The iPhone phenomenon is well and truly in force since the launch of the iPhone 3G in Australia last month. With this in mind, competitors are clamouring for a piece of the pie and are set to begin launching potential 'iPhone killers' in a bid to derail the Apple machine. We’ve been fortunate to have two of the newest iPhone competitors in the office, along with the iPhone 3G. RIM’s BlackBerry Bold and the much anticipated HTC Touch Diamond are two smartphones that are set to compete with the iPhone 3G in Australia and around the globe. Check out our slideshow of these hot smartphones side by side! iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Bold vs Touch Diamond iPhone 3G vs B

Apple this week began posting information for iPhone users intending to update their device to the new iPhone 3G. A new support document explains how to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G using the same carrier: "If you follow these steps to backup your original iPhone first, and then restore the backup to your iPhone 3G, your saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be present on your iPhone 3G," the company noted. The instructions indicate that iPhone users in the US will not need to transfer their SIM card (a new one will be provided with the iPhone 3G) and describes how to transfer settings, personal info, SMS messages, and other data to the new device using iTunes' backup iPhone feature.

iPhone 3G launch by Rogers in Canada. Photo CC by Anirudh Koul. Even though Rogers' rate plans for iPhone generally angered Canadians, it appears its meager efforts to placate users with a $30 promotional 6GB data plan was enough for "tens of thousands" of Canadian iPhone buyers. According to a Reuters report, Rogers says that it sold out of iPhone stock in most cities, and that the iPhone 3G launch was the "best weekend of handset sales in Rogers' history."

Canadian iPhone fans have launched an online petition protesting against pricing plans that Rogers Wireless Inc. will offer customers when the coveted touch-screen device arrives in Canada on July 11. So far, the website claims that more than 20,000 people have added their names or handles to the online petition at ruinediphone.com since it was launched Friday. The creators say they plan to send a hard copy of all the comments posted on the site to parent Rogers Communications Inc.'s headquarters in Toronto to demonstrate users' "indignation." Although there have been a few complaints regarding Rogers' pricing plans, most of the calls the company has received about the iPhone have come from customers wanting to know when it will be available and where they can buy it, Rogers spokeswoman Liz Hamilton said.

Apple on Monday released iPhone 2.0.2, an update to its second-generation software for the original iPhone and iPhone 3G. The update is about 242MB and first appeared via iTunes just after 5PM EST. As is usually the case with iPhone updates, Apple provided few details, saying simply that the update contains "bug fixes," and links to existing online iPhone support resources. Over the weekend the company seeded iPhone v2.1b4, a private beta, to developers, but removed the much anticipated 'push" feature that would allow applications to respond to internet triggers (new email, an IM, etc.) without being open. The major software update along with the unique "push service" was announced in June 2008 at Apple's WWDC and was expected to launch in September, according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

He expressed regret that his company still has not released any games for the iPhone. According to him, iPhone with it’s great graphics and a large screen can support advanced games which other portable devices can’t. He said id Software is already developing two games for iPhone, a normal mobile game and the other, an advanced game that would test iPhone’s graphic abilities. Though graphics may let down iPhone, he feels it is more powerful that Nintendo and PSP combined. Though iPhone may not be the definitive answer to mobile gaming, it sure is a great device, at least for now.

(Review) - We’ll get right to the chase. Apple’s iPhone 3G is very similar to the original iPhone. In fact, first-generation iPhones can be updated to use the iPhone 2.0 software, which will give a lot of the software capabilities of iPhone 3G to its predecessor. However, that doesn’t mean that iPhone 3G isn’t worth the upgrade. If you were holding out on the original iPhone in hopes of iPhone 3G, this is your chance to grab one, assuming can get past the strict requirements of activating the phone in AT&T or Apple Stores. That’s of course to prevent a lot of folks from unlocking their iPhones.

Rogers Wireless is justified in its limited data plans as many other iPhone-carrying nations are doing the same or are more restrictive, a company spokeswoman tells Electronista. The Canadian company argues that a "majority" of international iPhone carriers have capped data and believes its plan to be better than these, citing as example Orange France plans that include a 500MB 'reasonable use' limit versus the 2GB maximum on Rogers' best iPhone plan. The company also tries to justify the caps by claiming that unlimited use would require customers pay for more than they need.

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.

Sales of other phones on Rogers Wireless' network virtually ground to a halt the day of the iPhone 3G announcement in late April, company president Nadir Mohammed said today during a call discussing the company's latest quarterly results. Although the cellular business helped drive Rogers' year-over-year quarterly revenue increase of 11 percent to $2.8 billion without the iPhone on sale, the company executive notes that demand for other devices "slammed on the brakes" the same day as Rogers announced it would launch the Apple device during the summer.
