New iphone??
Seems like 3G iphone is ready for delivery. I wonder if it has GPS as well. That could very well make it something to consider as an alternative to the Kaiser... I love my Kaiser, but my wife has an iphone and it does do certain things better. With Jailbreak, there are plenty of cool apps too. I even found a voice command app. Pretty much fill most of the gaps...
but it still doesnt have the hardware qwerty keyboard for me and i'm not a iphone fanboy...just me though
I'll jump ship to the iphone if they update their browser to support flash. i'm still disappointed that after all this time (deepfish, opera 9.5 beta) their isnt a comparable browser out there for windows mobile. Opera mini is really good, but not as good as it could get
Steve Jobs is going to have a press conference on monday 6/9 (which is today for some users). I hear that at&t were able to get him to commit to release the new iphone at $199.99 w/2 year contract.

If that's true...I will certainly buy one for that price...for $200 you can't beat that.

inside info suggest that the device will start below current two year contract price or significantly less I received information that the device would be between 199.99-299.99. We will see in about 12 hrs if Jobs mentions pricing.

Vodacom which has the largest user base in South Africa has been granted the distribution rights for the Iphone. Vodacom is 50% owned by Vodafone and 50% by Telkom, the local fixed line operator.
We will be getting the gereration 2 version, but apart from it's 3G capabilities we will have to wait for the announcement today. Shipping will apparently start immediately.
The only down side here is that we do not have a Itunes Store so we cannot use that side of it's functionality.

Howzit basilrsa,
Nice to know that there are other South Africans here!!!
I am not an iPhoney fan anyway, so I will wait for the TyTN III or the SE Xperia X1 maybe.
In the meantime my TyTN II ROCKS!!!
Again, good to meet you boet!!!

WWDC starts at 10 AM PDT, we will get the final specifications then but sites like engadget say:
- It will be 3G (a given, any phone is nowadays)
- But it will not have a front-facing camera for videoconferencing (it seems that it's not a known thing in USA, so if USA does not want it, Apple does not include it)
- It will have GPS receiver (nothing surprising, adding GPS to a phone is only $5)
- No hardware keyboard, typing with finger on a 2.8" screen does not convince me
- As always, closed system, very vendor-centric, very few applications you can run there.
I thought they moved to an open source setup.
I know this is a dumb question, but I rather ask then not know at all. Will the 3G IPhone be able to flash the Window 6.1 instead of there OS. I ask because I don't know if it was a Hoax or if it was for real.......I saw a Iphone that had the WM6 on it. This was a while ago that I saw it............
edit:
I looked more closely, it's not only a hoax it is a fake Iphone...........I'm sorry for this waste of space I just used up..
3g Iphone....
So 199 out July 11th... think it will be unlocked by then? If so might need to try it out, even though I hate apple with a passion.
Just announced... 3G iPhone... For those who care, Engadget link.
I'm thinking I'm going to try out that new iphone. If it sucks and I don't like it, I'm only out $200 and then I can most likely sell it on ebay for more than i paid...haha.
is it 200 with a new contract or without?
i'd suspcect with
as apple cant get their cut of each mb downloaded if iphone3gs are sold without a contract
Personally I still cringe inside regarding the Iphone. My next phone will be either a X1, HTC Touch Diamond Pro, or the Nokia N96 (can't go wrong with an internal 16GB + SD slot for additional memory + accelatometer(sp?). Variety and change is always good though.
I'm sad that it still uses the same lame camera
I kinda wanted an iPhone but only if it had GPS...the new one does....hmmmm....let's see!!!

Anyone else taking advantage of their sale this weekend? All Smartphones are FREE with a 2 yr. contract. The wife and I have been month to month since December, so I think were gonna take advantage and pick up some new phones.
Pretty sure i'm gonna get an HD7, after seeing a lot of vids, threads, playing with it in store it seems like a really solid device and after using Android for 2 yrs it seems like it's gonna be a nice change. Originally wanted a Dell Venue Pro, but the HD7 will be FREE , and the DVP is having a decent amount of issues at the moment.
The wife wants to stick with Android, she'll probably get a my touch 4g..
Anyway..just seeing if anyone else is taking advantage of this sale
I would if I weren't an Even More Plus customer. I did however buy one outright and couldn't be happier. I am eagerly awaiting the first update, but even without it everything is grand.
Yeah we were on even more plus, gonna go back on contract though. I think their unlimited plan with 3000min is $150 right now
I can't go back on contract. My bill after taxes is $131. That is 2 lines, unlimited talk and unlimited data (believe it or not we don't text). Even if I want to add unlimited family text, it takes me up to $150 after taxes. That's unbeatable for unlimited everything on 2 lines.
I just buy phones outright now. I more than make up the savings, especially when you bring in the Craigslist factor.

