Not true. They are the only other "major" carrier, but there are a lot of smaller wireless carriers that it would work on (like Centennial)

I'm riding to raise awareness, to raise $$, but, at the end of the day, I'm riding so some day someone can say to my daughter...
"Ellie, when we were kids, what was it you had again?"
...and so I ride.

Gizmodo has a review of the new 3GS which is apparently significantly faster than the 3G. They have a video showing side by side comparisons between the two and it is quite noticeable.
Gizmodo - iPhone 3GS Review - Iphone 3gs review
Quote:
The video really shows how fast the iPhone 3GS is. Safari, Email, Camera all load noticeably faster than on the iPhone 3G (both running 3.0 software). Even booting the phone takes about half the time. Apps with long load times, like Sims 3, Oregon Trail or Metal Gear Touch all show how much faster you get up and running on the new device. Seriously, everything is faster. It's exactly the same experience as switching from a two- or three-year-old computer to something brand new. Your apps all look the same, but they load and run much more smoothly. Even if you're doing the same things on both machines, the new machine is that much better to work on.
What does this speed increase mean for future iPhone apps and games? With the iPhone 3GS running on a 600MHz CPU with 256MB RAM (up from 400MHz and 128MB), there's a much higher performance ceiling for apps to hit. The OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics standard that's now supported paves the way for an impressive visual boost. Hubert (a former Nvidia developer) from Ubergizmo says it's somewhere along the lines of going from Half Life 1 to Half Life 2, which is essentially going up a console generation. Gamers should pay attention.

Not an iPhone, but this type of app shows how the compass will definitely come in handy eventually...

TB, I have a 2G running 2.2.1 on T-mobile. Doesn't that mean it's "unlocked"?

I'm stuck in a traffic jam apparently - I can't get past the final iTunes Store authorization.

One recurring question: has AT&T done anything to fix the network? I don't see the point of getting an iPhone when AT&T's bull**** 3G network simply doesn't work.

That is sort of how I feel about getting a faster iPhone. What's the point when my blackberry can access gmail faster than my iPhone most of the time?

Depends on where you are I suppose. Works pretty well in mid-Michigan of all places. AT&T is definitely the weak link in the iPhone chain though.

I'd buy one today if it worked in downtown Chicago. All my friends do is complain about theirs.

OK. I am going to launch iTunes now.
Any opinions?

Downtown is where it works best! Even the EDGE network (non-3G) is pretty fast in the loop. The only problem is when you're in a building whose structure blocks the reception... that can't be controlled.

This is the worlds longest back up just to prepare. I do have laods of photos and music, but I thought they were already on the backup.

Oh no. This is acting like a full phone "restore." If that is the case I won't be able to unplug the phone and leave the office for an hour.

Ok, this is strange. The ICON for SMS messages [text] no longer has the letters "SMS" on it. Its just green with an empty thought bubble. Very prominant on the desktop and now looks....EMPTY.
Anyone else notice this???
Also, so now we have a standard recording app. I've had a recording app for a long time. I don't see how this is an improvement at all. Its much more basic. I wish I had an app that could record my phone calls, that would be an improvement.
If you slide your first desktop or home screen in the "other" direction. Where there used to be nothing there is now a search page to search the contents of your iPhone. Interesting. I guess I will need to tag my photos now.
Thoughts?
Notice any other surprises?
