Noah's got the iPhone 3G and the old iPhone - the old one's jailbroken, unlocked, and running on T-Mobile. Side by side you can see how the unlocked version works just like the new one (minus 3G). All hail the iPhone-dev team! Also, check out the T-Zones hack for T-Mobile users!
Another Internet speed test pitting four 3G phones against one another. The takeaway? 3G coverage is lousy in Oakland. Or ... Noah has no idea what he's doing.
Noah puts Instinct and iPhone 3G head-to-head in a Web and speed battle. First is a raw download speed test, and then a few Web page load tests. Who won? Watch the video and find out ...
Noah continues looking at the new iPhone 3G. In this video it's IMing using the AIM app, which is free and works on old iPhones and iPod Touches, too. Also, how to send and receive SMSs without paying AT&T for a messaging plan!
The big news with the new iPhone is price, 3G, and the App Store. Noah takes a look at Super Monkey Ball, Pandora, and Box Office in Part 2 of PhoneDog's look at the App Store.
Q. Noah, I was extremmely close to buying the iPhone until I saw the Samsung Omnia in your video. looks tight. how cool is it and is it up to par with the beast made by Apple?
A. I've only had a little bit of hands-on time with Omnia but it definitely looks great. Omnia's a Windows Mobile device, so it should be somewhat similar to the HTC Touch Diamond in that you've got Windows Mobile 6 running underneath with a nicer layer of user...
I want to launch into a rant here. It'd go something like this: I've
always used Apple products, have never bought a non-Apple computer, and
have followed them with both personal and professional interest since
first laid eyes on an Apple IIe back in elementary school, but I'm this
close to calling it a day and moving on to the world of PCs. Apple's
grown too fast for their own good, and quality control is suffering in
a big...

Apple iPhone 3G - AT&TThe first-gen iPhone set the mobile phone world on its ear with its state-of-the-art multitouch display, best-in-class Web browser, and unprecedented ease of use. Apple also left out many features phone enthusiasts are used to, including voice dialing, stereo Bluetooth and MMS picture messaging. Apple's new...
Q. In your instinct vs iphone comparison you said with the Instinct you can download 'over the air' and the iphone you cannot. what does that mean and what does it mean to me in a practical sense? Also, what other limitations would this feature, or lack of the feature, cause?
A. Over the Air downloading means that you can purchase and download songs and video directly to the phone using your cellular connection. Apple limits iPhones to...
Retail giant Best Buy has apparently been working overtime to get on
Apple's good side, and it seems all that hard work is about to pay
off. Best Buy will become the third retailer of Apple's iPhone 3G,
alongside AT&T and Apple itself, with iPhone 3Gs hitting BB shelves
as soon as September 7th, according to a press release issued today by the company.Shawn Score, head of Best Buy Mobile (BB's mobile phone store within a store) was...
Q. Noah, I am a first time visitor to your sight, and I love it. I've been anxiously awaiting the launch of the new iPhone. I ended up ordering one from an AT&T store the weekend of the launch while also researching the LG Dare. I am currently a Verizon customer and now need to decide before picking up the iPhone if I should go with the LG Dare. It seems like GPS and phone are better, and with my credits I can get a Dare for $149. The...

