I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my supporters and everyone who made it possible for me to be here. Participating in this opportunity to win a battery extender for an iPhone 3G is a dream come true. I am very grateful for even being considered in this random drawing. Thank you and God bless the USA!
FUZEaction, baby! iPhone still rules the world, though!
I am the Devil. I wear Prada. I need to have a phone to complement.
I own the original iPhone. I did the 2.0.1 update and Aurora Feint STILL crashes (yes, I got the App update, also), my locking noises are silent (no click), and the speaker output volume is super quiet (not hearable without speaker directly in ear), even with full volume indicated on screen. These frequent crashes and bugs remind me of the freezing up of Mac OS 8 and 9 (CLASSIC). I finally power-cycled and the audio is back to norm, but I still expect Apps to crash (hopefully not as often).
To all who question:

When a mobile network operator "Locks" phones, it does so by embedding a range of "Approved" IMSI's into the phone software. IMSI for SIMs in USA are different than IMSI for SIMs in Europe. Completely different ranges of numbers. Also, to clarify: 3G networks in Europe are still not 100% coverage, and GPRS is still used as rural backhaul solution for data. Since Germany already has EDGE and 3G, it is ready for iPhone and any future 3G iPhones. This makes T-Mobile the best option in Germany. For the UK, most costs associated with adding EDGE to the network are minimal, as it is sometimes just a software upgrade in certain newer networks. For hi-speed data, there is WiFi, then 3G, then EDGE. This means: WiFi for Location Specific, 3G for City Wide, EDGE for Rural. Think of them as concentric circles with the first layer being GSM/EDGE (National footprint), then with a smaller 3G circle inside that (city and business/tech centers), and then freckles of Wi-Fi all over both the circles.
Wishlist of SOFTWARE upgrades: Video Capture capability, Voice Note Recorder (unlimited length based on available memory), Cut and Paste, better word processing app, BCC: in Mail and horizontal keyboard in all apps, FLASH support and other plug-ins for more audio, video, etc in Safari. HARDWARE: 3G HSDPA, STEREO speakers on front instead of on bottom, 16GB and 32 GB models, REMOVABLE BATTERY!!!!!!! REMOVABLE BATTERY!!!!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
