A: According to the World First review of the iPhone by Gossip Girl, which reveals so many secrets that Gizmodo and CNET didn't dare mention, she says that you've gotta unlock the phone, by paying AT&T an 'opt-out' fee for cancelling the contract. You also have to pay for the phone. Then you have to see if your carrier, Etisalat in your case, supports 3G, otherwise a lot of the features won't work.
There are no more secrets...
Don't thank me, thank Gossip Girl.

A: you cant use the iphone with cingular, because it is locked! you need to get an unlocked iphone if you want to use it under carriers other than AT&T
Q: What iPhone 3G accessories come with a dock adapter?
I just got a new speaker setup that has a universal dock setup type deal. However it didn't come with adapters. Is there any accessory I can buy that comes with the universal dock adapter for the iPhone 3G?
I don't want to waste money on the 9 dollar dock adapter and not have anything to show for it except 2 extra adapters.
A: That does seem stupid doesn't it.
Q: How do I have my iPhone 3G replaced without going to an Apple Store?
My iPhone 3G has a defect (there's a strip of unresponsive touch screen) and I want to have it replaced. I bought it only last week. I tried going to the Apple Support site and filling out my serial number and all, but it only allows me to select my accessories in the "What to replace" drilldown lists! How do I have the phone replaced? Going to an Apple Store isn't an option.
A: go to the place were u bought it...(bring the proof of purchase and tell them theres a defect somewhere on the screen) :) good luck
Q: How much is the apple iphone 3g without the plan?
I am planning on buying the apple iphone 8gb, the 3G, but the thing is, i don't want the plan, and just the phone. How much will this cost me, and where can i buy it for a reasonable price besides ebay? also, how much is warranty?
A: without the plan i think that might run you $599-$699.

Q: Will the iPhone 3G be difficult to get during the first week?
I really want to get the iPhone 3G this weekend but wonder what my chances of getting one are. Do you think there will be crazy long lines & waits at the stores? Or do you think the demand isn't that great this time around? Should I wait a month or so or just go ahead and get it?
A: Yes, I'm one of those girls who wait in line the day a shiny new gadget goes on sale, and the iPhone 3G is one of the shiniest gadgets of all. But while I'll be out there waiting in the wee hours of July 11 (it's my job, after all), the rest of you should think twice before losing sleep on launch day. Here's why.
1. Shortages are unlikely
Remember last year, when we all got in line early for the iPhone because we were afraid it would sell out? Well, that didn't quite happen. Yes, individual AT&T stores sold out quickly, but many Apple stores had plenty of iPhones in stock in the days and weeks after the big day. (Indeed, there weren’t any serious iPhone 1.0 shortages until just recently.) Also, word of hundreds of massive overseas shipments bound for Apple (which began arriving as early as March) leads me to believe that there's a healthy supply of iPhone 3Gs on hand. So if you're worrying about a Wii-like shortage of the iPhone 3G, well ... I wouldn't.
2. Chaos on Day One
Unlike last year, customers won't be able to activate their new iPhones over iTunes—instead, clerks will have to activate them in the store, contracts will have to be signed on the spot, and new AT&T subscribers will have to undergo credit checks. It could take a good 10-15 minutes per customer—and that's if things go smoothly. It'll be a new process for everyone—especially for Apple Store employees, who aren't accustomed to processing cell phone contracts—so I'm anticipating (dreading, actually) a train wreck next Friday. Even if you're dying to lay hands on the iPhone 3G, you might want to wait a week or so until they get the kinks worked out.
3. 32GB iPhone 3G on the horizon
I was keenly disappointed when Steve Jobs didn't unveil a 32GB iPhone last month—indeed, all we got were 8GB and 16GB versions, and I'd personally like an iPhone that I could cram with as much music and video as I can stand. Here's the thing, though—a 32GB iPhone 3G is probably coming within the next six months, if not sooner (well, that's my guess). If I wasn't buying the 16GB iPhone 3G for Yahoo! Tech, I'd probably sit tight and wait for the 32GB version to arrive.
4. Best new iPhone features are coming to the original iPhone
Yes, the iPhone 3G will be getting GPS and, of course, 3G—but for now, you can't download music tracks over AT&T's 3G network or access AT&T's streaming video service. For me, the most exciting thing about the new iPhone is the upcoming App Store, which will be stocked with scores of 3D games, chat clients, productivity apps, RSS readers, you name it—and the App Store will be available July 11 as a free upgrade to the old iPhone. That'll keep you busy till the 32GB iPhone comes out.
5. The HTC Touch Diamond
I've seen the future of cell phones, folks, and it's called the HTC Touch Diamond. With its gorgeous VGA screen, beautiful touch-screen interface, and compact, light-weight shell, the Diamond is the first phone to make me green-eyed with envy since … well, since the original iPhone. The Diamond is set to arrive in the U.S. in September, and spy shots of a Sprint-branded Touch Diamond are already circulating on the Web. You might want to give the Diamond a serious look before committing to a new two-year iPhone contract.
Q: Is the iphone 3G stand by key and screen suppose to be slightly slanted?
I realise my iPhone 3G is slightly higher on the left and the right is flat. It is suppose to be slanted?
A: Hello
It is not suppose to be like this. You might want to return it for another at an Apple Store.
Working with the store return is easy. I call Apple support and tell them the problem then ask to have it returned at a local store. They then setup an appointment for you. This way you can essentially walk in at that time frame and have it looked at by a person, instead of over the phone, and they will replace it. They are really good about this stuff. I have returned two of my 2G.
Cheers

