Well not really, I just wanted to say that! If you are thinking this post is about the iPhone I just bought after standing in a line for more than 12 hours, then it’s not. I just don’t have that urge or patience to be the first one to get my hands on something uber cool. Will I get one? Maybe, as long as I don’t have to switch to AT&T and a two year contract! In the short term, the only way that will be possible is if either someone finds a way to unlock the iPhone or Apple starts selling an unlocked iPhone.

If switching to AT&T is what’s preventing you form getting an iPhone, then you only need to worry if you are a T-Mobile customer. In the US, AT&T and T-Mobile are your primary GSM carriers, so if you are not with T-Mobile, then you might as well go ahead and get the iPhone. You really don’t have any other option. A CDMA iPhone will probably not happen for a while. I am sure the AT&T Apple contract probably has made sure this will not happen. So if you are a Verizon or Sprint customer, even an unlocked iPhone will not work for you.

In other iPhone news, Duncan Riley of TechCrunch thinks the iPhone does not use a SIM card, “However be aware that the iPhone does not support simcards“.

According to the spec, the iPhone is a quad-band GSM phone, so unless Apple came up with some new standard for GSM, I would expect the phone to use a SIM card.

Finally I leave you with, NADD and iPhone RDF

Sprint’s Talking Points Guide for Sales and Customer Care on how to tackle the iPhone craze that’s going to hit this Friday.

Here is a sample of what’s in the Guide:

• Using the iPhone on the GSM/EDGE network maybe like having a really powerful computer on dial up.
• Any music phone from Sprint lets you download songs instantly – out of thin air.
• With the MotoQ, you can use the money you save to pay for the monthly service
• The iPhone is an Apple product and has some nice features. It also has a nice price. Do you really need all those features in one device?

Steve Jobs has announced the Safari 3 browser for Windows at Apple WWDC. This should make the browser wars interesting and now you get to “experience the web Apple style!”, even in Windows.

Apple claims Safari to be the fastest browser currently available, 2x faster than IE7 and 1.6 times faster than Firefox. Even boasts of faster JavaScript. So I decided to give it a whirl: the download was smooth, installed fast, and loaded up a lot quicker than Firefox. The default Apple home page loaded without any glitches. Next, I went into preferences and set up counterjumper.com as the default page. Closed Safari, opened it back up, and pooof—Safari crashed!

I wonder how Microsoft will respond if I send this error! Looks like while making the JavaScript engine fast, Apple forgot to make it actually work!! Even IE loads Counterjumper fine…hehehe.

Anyway, now I can’t get back on Safari, it crashes every time I open it up, so be careful changing the default home page. Since I cannot get back on Safari, I have nothing further to say about this very fast browser. It’s still in beta, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now. I hope this gets Firefox moving on some of their memory and speed issues.
