Okay, so the iPhone isn't 100% back to itself, but it's progress since the last update announcing an
all-but-bricked phone. When I said it would be war between hackers and Apple, I meant it.
If you missed it or just don't feel like going back to the article linked above, Apple has released the dreaded
firmware updates we've been reluctantly anticipating; this means overriding all hacks/unlocks and bricking the iPhone.

Verizon announced this update to Motorola's Motorizr Z6, on the 28th. The biggest difference? Yep, you got it right, V Cast. Pay for V Cast, then pay for shows! As you can tell, I'm not the biggest fan of V Cast, but if you NEED your "24" on the go, your new Z6tv is the perfect place for it.
Verizon is hyping this phone as the "Ultimate Consumer Entertainment Source." I do love the slide aspect of the phone, but I definitely don't see iPhone Users switching over anytime soon, unless of course their

It is upon us now; the
Apple firmware updates that you have been so carefully
warned about. There was always that chance of, "Maybe it won't affect our tweaks!" Nay, dreamers, the work of hackers everywhere is being undone and war wages on.
The newest iPhone version, 1.1.1, did bring some new features. So long as you still are still running your original SIM, you'll get some things like a louder speakerphone, iTunes WiFi music store, and other various treats.

Disney has decided to close down their service, Disney Mobile. Specifically, this US-based mobile virtual network (MVNO) is no longer allowing new purchases, and the service will be completely cut off by December 31, 2007. Current customers have until then to find themselves a new carrier.
Some people really seemed to like this plan, particularly the parents. With it, the location of a the child carrying the phone could be pinpointed at any given time; delicious, it's both creepy and dominating.

"Huh?" Some may say. Well lets break this down before we get into anything. There are a few different standards for wireless data transfer, such as EDGE (mega slow), GPRS (still slow), 3G or HSDPA (resonably fast), and HSUPA (just plain fast). This are standards used in the US and other regions to rate the speed of data transferred wirelessly to you phone.
Now AT&T currently has 3G rolled out in some area, GPRS in others, and still some sad souls stuck with EDGE.

So originally most had assumed that the
3G carrying mega phone with built in GPS would come to AT&T here in the US because the predeccesor the 8525 was released with them and they are also the only US carrier with a 3G network rolled out at the moment.

Remember when I told you guys there'd be an up-and-coming
miniature projector for cell phones? Well thanks to our friends at
Gizmodo, we've got our hands on the...
hands-on. No pun intended. Really.
Just like any other projector, we were promised the technology to display presentations, movies, or anything else we could think of onto surfaces from our mobile phones.

Today Apple announced that the iPhone will be released in Europe on November 9th, so get your tents and sleeping bags ready over there and get ready to camp for some of that iPhone goodness.
The iPhone will be release with UK carrier O2 given exclusive rights to the phone just as AT&T has gotten. The phone released in Europe will be exactly the same as the one released in the US but locked to O2, so if you were once of the many hoping this would be the 3G iPhone, then sorry you'll probably have to wait until next year.

You may or may not have had to deal with this issue personally but when it comes to Early Termination Fees from cell phone providers I would like to think of myself as a seasoned warrior. Many cellular carriers allow you a certain time frame to "trial" their service, this period oddly usually only cinsists of about two weeks. During which you are supposed to decide if you want to stick with that carrier for 2 years.
