It's bugged. "The new iPhone3G"

Twice as slow. "Half the price."

A little false advertising, I think.

Recently, the newest edition of the highly anticipated iPhone series has been released - with many bugs attached!

This has irked, frustrated and aggravated many buyers.
An article from The Huffington Post (on-line) from New York states one man's frustration from these bugs, "It's such grief and aggravation". This was said by, "an insurance broker in Whitman, Mass., after spending two hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T Inc., trying to get his new iPhone to work."

Looks like this new iPhone is not worth all the hype!
Friday, July 11th, 2008. The iPhone was released to everyone in the world - problem was, on this day - the release of the phone - most customers could not get their phones to work. The issue was with the servers and the actual, "activation" of the phones - so that people could do normal things, like: browse the Internet, check 'YouTube' and other programs that involve AT&T usage.

Peter Svensson from The Huffington Post stated that, "A spokesman for AT&T, the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., said there was a global problem with Apple's iTunes servers that prevented the phones from being fully activated in-store, as had been planned."

Since the release date, many of the bugs have been worked out. The kinks have been undone and most of the holes have been filled. There still are other issues. For example, the SMS Typing on the new iPhone3G is 'laggy' (for texting)!

Word! This was an interesting and slightly disappointing fact that I came to find out about! Never the less, I will most likely buy the next iPhone to come out (assuming the next will not have any bugs or major issues (especially on the day it is released!))!!



Alas, if you are interested in the current version of the iPhone, you can buy two types. The first is the 8GB (giga-byte) black in color, for only $199. The second is the 16GB black or white in color, for $299.
If you would like to check out the store, feel free!
If you would like to check this device out through AT&T and also find out the nearest place near you where you can purchase one, feel free!
(here's the article that I got the info. & quotes from!)

Best Buy is always a great place for Apple merch as well (in your town or on-line)!

Awesome! :)

Till' next time, peace!!
