The iPhone 3G to Launch at 8am

With just over a week until the launch of Apple’s new iPhone on July 11th, it appears that Apple stores will actually start selling the devices at 8am, and not at the 6pm time they marked for the original iPhone.  This is probably because signing up for the monthly cellular plan will take a while, and needs to be done in store.  Anyway, I found a photo of the line forming outside the San Francisco Apple store;  if you want an iPhone on the first day, it looks like there will be some serious competition!  150 People already!

iPhone 3G vs. Blackberry Thunder

A lot people have been coming to our blog looking for info on the Blackberry Thunder.  With the new iPhone 3G being just around the corner, I have been wanting to do a iphone 3G vs. Blackberry Thunder comparison for a while.  Unfortunately, the data (especially for the Blackberry Thunder) is rather limited.  This is what we know so far.

  • The Blackberry Thunder is running on Verizon in the US.  The iPhone 3G is for AT&T of course.
  • Both have a full touch screen.
  • Both support mp3s.
  • Hmm… both of them are black?

See, that’s how little info we have on the Blackberry Thunder.  But we do have a possible picture of the Blackberry Thunder / Verizon Thunder / Vodafone Thunder / Blackberry 9500 / or Blackberry Storm (the old nickname before Blackberry said that it’s not true).  Again, all the pictures of the Thunder were made by BoyGeniusReport.  Click here to read all the background info here:

Now take a look at the iPhone 3G.  Click on the image to see the specs on Apple:

So what’s the conclusion?  I have no idea.  I think it’s too early to tell what the Thunder has so far.  Maybe we can get a better comparision once Blackberry releases more data on the phone.

iPhone 3G for 1 Euro?

T-Mobile in Germany announced that they will sell you the 8GB iPhone 3G for 1 euro if you have a contract that cost 69 euros or more. That comes out to be a little more than $100 a month for the monthly contract.

That’s some genius marketing. They give you the phone for free basically, but requires you to pay more for the contract so they can make the money back in the long run. That’s a great selling point though… “Get your new iPhone for 1 euro!”

New 3G iPhone is Black and White

Apparently there were a bunch of rumors on the iPhone having a white back cover a couple weeks ago.  In fact, I ran across this picture a while back:

And then a bunch of pictures came out the last couple days that show the black back cover:

So what is it?  After digging into the keynote that Steve Jobs gave the other day, it turns out that the white cover is only offered with the 16GB version.  The 8GB one is in black only.  I personally really like the white one.  Maybe that’s why they are only offering it in 16GB so you have to get the higher model?

iPod 3G = Reality!!

Sorry. I know I am a day late in covering the new iPhone. As you’ve probably heard by now, Steve Jobs and Apple officially announced that the iPhone is going 3G starting July 11th. This is what Engadget had to say:

Obviously 3G is at the forefront, but they’re also making sure it’s available all over internationally, works with enterprises, runs 3rd party apps… and does it all for cheaper. Apple claims its 3G speeds trounce the competition, with pageloads 36% faster than the N95 and Treo 750 — and of course it completely trounces the old EDGE data speeds.

The thing that interested me the most is the price. I was pretty shocked that Apple would lower the price at first. The 8GB version is now only $199 and 16GB is $299!

But of course, for such a hot product, you figure they gotta make you pay more somehow. AT&T already said that they are going to raise the data plan to $30 a month, which really isn’t that much.
