My Next Mobile Phone

by Luca Filigheddu on May 30, 2008

What my next mobile phone will be?

I just posted that I switched to a Nokia E61 since my N95 has run out of battery… forever. In any case, it’s not going to be my definitive mobile phone since my target phone is one only: iPhone.

I bought one while in San Francisco but not being 3G, it’s not usable with my SIM by the operator “Three”. Well, there is a trick actually, that is going to a local Three dealer and asking them to make your SIM a 2G one. The result is that it is not possible to use your SIM for data, because “Three” doesn’t support Edge.

All that said, the iPhone is now in my wife’s hands but, in terms of user eperience, it is the best phone I’ve ever used and email and browsing become really usable there. So that will be mine, sooner or later…

Next step? I’m really looking forward the next WWDC in San Francisco next June 9th. I presume that the new iPhone 3G will be announced and, consequently, its availability in the italian market.

ops :) My english seems to be really poor :P

@skumpic where did you read that I didn't know this? I knew this, that's the reason why I bought an iPhone only instead of two, because my wife uses Wind that works perfectly and I had to wait for the 3G one since my business SIM is a three one and I cannot stay without it. Read better next time ;-)

Well, basically i think you're the only one that didn't know that "Three" sim cards are not gsm compatible :)
Think: Do you ever seen a gsm phone in a "Three" shop?? I'm quite sure that also their website explain that their are only a umts operator.
Hot water discovery :)
