
