3G iPhone could colorarsi red in the coming months. This is the news that comes from iPhone Savior that would be near the launch of new color iPhone. The new model would be linked to successful marketing Product (RED), which gives a percentage of profits to combat HIV in Africa. I remember that Apple has already participated in the Product (RED) offering a ’special edition of’ iPod Nano and ‘iPod Shuffle and issuing a special iTunes Gift Card.

Here’s the TV commercial produced by Tim for the promotion of iPhone 3G that, for some days, was “sighted” on our networks. Features spot-style Apple: voice narrating, white background and soft music, all are displayed while the main functions dell’iPhone.

Since the spot Spanish iPhone 3G Movistar follows fully to Tim (and Vodafone), it can be assumed that it was a single structure choice spot for all countries in which it was launched 3G iPhone. Even Vodafone has launched its spot which is identical to that of Tim, except for the logo final. After skipping the video spot Vodafone.

They are called Breno Macmasi and Paulo Stool, owners Desbloqueiobr, and apparently are the first in the world to have unblocked l iPhone 3G.

A few days from the marketing, the new jewel of Apple now seems less invincible: the method similar to that of a turbo-sim, is to insert a small adapter between the original SIM and 3G iPhone which goes to emulate the network enabled (creating a copy of the code IMSI) when, in fact, the SIM is relative to another phone carrier.

No information on costs and availability of this adapter.

Temerari as always, children of PCWorld, putting on the press’ 3G iPhone for saggiarne resistance and durability in everyday life.

In the video suggested, the Senior Editor - and cynical - Tim Moynihan has subjected the phone to a real torture, using keys, milk and cereals, water, dishwashing soap and sidewalks. How to say, if it has resisted all this, manage to survive in any bag or backpack.

The verdict? As we sensed by proof blender, the iPhone 3G is very strong and has continued to function despite most of the tests imposed. No problem if you want to wash or inzupparlo in milk in the morning but, really, avoid spend over with the bike.

Some users reported that their shiny iPhone 3G tends to be a little ’slow in transition from 2G to 3G and vice versa, with the result that the phone remains connected to a UMTS even when there is sufficient signal to send and receive calls. For groped to solve these problems, there are some stratagems.

One way to dramatically improve reception - and lengthen battery life - is to completely disable the 3G, but this might not be the optimal solution for everyone. Here are the most popular techniques for groped to improve the situation:

1. Reset dell’iPhone: in some cases a reset of the device has restored the proper functioning of the network. Just hold the key Home and Sleep at the same time, until the apple logo White, a sign that the phone was restarted.

2. Reset Settings Network: Options, General, Restore, and finally tap on Restore network settings. This procure a restart of the device and a cancellation of all the network settings stored as DNS, password WiFi, etc.. In most cases is the definitive solution to the problems of receipt.

3. Return of SIM: it can happen that a SIM improperly housed would affect signal reception. Toglierla and replace can help in some cases.

From midnight tonight, the lives of Mac-addicted Italians has changed since iPhone 3G has finally landed in our country. Many are emails that we received (and still are coming) as evidence of what was a night in search of the jewel of Apple. Who from Roma, who from Milan, who from Naples. Many spent the night in a row in front of the store across Italy, but not everyone has had time and the desire to make a row, and even less are those who want to turn empty.

The question is therefore only one where you can be sure to find 3G iPhone? Although Tim and Vodafone have made available the lists of mutual shops to find iPhone, it is necessary to minimise the chance to get to the point of sale and told when we have exhausted the iPhone 3G.

With your contribution, build a list of outlets where actually there is availability.

In addition to introductory guide sull’iPhone 3G (also available in English), Apple has made available a guide optimized for iPhone from always carry, saving between bookmark favorites. The guide offers useful support, as well as the approach of smartphones, also for Mail, Safari, iPod, Applications, Setting, Music Store and generic recommendations for problems that might occur during the use of the device.

The only question that remains regards the section on Starbucks on pages that will appear in countries (like ours) where the service is not available. Maybe, you simply removed the option of choice outside of the United States.

Coming good news for users Italians in the light of disappointing rates Vodafone and the silence of TIM for the iPhone 3G. Vincenzo Novari, CEO of Three Italy, in fact, said that in September they will sell the phone Apple. Many customers want this operator in the pink of vendors iPhone as it is present in the field of 3G for many years and could make a decisive change to see tariffs for navigation on the network.

Novari said that the rates Three will be 30% cheaper competitors by making more minutes of telephone calls and more navigation data. For prepaid addition, the operator should start its offer from 90 € to get the iPhone on loan to use spending a fixed monthly. We just have to wait.

The affirmation of Steve Jobs on stage, WWDC seemed clear - iPhone will cost $ 199 - but is proving only a half truth. The scenario that is emerging is much more complicated, so much so that some representatives of AT & T are organising meetings with the press to clarify the situation.

The first point is the price: $ 199 for i phone 3G 8Gb be considered a discounted price. E ‘AT & T, in fact, to bear the difference between the actual list price of i phone and the price to the public: according to indiscretions, for each i phone carrier American would pay to Apple over $ 300 extra, ranging to replace the share of contracts that was part of the previous agreement.

Consequently, we are the second point, the price “real” iPhone 3G (8Gb and 16Gb) ranges between $ 500 and $ 700 are plausible figures, very close prices reported for Italy for the version without the contract.
