Continue ReadingThe design gurus over at Cupertino might just get a huge task on their heads, if the EU goes ahead with a ruling. The European Union is currently considering a requirement according to which, all cell phones sold should have batteries that can be easily replaced. No points for guessing which phone lacks this ability.

Cellular News is reporting that the iPhone is shortly due to launch ‘officially’ with China Mobile:
China Mobile is expected to officially launch the Apple iPhone on its network shortly - but with some of the functionality removed to comply with Chinese regulations. The South China Morning Post, citing a report from the Daiwa Institute of [...]
So comments reader, Jon Bradford:
What I find most odd about the reported details of the G1 to date is its price of $199.
At this price point Android goes directly up against the iPhone which has been around for around 15 months and has sold millions of units. In addition, it is agreed that the [...]
Hey you! Yes, yes you. That iPhone that you’re carrying and flaunting around, is that legit? You’d rather tell us, because the following might just interest you.

I love my iPhone. Yes, it does lack many of the features found in phones much cheaper phones in the market. But the UI and the design makes up for what is lacking in the phone. Whether you agree with me or not is a different discussion altogether.
The iPhone lacks a physical keypad and there [...]
I’m sure you’ll agree with me over the fact that Google Earth is a remarkable software. The ability to virtually find and browse to any point on the earth has been implemented exceptionally well. However, being an iPhone user, I particularly miss Google Earth on the phone, more so for the sheer simplicity that the [...]

Why is this relevant to you, dear reader?
Well, because I received notification of this by text.
By *text message*. From my [...]
I had a note in from Jody Sanders of iPhoneUnlockUK. They’ve been pretty successful unlocking previous versions of the iPhone and they’re rather excited to be able to offer a full unlock for the 3G version. it does involve a ‘piggyback sim’ and a bit of desktop software.
You can find out more at [...]
Today, if you have connected your iPhone to the computer, you might have noticed that Apple has made the iPhone firmware version 2.1 available via iTunes. And if you haven’t already done that, well, now would be a good time. As promised by Steve Jobs at the company’s ‘Let’s Rock’ event recently, the 2.1 version [...]
Continue ReadingYes, we’re reporting news about the iPhone 3G again. If you’re not the iPhone type, we’d still suggest that you be all ears for this. Apparently, even after having its fair share of problems and different lawsuits being filed against it, the Apple iPhone 3G is doing fairly well in the UK, reports MobileToday.
The device, [...]
Originally announced a couple of day before the Apple iPhone 3G debuted in India, Nokia have today announced the availability and pricing of the Nokia N96 for the Indian markets.
Ever since the official carriers for iPhone 3G announced the pricing, there has been widespread disappointment among the people, thanks to the high prices set for [...]
“On the bus on the way to the Financial District [in San Francisco] every one is using an iPhone. It’s unreal.”
That’s a quote I got from a chap I met today about San Francisco. They love their iPhones here, they really do.
But iPhone lovin’ isn’t just restricted to the City By The Bay. It’s [...]
And here we go again, back in the States. Back in the land that loves Motor-sodding-rola.
Everywhere I walk, there are all kinds of Motorolas, Samsungs, Sanyos and … well, let’s group them under the term ’shitphones’.
Each time I see someone sporting one of these devices, I little mobile fairy snuffs it, I’m sure of [...]
We asked Ricky to look into the new prepay iPhone:
It is going to cost you £350 for the 8GB version, and £400 for 16GB. This will include unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months. It launches Sept 16th.
Who is the prepay version of the iPhone aimed at? I would at a guess estimate [...]
Nearly two weeks ago, Ewan announced he was sending me an iPhone, and simultaneously I announced I really do not like the device. My ramble about the iPhone only summed up a few of my displeasures about the device, but I was more than willing to accept I maybe wrong.
Firstly, I should point out, the [...]
It’s all a bit gloomy for Apple really. Julia reported last week about Apple being sued, and today the Advertising Standards Authority have rapped them for some dodgy advertising.
Apparently the claim that the iPhone can access “all the parts of the internet” is giving a misleading impression to consumers, according to ASA. This has led [...]
Reader Adam Dempsey is having a bit of an arse with his move from his Nokia N95 to the iPhone 3G. Nothing traumatic. He’s just come across a lot of things that are (mildly?) annoying him. I found myself nodding along in agreement as I read. I asked Adam for permission [...]

I was just browsing around the internet looking for something to do with the iPhone. I’ll admit, for the most part I wasn’t impressed until I came across Mobiscope.
I’m not a security conscious person, and nor am I one to want to set up a webcam with it’s own I.P address so I can follow [...]
According to a a Reuters report, Orange isn’t having any trouble drumming up interest in the iPhone launch in Poland today - in fact, it’s already got queues forming outside its shops. Nothing new there you might think.
Think again. The queuers are being paid to stand in line. From the article:
