The iPhone sounds really great but it blows majorly how it's only for AT&T. I'm with T-Mobile...and because I won't switch companies, I won't buy the iPhone...unless it's unlockable. :wink wink:

I wonder if T-Mobile has anything in store to compete with AT&T/Apple's iPhone.

T-Mobile just came out with the Wing which is the follow up to the MDA.

Also, with regard to the Treos, they are beyond awful for watching movies. They have a 240x240 screen which is...odd to say the least.

This will take like 2 more years to start shipping in Australia.. God i hate this country sometimes.

Tell me about it.

But with my battery on my 2 year old mp3 iAudio player starting to go I'm more interested in the new iPod Hard disk based lineup which I doubt we will hear alot about until these are on the market in June. However I would love to see this phone in action and will have to wait. By the time they are available in AUS we'll probably be getting a 2nd or 3rd gen product.

Can someone please please tell me if I can use Iphone with T-mobile? What will happen if I go to Apple store and purchase an empty iphone without contract and pop-in my T-mobile SIM card? Will it work?
No, the iPhone will only work with the AT&T/Cingular network.
No, the iPhone will only work with the AT&T/Cingular network.

Hows that possible? why cant someone switch the SIM card since T-mobile uses the same one as ATT/CINGULAR? Furthermore, the bands that the Iphone feauters totally agree with T-mobile? So why wont it work with T-mobile? Did Steve Jobs say that it is locked for ONLY Cinuglar/ATT or you guys just guessing?

Thanks

You can't buy one from an apple store or from apple.com. It can only come from a att wireless store.

^no the iPhone will be available from the retail Apple store, but I am not sure about the online store.

Apple and Cingular/at&t have a mutual contract, and the phone is probably locked for at&t. I am not sure what could be done or the possibilities of it being unlocked is, you will find out eventually.

I think you are wrong. I think Steve Jobs said that the product will be on sale on all AT&T stores and Apple stores. I am very possitive that i heard/read that somewhere.

Thanks

I might be but my local store manager said the phone was a store only buy. Meaning you could only get thru att.

Why would ATT make a phone that won't support 3g? Beside, I will stick with the blackjack. Does everything that the iphone will and more. Plus it is the microsd slot for expansion.

Wifi, touchscreen, good ui, etc....I could go on. I had the blackjack and the thing I hated most about it was the terrible ui.

I won't be getting it simply because of the price. No way my company buys a phone for $600. Do we even know what the plans will be?

I think it is only available at AT&T stores, Apple won't carry it because they can't setup AT&T accounts.

AT&T Mobility, formerly Cingular Wireless, will be the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States and will remain so until 2009. The iPhone may be purchased only with a two-year service plan with AT&T.

That's what I hate about most of the Smartphones, which is why I've resisted getting one.

I would never buy that expensive of a phone. But my bet is that you can get any of the phone plans on it and then also must have the pda connect plan (39.99/month) or the mediamaxx (29.99/month)

Yeah I had thought that. But I can also see ATT adding a new 'iPhone' plan at a higher premium.

what's the big deal about 3g? what does 3g capability let you do?

Basically what 3g service in the US is: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11288_7-5664933-1.html?tag=arw

It's a little outdated but still good.

Mostly everyone is complaing that apple/att is building this next-gen phone that has all these features but lacks 3g. It's like building a formula 1 racing car but putting in a chevy aveo engine.

    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
