The iPhone 3G S is coming on June 19 with a lot of new features that will definitely improve its users' smartphone experience and their lives in general. After the release at the Apple WWDC 2009, AT&T announced the upgrade prices and everybody was shocked. The carrier will rip-off anybody who wants an upgrade, and many have predicted that this year's launch will not be as successful as previous ones, however, the iPhone 3G S pre-orders are sold-out.
Apple Inc said it sold 2 million iPads since launching the touch-screen tablet in the United States nearly two months ago and taking it to nine international markets this past weekend.
From a global carrier perspective, removing AT&T from the pack, it looks like T-Mobile is the leader for overseas unit sales, reporting 89,000 units sold in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Orange is next with combined unit sales of 77,000 from France, Belgium and Switzerland. Japan's Softbank is third with 70,000 units sold.
Ahead of Apple's introduction of the iPhone 4G, AT&T is sold out of the iPhone 3G and stock won't be coming back in. Farewell old buddy, you had a good life.
At first, the idea of a portable phone seemed crazy. Weighing two pounds and offering only 30 minutes of talk time, the first cell phones sold for $3995. Thirty years later, cell phones are some of the most popular electronic devices worldwide. Now much more advanced, smaller, lighter and with more battery life, the cell phones of today hardly resemble their original form.
Taking good care of your iPhone 3G is important, especially since it has that horrible plastic back that's vulnerable to cracks. As you know, cracks on the white iPhone 3G appear to be the most visible, but that doesn't mean they don't exist in black models. I'm still not sold on the iPhone 3G so I don't have one, but if I did I'd take extra good care of it because I wouldn't want to pay another $200 or $300 to replace it.
Late last month, T-Mobile USA began taking pre-orders for the G1, which will be the first device running Google's new Android operating system. This carrier has just announced it has sold all the devices allocated for pre-sale and delivery on October 22.
Eager buyers thronged retail outlets worldwide over the weekend looking to buy a 3G iPhone, despite activation glitches and Bloomberg.
Quoting Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, the wire service claims that Apple may have sold as many as 425,000 3G iPhones in its first three days with just under half of the total snapped up overseas.
I've owned my Droid X since it came out, and I simply love it. I can't imagine having a different phone. I feel it surpasses the iPhone in a few ways. For one, it has a bigger and sharper screen. If you're planning to play games, watch movies or shows, this is the phone for you. It might not seem like it's "that much" bigger, but it is and it makes a difference. The screen is sharp enough that I watch Netflix and HBO shows on my phone all the time (did I mention the WiFi is strong enough on the phone for this to be possible?). Also, a lot of people think they simply must have their music on their iPods.
Once I got this phone, I sold my old iTouch. Are iPods better at handling music then the Droid X? Yes. But is it a significant upgrade? No, not at all. The music quality is the exact same, so the only difference is the interface. It's very easy to get the music from your computer onto the phone as well, simply a drag and drop process. Having owned the phone for almost a year and half, I have to say that the battery has declined over time. When I got the phone, the battery life was about 8-10 hours using it somewhat throughout the day. Now that is about 5-7 hours of heavier use. Even so, I still love this phone and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!
