New technology
« on: 01/ 9/07 - 03:48PM »
Apple just introduced this today:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/

pretty cool stuff, looks like something will be changing soon with phones and what not... seems every year apple announces something cool, and then a couple months later.. everyone copies it...

iPhone uses GSM phone technology, so Alltel won't carry it.  Alltel recently went to EvDO in a lot of markets, so I don't think they will ever go GSM.  Sucks since so many smartphones only use GSM. (BlackJack, most Blackberrys...)

I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

alltel does carry the  black berry, you just have to puchace an extra data service to get all the functions of the phone. the only reason alltel didnt get the blackjack, is phone companys usally only realease to one cell provider at a time, cingular got the blackjack, verizon got the chocolat... but after about a year they start to relaese to all the carriers.