My Wife and I got the HD7 this weekend and love them. i came from The Vibrant and she came from a blackberry
I convinced my dad to get an hd7 off the tmobile website
free...no rebate and it should be here tuesday!
i love my hd7
yep, took advantage of it...I got the HD7 the wife got a mytouch 4g...I tried to convince her to go for windows phone 7, but she stuck with Android.
Great deal none the less...phones were free and we got the special they're running on 3000 minutes, unlimited everything: $150/month
It was kind of annoying how much the sales people were pushing Android, they really didn't have anything good to say about windows phone 7...multiple times they repeated "yeah all the workers here use Android, we all have mytouch 4g's"
That sucks to hear. You'd think they'd be partial to all platforms.
Yeap, just picked up the HD7 from the T-Mobile site. Can't beat free. Got a Moto Defy last month that I'm enjoying but I guess I'll give it to the wife. That's if I can convince her to take it. She had a T-Mobile Tap for a bit last year and it left a bad taste in her month concerning touch screens. lol She's using a Samsung Gravity II now but I think I can convince her the Defy is better device.
Article here: http://www.callofdutymappacks.com/news/the-price-is-right/ We have just gotten to the stage (or more xbox 360 uses have) where if they purchased all map packs, you'd have spent more money on the map packs than the game itself for Black Ops. Have a read! What do you think, is it too much?

I hadn't played Black Ops for a loooooooooooong time, and started playing again last weekend. I knew there had been map packs, but hadn't paid any attention to them, but when I had a look I was shocked at the price. I think they're WAY too pricey. I got the game for about £35, so it was relatively cheap for release day, but all the maps will total near on £33, so yeah. It's like buying another game!
I'm not buying them - simple as that. They'll drop the price and sell them as a bundle at some point, probably for about £20. I'll wait for that. Besides, I'm a noob all over again and I'm getting slaughtered! I need to learn to play it again before learning to play new maps
Definitely way over priced.

I haven't bought any of them and don't plan to. The new COD will be out soon enough. Also the new pack that just came out is only zombies.
I never bought them. Higher priories then map packs
Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters
If your an avid COD player you will end up drinking the Cool-Aid just to be able to stay in the game. If you don't purchase them - you will end up being in less and less lobbies.
Its extortion sure - but I like the new maps. I do wish they were $9.99 instead of the $15.99 - or get at least more content for the price.
And.. by the time they introduce lower pricing the community will have moved on to the next installation of COD: Steal Your Soul edition leaving the old ones in the dust.
I try not to think about the money... the movies nowadays are $9.99 a ticket, a Blue Ray is $24.99, and even a new hardcover book is more expensive.
For me its a decent price vs. value thing.
Im just waiting for my maps to download, i wasnt going to download them but all my mates have who play online. Yea they cost way to much, it should be a one of price for all downloadable content.
Once MW3 comes out they should drop to an almost reasonable price but who will be playing at that time?

My mother was after a tablet. She didn't want an iPad, so I told her to try out a 10in and a 7in Android in a store an decide what size she liked the best. She liked the 7, so I said I had a Nexus7 on pre-order, and she could try it out when it arrived.
I took mine over last Sunday (29th July), she instantly loved it, ordered the 16GB there an then from Google Play store, I warned her it might take a week or so, but I was shocked when it arrived early on Tuesday morning (31st July). It's also defect free, and she is overjoyed with it so far. She has already spend her £15 on content.
Well done Google. They seem to be ontop of things now for sure, at least in the UK. Mine arrived perfect condition, but was delayed by a few days (not the end of the earth, despite the impression you would have got reading here).
The new ones don't need a OTA either, it arrived with 4.1.1 ready installed.
I got next day delivery and a perfect unit also, first wave UK device.

I bought one for my mom, she immediately fell in love with it. My dad has an iPad and she doesn't like it b/c it's too heavy, and also because Apple sucks balls.
Nice Story.. my mother liked mine too, especially playing "wheres my water". I will buy her one for birthday hopefully I can purchase it here (germany) until then. Importing 5 pound of Walther Whites blue crystals is easier to get a Nexus 7 from UK to Germany
My mom probably plans on getting one, she just needs to get rid of her nook color. I can always tell when I show her my new toys if the next time i hear from her it will be "hey how do I do this on mine"
I got that when she was playing with the nexus. She also made sure before i left, so I'd want the 8gb, or the 16? lol
I'd get one for me and one for my mother, if only it was available in italy and you could buy something other than apps and books on the market...
Please google give us newpapers at least!
Well our kiddo pulled off the impossible and made honor roll and went from referrals every week to not having a referral to the office all year.
I gave him my xbox for making honor roll, but I've given all of my games away to single mothers over the last few years, and now our lil guy is in need of games.
I had Forza 4, and a few zombie slasher type games but those will give him nightmares. Do any of you have any older or budget games lying around that you could donate or sell real cheap? He doesn't have to have to latest and greatest for him, just some fun games for a kiddo about 8. Maybe some games your or your kid have outgrown.
He has the instruments from rock band and guitar hero but no game discs, and also has the Kinect. It's brand, new someone gave it to me as a gift, and I'm letting him use it as well as my xbox 360.
If you have some things laying around that would be affordable to someone on a tiny budget let me know. I have a fedex account and will cover shipping, or might have things to trade also.

Do you have a local game stop? You can find some cheap used old games there. Perhaps ebay or amazon?
