  • Farewell iPhone

    I sold my iPhone. Yes, it’s true. But that’s not the insane part, the insane part is that I’m not planning on getting an iPhone 3G.

    Not only is the monthly plan more expensive for the iPhone 3G, but I’d be paying for a service that I couldn’t use. There is no 3G coverage in Nebraska. At all.

    A friend of mine who has connections at AT&T said that 3G was supposed to roll out this fall in Nebraska. If it does maybe I’ll reconsider.

    Anyhow, I guess I’ll be switching back to an iPod touch for the time being.

  • 3G iPhone Scandal

    Supposed 3G iPhone Maybe scandal isn’t the right word, but it comes close.

    TUAW is reporting not only that the supposed leaked iPhone picture shown to the left is real, but that the iPhone 2.0 firmware will not be shipping at WWDC. Okay…does this mean the firmware upgrade won’t be available right away from existing iPhone users, but that it will still be shipping on the new 3G iPhone?

    If the leaked image turns out to be real, what are your thoughts?
