This week I went to an Apple Store to upgrade form my iPhone 3G to a new 32 GB iPhone 3G S, thinking AT&T was giving the option to iPhone 3G users who got the iPhone between July – September a good upgrade price meaning 199 or 299. Turns out yes we are getting early upgrade price of 399 or 499 depending on the model we want to get, and if you didn’t get it those dates you have to pay full price 599 or 699.
AT&T come on, iPhone users have the most expensive minute plan because we don’t get a regular plan as other users, but instead we have to pay a more expensive plan with less minutes, with an expensive data plan, plus an additional sms plan. If thats not enough we have to wait TWO YEARS before we can upgrade to another phone. AT&T if you want to keep the exclusivity agreement with Apple on the US be more flexible, we pay more money than other users and receive less benefits. I know the iPhone is the best phone out on the market but come on if you weren’t the only carrier with it on the US believe me I wouldn’t be an AT&T user.
Well, I always look on the bright side you make me pay more money, but with the new iPhone Firmware 3.0 Im getting my moneys worth with tethering for free and believe me its very good, very fast and best of all free for know so take advantage while this lasts. (You don’t have to jailbreak you iPhone for this to work just install the carrier settings for AT&T and thats it. Remember Rake Point doesn’t support this methods but we were testing it. If do this its at your own risk.)
The pictures that show iPhone on tethering mode are actually from iphonebuzz but the method used by them was not the one tried on our iPhone 3G.

So this was found on the web. Looks that our big brother Woz is supporting the Jailbreak method and maybe also has unlocked his iPhone.
Lets see what Jobs thinks of this. Woz may look happy but I’m sure Steve will call him eventually and whip his ass!!!!

I have used in many occasions the iPhone calculator even the new one on the 2.0 Update, and it has never been the love of my life. Today I found on the App Store a new app called Kalculator which if found useful. I bought it and tried it and can say its money well spent. The “single column numeric spreadsheet” as the developers calls it, is a great Kalculator to have when you are on the go. It stores up your history, its easy to use, very effective, responsive, simple kalculator and last but not least great graphic interface. I see the default scientific calculator on the iPhone and I wonder why so much junk and functions if this should be a on the go calculator for fast equations and what we really need is to see our previews equations and not a single line cal. If you want a good scientific cal buy a freaking Texas instrument guys. I want to see an engineer trying to solve a complex equation on the original iPhone scientific cal. its f**** impossible since we have no way of seeing our previews sums and equations. It also brings great features like when you tap with a single finger you bring the result up, when you tap with two finger you bring up the equation, and if you slide your finger it gives you the option to delete a single equation. I think this is kind of neat. I recommend this Kalculator to anyone who likes a great simple on the go calculator.
More pics after the break…

I have discovered that Movistar Colombia (finally) has posted a teaser of the New iPhone 3G. When you enter the page the announcement appears. You can register and add your info so they can have you up to date on the iPhone launch. Comcel made that announcement a few days after the iPhone 3G was announce by Steve Jobs at the WWDC at San Francisco on June 9th.
RUMORS: We have been hearing that the launch date may be on August 20. Less than a month we think.
More good news to come, Apple has launch an App Store in Colombia already and its working perfectly with Colombian credit cards. I have used mine and bought several Apps and has been a great experience, but iTunes only lets you access the App Store and not the music or video store. I was worried regarding the App Store in Colombia since Apple has lots of problems with international credit cards. You can uses the Colombian App Store without worries its a safe place to buy on the internet.
Here are some are some screenshots we captured on Movistar.

I have been wondering what would be the difference between the Apps Stores around the world. I went to the US App Stores and to the Colombian App Store and they are relatively different.
