Cellular One offers an unlimited data + text message plan for $25. A second line can be added (and "share" the access) for $12.50 more.
Unfortunately, the call center fellow (another "Erik") noted that since the iPhone isn't a CellOne phone, they can't "provision" it. Apparently CellOne does't use the EDGE access point stuff (username, password, [...]

I made a call after using this guide. Tomorrow at some point I'll inquire about data plans, but for now it works. I'll also look forward to the forthcoming graphical application.
P.S. If you've put SSH on your iPhone, for crying out loud at least run passwd and change your root password to something other than [...]

I paid $449 for my iPhone something like 17 days ago. D'oh! I'm just outside of the 14-day (or 10-day) window to get a refund.
I don't really care. It's a bit of a bummer that my timing was a tad off, but that's all.
The iPhone was worth $449 to me then, and the $399 pricing [...]

The final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship (a PGA Tour event) is being played today. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson play in the penultimate group and NBC is providing coverage at 2pm… except on WPXI out of Pittsburgh. Yesterday, a chiron ticker informed viewers that they should check channels 3, 11, 14, or 21 [...]

IIRC, two iPhone software unlocks were supposed to be available today (and I'm not counting that UniquePhones.com one). iPhoneSIMFree.com was one, but they've yet to release anything. The other was likely a hoax and/or virus.
I'm getting bored here, people! I can only look at Mac 128k manuals for so long.

I haven't heard anything more on the AT&T buyout of Cellular One. Back in June, it was said the buyout would be completed around December or January.
Our last contract (of the three phones we have with CellOne) ends in mid-November, so the timing works out nicely if so. Ideally, I could begin using my iPhone, [...]

For whatever reason, I cannot set up GMail or Yahoo! mail on the iPhone. GMail fails rather quickly and Yahoo! takes much longer but likewise also fails.
Do these services - like YouTube - require actual activation?

My 8GB iPhone arrived today. Here's a re-telling of how things went.
11:22: iPhone arrives.
12:18: Finally have time to unpack iPhone. Admire little pull tab that separates iPhone from accessories.
12:19: Begin using iActivator.
12:31: Activate iPhone. Turns out I had to turn it off between steps or I got a funny error.
12:32: Begin playing with all the [...]

So I'm getting an iPhone… but I don't plan to get AT&T at all. I don't even want to sign up and then have to cancel nor do I want to go on a pay-as-you-go plan.
I also want to avoid potential future "bricking" as much as possible and would like to leave open the option [...]

Steve Jobs mentioned Panasonics AVC-HD (the HDC-SD1) HD camcorder which records high-quality HD video to an 8GB SD card in his keynote.
The specs page says the camera has a high-speed shutter: 1/60th to 1/8,000th seconds.
But it doesn't list the framerate. Currently, to record my golf swing (for analysis), I record on my Canon SD550 (still [...]

Thanks to Gedeon for the tip, and I agree: Amanda Congdon is rather smug.

Squish it!
I remember when I actually had a bug in my LCD display. I couldn't squish it (I tried to in a corner - really not very wise) but it was behind the LCD layer (duh). So I unplugged the display, put it so the vents (this was the old plastic 23" Cinema) were facing [...]

Have you ever gotten a legitimate email from a .biz domain? Because I sure as heck haven't, and I'm seriously considering email blacklisting all .biz domains.

Woohoo!!!! Yippeee!!! It's true, it's true!
iPhones, here I come.