Q: How do I unlock my iPhone 3G so that it can work with another carrier?
I'm being screwed by AT&T and their rate plans for the iPhone 3G. Is there an effective way to unlock my phone so that it can work with another carrier like T-Mobile? I heard of this company called YESSIM that makes sim cards that can unlock the iPhone 3G. Any thoughts on this? Your input is highly appreciated.
A: of couse you can unlock the iPhone 3G
please visit the Dev-Team site : http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
they are the ones who unlocked and jailbroked the iPhone
1) Download pwnagetool or QuickPwn if your on Mac
2) Download WinPwn if your a Windows user.
Procedure is listed in the above site and also lot of other sites as well.
you can do it yourself if you have a pc and internet, no need to pay any third pary guy some 10 or 15 bucks.
try google with : Gizmodo , for more procedures / articles.
hope this helps.
Q: How much would an iPhone 3g monthly plan cost?
How much would an iPhone 3g monthly plan cost with 450 minutes, unlimited text messaging, and unlimited internet, access all the 3G stuff? It would help if you add taxes.
A: I'll break down the charges for you, but I do not know the tax rate where you are, so I'll give you an example from where I live:
The 450 minutes+5000N&W plan is $39.99
The Data plan is $30.00
The unlimited text plan (for an individual line) is $20.00
So, you're looking at $89.99 before taxes.
The tax rate where I live is 7%
That would make my monthly charge around $96.29. There are other fees though, not just taxes, so in reality my bill would probably be closer to $99.00. Maybe a little more.
If you can find out what the sales tax rate is where you live you can figure yours out the same way.
Good luck!
Q: Whats the difference between the regular Apple iPhone and the new iPhone 3g?
whats the difference between the regular iPhone and the iPhone 3g? and how much do they cost?
and are they going to come out with newer better iphones? and when?
A: The key differences between the original iPhone and the newer 3G model are:
1. The inclusion of a 3G radio which allows data to be transferred at about 200-300% faster rates (roughly, assuming good signal quality), compared the to the EDGE radio in the original iPhone.
2. They changed the case. The design is more of a wedge shape versus the rounded shape of the original iPhone. According to most people, this makes the new 3G iPhone more comfortable to hold in the hand. The original had a brushed aluminium backplate, and the new one has more of a hard plastic back. Also they added a new color choice to the phone: white.
3. They added a GPS - so Google maps now has a real-time updating GPS versus the previous system which relied on something like trangulation of cell phone towers to determine location but which only gave a relative idea.
4. They improved the battery life - the battery lasts about 2 hours longer for calls.
5. They unrecessed the headphone jack on the new iPhone - the original iPhone had a recessed jack that made it hard to plug in a lot of headphones.
6. They changed the screen color from a vaguely bluish tinge to more of a yellowish tinge. It's not easily noticed but some people prefer the original over the newer one.
7. They improved the microphone quality and the speaker quality to make it easier to listen to music without headphones and it makes calls clearer.
8. They changed the method of signing up for a contract - you used to be able to wander in and buy one... with cash originally without having to sign a contract. You just walked in and bought it and walked out and then figured out the contract when you plugged it into a computer at home.
9. They changed the price. It appears that they lowered the price by lowering it from $399 to $199 (for the 8GB model), but they raised the monthly fee by $10 - which adds $240 over the two year mandatory contract period... so it costs $40 more (over 2 years) than the original one.
They will likely continue to come out with a new model every summer. This would be similar to what Apple does with other products like iPods, so it's a fairly safe guess that next summer around June/July 2009, there will be a newer version of the iPhone.
Q: What is the difference between the iPhone and the iPhone 3g?
What's the difference? The iPhone is so pricy, and now the 3g is so much cheaper.
A: The price is a major difference, there is also the 3G wireless technology which should give you faster access to internet and email, support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, and also maps with GPS.
There are more features you may see a list at this page http://appleiphone-3g.blogspot.com/2008/06/new-iphone-3g-is-coming.html
Q: How come my iPhone 3g internet does not work at Seahawks Qwest Field?
The phone works and the texting works, but the internet (email, browsing, etc...) does not work! My buddy and I sit right next to each other, he has edge (the older iphone) and i have the 3g but neither can contact the cellular network when trying to use e-mail or the web browser. Anyone else having this problem? or does anyone got a clue to why this may be? thanks!
A: Iphone 3g's are having lots of problems with 3g connectivity. Your not the only one experiencing this u can try to update or downgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.x and see if that helps but it does void your warranty.
