Hate paying for an iPhone? (Hey, we feel your pain!)
But really, really, really want one … bad?
Well, now you can. Get one, that is, and NOT pay for it - like get it totally free, gratis, pay nada, zero, zilch, for nothing!
Check it - run to iPhone Power now, before your friend gets one before you do 
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.
ifixit tried to open up their iPhone delicately so they could pore through its entrails; PC World on the other hand seem to have modelled their playtime on the Inquisition, putting a poor, innocent Apple cellphone through a series of stress-test trials. They even caught the abuse on video, including determined scratching at the display with metal and dropping it multiple times onto concrete.
