Rogers will carry it, I heard Fido might too. I'm on Rogers, but I know I'd fuck that phone up if I got one. I just broke my LG shine. I think I'm gonna downgrade to a Nokia 5310.

If they can upgrade these things and get some goddam buttons I'll considering buying one.

Along with the iPhone 3G, Apple also released iPhone software 2.0. This software comes installed on the iPhone 3G and OG iPhone users can upgrade for free (which I did). iPod touch users can upgrade for $10.

2.0 makes improvements in certain areas, but the biggest is the ability to officially install 3rd party applications on the phone. You can do so by going the the App Store within iTunes. Many application are free... as a matter of fact, the following screenshots are all from free applications (other than the $4.99 Texas Hold'em which was well worth it.)

Apple made two applications: Remote & Texas Hold'em. Remote is free and Texas Hold'em is $4.99. Both apps are amazing and show off the iPhone's capabilities...

iPhone "desktop"

The App Store (where you can get all these applications... from the iPhone itself or from iTunes)

zenBe (to-do lists... )

Remote (allows you to control iTunes & Apple TV from your iPhone from anywhere in the house... this is a very cool application Apple made)

Google

Twitterrific (a Twitter client)

PayPal

Pandora (really cool online streaming radio type website that is really good at randomly playing stuff you really like to hear)

Texas Hold'em (made by Apple and the only application that cost me money... $4.99 well spent... this is a great implementation)

Tap Tap Revenge (free and pretty cool)

Box Office (find movie theaters near you... get movie reviews... buy tickets... etc.)

The Bible

Light Saber (makes use of the accelerometer in the iPhone to make cool light saber sounds... totally non-productive, but very cool anyway)

Some of the coolest apps are the Facebook app and the MySpace app... they work really well. I didn't post any screens because of the personal names and stuff on there... but they are really well made.

There's a ton more applications at the App Store... many are free... some you have to pay... most are under $10.

I bought my iPhone June 29, 2007... the first day they came out last year. With this software update and free applications it feels like I have a new phone.