Pros: Thin, but SOLID feel, doesn't scratch, extreme battery life, plenty of features without becoming cumbersome. Super sharp display, easy backup of all data to your machine, so if you lose your phone, you are totally safe. Easy to deal with Voice Mail, Photos, YouTube, iTunes, etc.Cons: No video recording, hard to tell which direction is up in low light! AT$T's Edge service, (although most people use regular WiFi 90% of the day anyway) Apple needs to open it up to very qualified developers. G3 eats batteries so I'm glad it doesn't have it! WiFi is MUCH faster.Summary: All n' All, this is the best Cell / Pico Computer ever designed by Mankind. It's a marvel of engineering and will be remembered as the first true "smartphone" 100 years from now.
Extremely deep features, but still easy to use. Love the "Visual" Voice Mail / being able to attach photos to people that call. Google Maps has never been seen before unless you have used an iPhone! Using 2 fingers to zoom in/out is 20 years ahead of any other product. It has MultiTouch, not just a Touch screen! Only cell phone with a REAL Browser... very nice.
Downside, I don't like being tied to any one carrier, it needs to have a FREE Voice over IP feature, the days of Cell Phones are gone, so once Apple turns this feature on, anyone can talk for free. Much better than the Cell Monopolies in my opinion. iTunes is a blast to use on the iPhone, it has a strong speaker, solid vibrate, and best of all the battery can last for DAYS and DAYS without recharging.
(And a lot of people don't yet know) The iPhone battery is just $20 to replace. So keep that in mind if you still have it in 4-5 years when it needs a new one. Otherwise, learn that the lithium-ion battery in this device is HUGE, it's the longest life cellphone of any of them.
Overall, very good experience, the iPhone is the phone to have if you want QUALITY in your life.

Pros: Works as promised. Incredible ease of use. Fabulous integration with computer applications.Cons: Sometimes the Safari browser shuts down for no reason. Can't manipulate photos sent via email. Can't download music directly onto the Iphone through the web browser. Summary: I waited in line for 5 hours for the Iphone, having been looking forward to it for months. I must say that my expectations were exceeded, for the most part. The phone is light and easy to handle, and the ability to switch between applications while on a phone call is tremendously helpful. The touch-keypad is easy to get used to (2 days) and allows me to type much faster than on my old phone. The integrated Google maps feature is really nice to have. Syncing is easy and fast. Overall - a really great great product.

Pros: The touch screen has been amazing to use and is so fun to navigate thru the phone. Another cool aspect is turning the phone from portrait to landscape depending on what you are doing. The screen is so vibrant that using the visual voicemail feature is amazing! I have also never used a better Internet browser on any other device. Being able to view youtube videos has been a fun bonus. Cons: Features that they didn't add that I am missing include video capability and customizable ringtones. When using EDGE, (would be nice if I could use AT&T 3G instead) you cannot make or receive calls. With only an internal battery you have to take the phone in to get fixed if your battery starts to go bad. Summary: After taking my time to get to know the new Apple iPhone I decided that it was a keeper for me. I have used tons of different smartphones and besides a few cons, this device works.
I have had an iPhone for some time now, Its a great phone with alota great features. But its large area of a screen is bound to get scratched up! It did get scratches on it, i wanted to prevent that so i did a little research and found Phantomskinz.com They make protective non-scratchable patterns for phones and stuff. So i orderd one for my iphone and installed it myself. (wich was suprisingly easy) It fits perfect and there is no orange peal...

So here is my question; I just recently purchased an iPhone in hopes of unlocking it. I found a lot of information explaining how to unlock the iPhone, however that is not my question. My question(s) is/are this:
1. When using a T-Mobile SIM card that card needs to be paid for right (in other words it needs to be active)?Yes the sim card must be associated with a currently active account
2. Can...

I just don't get how Apple has the balls to charge for a SOFTWARE update. What other company does that???
I bought XP professional a couple of years ago and I still get updates for free!
I have to say I am really dissapointed in Apple's decision to charge for the update! It has to be the worst PR misstep in a long time. I missed the return date by two days!!!
Come on Jailbreak!
Nothing annoys me more than having to pay for software upgrades that should be FREE! After all the person buying an iTouch today doesn't have to shell out an extra $20 to get the latest version of the software!!! [:@]

[quote user="mikejohnson"] According to me Apple should just make computers and iPod, iPhone won't be successful. [/quote]
Are you serious?? iPhone won't be successful? It already is successful and will continue to be so for the foreseable future.How long do you think it will take Apple to out sell the N95 oh I'm sorry it already has- Doh!
Hi,
Nokia N95 is much better because it has everything such as a good camera, music player, video player, phone, messaging, video calling, and much more. Touch screen doesn't matter when you have lot of other things. According to me Apple should just make computers and iPod, iPhone won't be successful. Hope this will help you.
Enjoy!
