The best part has been the price. Let hope the iPhone dev team gets to work soon and comes up with a way to unlock this.
The quote is straight from Walt's review. I was also very surprised by that part. one of the Apple's demos showed a slot near top of phone for SIM loading.
Seems like SIM cannot be changed. Now what is the use of terminating cingular contract? Just end up carrying a 600$ music player that cannot make phone calls?
From the article -
"But the iPhone has a major drawback: the cellphone network it uses. It only works with AT&T (formerly Cingular), won't come in models that use Verizon or Sprint and can't use the digital cards (called SIM cards) that would allow it to run on T-Mobile's network. So, the phone can be a poor choice unless you are in areas where AT&T's coverage is good. It does work overseas, but only via an AT&T roaming plan."

No, there will be a flash of death
A Vista compatible version of zune software was released http://zuneinsider.com/archive/2006/12/19/zune-com patible-with-vista-today.aspx in mid december.
But he made it to /.
I sometimes wonder why people takeup such challenges. Is it just to make it to hall of fame or some other genuine reason.
