iPhones sold out at a few Apple stores, many AT&T stores

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chris Ziegler @ 10:42 pm

If you want an iPhone, you haven't gotten one yet, and you operate in slow motion, now would probably be a good time to start worrying about availability. We've been hearing wide-scale reports since yesterday from AT&T stores across the country that locations have been unable to keep the device in stock, with some selling out in a matter of minutes after launch all video game console-style. For folks within driving distance of an Apple store, that hasn't been a problem so far because Apple's own retail locations seem to have been supplied with many, many units -- and that, friends, is what's starting to change. According to Apple's iPhone locator, there are still plenty of locations with stock -- but unlike last night, it's not difficult at this point to find stores that have sold out as well. Think there's any chance Apple's gonna let the pipe run dry?

Meizu responds to iPhone launch… with more M8 pictures

Filed under: Uncategorized — Thomas Ricker @ 8:26 pm

Nothing really new here, just the first pictures of the latest MiniOne M8 redesign from the sides, top, bottom, and back. Sorry, we'd love to tell you when this 11.8-mm of sexy will break loose Stateside and beyond but we can't. Still, if it makes you feel any better you can always prop these pictures up next to the dubious import pricing and dates we heard about this morning. You know, with claims of releasing a game changing 3G, HSDPA with WiFi worldphone packing 16GB of flash by early 2008... isn't it about time for Meizu to get this project out of their Chinese language bulletin boards and issue an honest to goodness foreign press release? In the mean time, we'll continue to cast doubt while you go toe-to-toe with product renderings in the gallery. Oh, and before you go... it looks like an iPhone. Ha, you didn't think you'd escape this post without some kind of Apple reference did ya?

First Engadget iPhone returned

Filed under: Uncategorized — Joshua Topolsky @ 6:59 pm

Filed under:


Hot on the heels of the Engadget iPhone headcount (12, if you didn't know), the very first Engadget iReturn has taken place. After ten and a half hours of waiting in line -- but less than 24 hours of actual ownership -- iPhone number one has been taken back to the store, citing "janky keyboard" and "no money for rent" as reasons behind the return. Note the look of utter shock, confusion, and hurt on the face of the Apple employee as she notified us of their 10% restocking fee (after the break).

How many iPhones did Engadget snag?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ryan Block @ 6:46 pm

Filed under:


Perhaps the more important question is how many iPhones could Engadget possibly need? Well, technically we only bought the publication itself two, but that didn't stop a throng of curious Engadget writers from dropping three months' pay to play with Apple's new hotness.

How many iPhones did Engadget snag?

a. 10
b. 12
c. 14
d. 16
e. 18

Note: the 8 pictured above only represent Engadget West's stock.

Hands-on with Crystal Film for the iPhone

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chris Ziegler @ 6:16 pm

Filed under:


One of the inevitable first questions that gets asked when laying out hundreds of dollars for a device with a giant, glossy, gorgeous touchscreen is, "just how the heck am I going to protect this thing?" It turns out that the iPhone may not need any particular babying, but for the paranoid among us, Power Support is offering its "Crystal Film" through Apple stores. Ironically, Apple itself says that protective films aren't recommended since they can interfere with the iPhone's ability to register gestures, but sho' nuff, walk into any brick-and-mortar Apple Store and you're going to see these packs on the shelf. No matter how scratch-resistant it may seem, we figure there'll be plenty of people willing to lay out the $14.95 sticker price for the marginal additional peace of mind Crystal Film offers, so we wanted to take a look at just how user-friendly the stuff is.

That definitive interface gallery we did? Awesome if you want to find your way around the iPhone -- but it doesn't really do much to show off the fit and polish of the UI. So we compiled a group of our favorite bits of UI elegance on the new device; be sure to download in HD for the full experience.

iPhone doesn’t work with most 3rd party headphones

Filed under: Uncategorized — Conrad Quilty-Harper @ 1:46 pm

Filed under:


As several tipsters have pointed out, the recessed iPhone headphone port means that a lot of third party headphones don't work properly: we've tested a few models already (you can see the current list after the break), but maybe you can help us out and let us know which models work / don't work in the comments -- and yes, if you have to press down on the jack to get both channels to play sound, we count that as not working. You'll need to buy a $19 "TTY Adapter" if you want most third party headphones to function correctly, which sounds like a great business plan to us: just break an important device function, and sell the solution for fun and profit.

iPhone: pottymouth friendly

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ryan Block @ 1:43 pm

Filed under:


Steve must have been a sailor in a former life, because it's been a while since we've seen a phone dictionary come preloaded with so many US swears. The iPhone even supports multiple forms of the mother of all curses -- truly, a versatile word for a versatile phone. Now go wash your mouth out with soap, mister.

Supports
  • F*ck
  • F*cks
  • Sh*t
  • Microsoft

Does not support
  • F*cker
  • F*cked
  • Motherf*r
  • Zune
We're sure you and your foul mouth will have plenty more words you'll want to try -- leave 'em in comments, but mind the minors, ok?

If you're the type to obsessively pore over every possible menu, submenu, setting, and function in a new device, this one goes out to you.
