iPhone 3G S: Early iPhone 3G Adopters Have To Pay $200 Extra.

Dear AT&T,

Haven’t you taken enough of my money? I’ve bought the original iPhone, then the iPhone 3G. Now you want me to pay extra for iPhone 3G S? In addition to that you want a new two-year contracts with it. Not to mention the upgrade and activation fee. You definitely suck, AT&T.

Call AT&T and tell them that you want the $199/$299 price or you’d go to Sprint and get Palm Pre!!!!

iPhone OS 3.0 Beta: What happened to the icon?

I’m pretty sure it’s one of the bugs in the iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 5. For some reasons, the Calculator icon is permanently replaced with Yahoo! App icon.

I tried uninstalling Yahoo! App and restarting the iPhone but it remained. It’s not a showstopper, but it just a little bit bothering me. So I restored my iPhone Software.

Calculator with Yahoo! icon.
