The iPhone Is The Worst Phone In The World

CNET Crave's Flora Graham says:

That's right, we said it - and we're not taking it back. The iPhone may be the greatest handheld surfing device ever to rock the mobile Web, and a fabulous media player to boot. It may be the highest-rated mobile phone on CNET UK, rocking the pockets of half of our crack editorial team. It's certainly the touchscreen face that launched a thousand apps. But as an actual call-making phone, it's rubbish, and we aim to prove it.

Broadersheet: Your Customized iPhone Newspaper

AppStorm's David Appleyard reports:

A wide range of different iPhone apps are available for reading news – whether via RSS, or another method. Today I'm taking a look at Broadersheet, a $3.99 iPhone application that aims to be your portable electronic newspaper, aggregating the content that interests you most from a range of different sources.

A few features make it stand out from the crowd: it's intelligent, and learns which stories interest you most as you rate them, you can read stories offline, and also view a simplified version of a website – optimised for the iPhone's screen.

I'll be looking at these features in greater detail, and assessing whether it's a good solution for reading news on-the-go.

Canada Apple Store iPhones Will Be Sold Unlocked

iphoneincanada.ca's X1Zero says:

What a crazy week!

First Telus announces the iPhone, followed shortly by Bell. Then we reported about the new plans coming out and for all the latest price plan information, you can check out this consolidated post here.

With four carriers supporting the iPhone in Canada, there is now more choice than ever in terms of price plans from the various carriers. However, that is not all the choices that people have...

According to our anonymous tipster, and I would classify this in the highly-grey-area-category, the Telus/Bell iPhones and the next batch of Rogers/Fido iPhones may no longer have the SIM cards inside of the iPhone, as the Rogers/Fido iPhones currently have. In other words, an iPhone may no longer have a SIM card inside of it but instead, a SIM card will accompany the iPhone outside of the box in the hands of a sales rep.

iPhone Debuts in China With Sky-High Price

CIO.com's Tom Kaneshige says:

Many readers have complained to me about the high price of the iPhone--an iPhone 3GS starts at $200 for 16GB and $300 for 32GB 3GS. I admit, that's a lot of dough.

Just be thankful you're not in China.... An "official" 32GB iPhone 3GS in China costs more than $1,000.....
