Apple iPhone 3G Review

(Review) - We’ll get right to the chase. Apple’s iPhone 3G is very similar to the original iPhone.

Almighty PwnageTool 2.0 arrives, down goes new 3G OS for iPhone

Promises and promises and few more promises, that’s what came from Apple’s stable about iPhone 3G software being unhackable, but iPhone Dev Team has done it again as they released PwnageTool 2.0 for iPhone 3G, 1st Gen iPhone and iPod Touch. Sadly, PwnageTool 2.0 is only able to break all shackles on 1st Generation iPhones and not on iPhone 3G. That means, you won’t be able to unlock your iPhone 3G as of now, though you can unlock your 1st Gen iPhone.

Returning The iPhone After Two Weeks Of Daily Use

imageThe iPhone 3G is not for me. I’ve returned mine exactly two weeks after I committed a Friday and Saturday morning to buy one. Good thing I was on assignment. No one likes wasting time in line, especially ones that move slow due to poor planning. I can’t deny how remarkable it is to browse the internet and use those cool applications, but as a phone and communications device the iPhone leaves me wanting more. My biggest gripe – battery life. I couldn’t get through half a normal day before I got the red battery alert. It’s easy to keep it plugged into your PC to charge at the desk during the day, but anytime I went “mobile” I did so with hesitation. The iPhone battery doesn’t last as long as the comparable 3G devices running on Symbian, Windows Mobile and other platforms.

Review: The iPhone 3G was Worth the Wait

Computerworld — As I write this, my new white 16GB iPhone 3G is in the process of syncing about 10GB of music from my iTunes library. This is my second sync. Although I was one of the lucky ones able to both buy and eventually activate an iPhone 3G on Friday, I at first opted to copy over the same paltry 2GB of music that was stored on my first-generation 4GB iPhone along with my e-mail accounts and a handful of applications from the App Store. Having waited close to four hours in line at a New York AT&T store, close to 20 minutes for the purchase process, and another four-plus hours attempting to activate my iPhone at home via iTunes, I simply couldn't wait for a full sync before putting my iPhone through its paces.

Infineon Chipset May Be Cause of IPhone 3G Issues

JagsLive sends along a CNet blog piece about a plausible theory to explain the iPhone 3G connection problems many users have experienced. Apple has not acknowledged any such problems. "Richard Windsor of Nomura published a research note... Tuesday singling out the iPhone 3G's chipset, made by Infineon, as the probable culprit for the reception problems we reported on Monday. The dropped calls, service interruptions, and abrupt network switches experienced by iPhone 3G users reminded Windsor of similar complaints five years ago, when 3G phones were first launched in Europe. 'We believe that these issues are typical of an immature chipset and radio protocol stack where we are almost certain that Infineon is the 3G supplier,' Windsor wrote. 'This is not surprising as the Infineon 3G chipset solution has never really been tested in the hands
