"Sent From My iPhone"

[sandra_nz]

@Enright3

Yep. I came in here to add this. A friend of mine has changed theirs to basically say “Written on my phone, please excuse the brevity.”

I like this and have just updated mine to match!

[kanicbird]

It has a practical purpose, not a huge one, but I’ll give it a pass.

I usually delete it if I’m in a situation where it could appear pretentious or whatever. But if not it’s a handy reminder that I’m typing on a touchscreen and some of the words might not be the wards I intestine to hype.

Good call, because it does make you look like a pretentious Apple snob. Very annoying.

I hope you used two sentences.

I hope you used two sentences.

Or a semicolon.

Anyway, “Sent from my iPhone” could hardly be construed as bragging, these days.

Yep. It was annoying maybe for a few months in 2007 when the iPhone was first released, but I grew quickly accustomed to it, and actually like knowing which emails were written on-the-go. I turned off the automatic sig on my first iPhone, but have left it on ever since. I’d be fine with a generic “sent from my mobile phone,” but I appreciate knowing if a message is sent from a mobile device.

Would any of you mind telling those of us who don’t know already just how you shut that off?

Yeah, because no other devices ever have done this.

Yeah, looking through my emails, the first instance of this I’ve seen is with Blackberries. I have messages from January 2006 tagged “Sent wirelessly via BlackBerry from T-Mobile.”

I really have to wonder about people who are annoyed with automatic device signatures in 20-fricking-12.

[troubledwater]

Yeah, that is so last year.

A few months ago I changed mine to, “Đã gửi từ máy may của tôi” (sent from my sewing machine)–but I forgot about it until the Assistant Superintendent finally wanted to me to confirm that I wasn’t in Vietnam for some reason.

I hear the original version of this sig line was “I either have never seen what one of my messages looks like when received, or could not figure out how to change it, or possibly am really into promoting brands that are not my own after having paid for the privilege”. And, that they decided to change it because it is too long this way.

Sorry, I forget the cite.

It shows up when you are composing the email, so the first point is no excuse

I use a “please excuse typos” version so that people, well, excuse my typos. *

My ipad puts:

– Sent from an utterly insignificant little blue green planet orbiting a small unregarded yellow sun in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.

[PunditLisa]

Sometimes I don’t have to see the signature to know it was sent from an iPhone. The AutoCorrect feature has a habit of turning messages into gibberish if the sender isn’t paying close attention.

[antonio107]

Blackberry did start the trend. I didn’t want to be a mobile advertisement for my cellphone provider, so I cut out their name.

When I got an iPad I was going back and forth between devices. I thought it seemed terribly pretentious to have both alternating as I moved around during the day. So I changed it to “sent from my Atari,” on all of them, a tradition I continue to this date!
