Call me nuts, or call me crazy or whatever, but the moment the doors at the Apple Store on 5th Ave, in Manhattan reopened for business, the energy and excitement surrounding the iPhone launch was unreal. I know many of you weren’t able to attend, lucky for you, I was there to capture this historical event.

Click over to experience the excitement for yourself!

tnkgrl, feisty femme-fatale of all that’s mobile, managed to restrain herself from immediately registering her new iPhone in order to do a little testing with some other SIM cards.  She found that while, pre-activation, both the supplied and an existing AT&T SIM she had were accepted (and a T-Mobile SIM unsurprisingly rejected), following activation only the supplied new-contract SIM was allowed.

 

Locking handsets to a network is nothing new, but locking them to a specific SIM card?  That smacks a little of over-protectiveness.  Incidentally, the iPhone SIM works fine in other cellphones tnkgrl tried it with.

Underneath our clothes we’re all naked, but underneath the iPhone’s classy casing are a number of intriguing circuitboards and components.  ifixit.com seem slightly more excited about opening up their iPhone than they are about, well, making calls on it, and so they’ve been quick to undo the sixteen screws holding it all together and have a good poke about inside.
