Snake just informed me that cancellation fees are prorated for SPRINT. So I would only have to pay less then 100 bucks to get out of my contract. iPhone here I come!

Is the new iPhone still going to have WiFi or are they going to get rid of that feature because it is 3G now...

It'll have WiFi, yeah. I don't care what they say: 3G isn't as fast as WiFi, and it's nowhere near as ubiquitous (particularly inside your own house or office

).

Meh. I'm gonna keep my 1st gen iPhone.

To be honest, I'm not too impressed with the 3g iPhone.

I'd get me one if they weren't so expensive. I'd want one, but I'm it's only a phone. Currently I have a seperate iPod Video 60GB and a seperate very simple 3-button (call, text and on/off, more I don't need!) Nokia 6310 telephone. In other words: I'll only get when I find a good deal or when one of those I already have break down.
Then I'd need the 3G since I live in Europe.

Yeah but the data service is $30 a month instead of $20 now. It's $35 if you want text messages. $30X24 months brings the price back up to the old one when it was introduced.

Dumbest phone to hit the market....unless you don't own a camera, mp3 player, or have the internet. All those Mac lovers who like "neato, cool" lookings gadgets are the only ones buying them.

Drink your Starbucks, drive your Prius, and talk on your iPhone.

Or you could just be a hater like Yogi. Your post doesn't even merit a response beyond this.

P.S. I don't drink coffee and I drive two SUVs. But you know what they say about those who make assumptions or gross generalizations.

I use Windows PCs, drive a Porsche, think Starbucks tastes burnt and love my iPhone. Nice generalizations.

Three days until the iPhone 3G is release. I'll be picking one up Friday. Anyone else? The only differences with the new phone are the faster network and GPS. Reviews have started to come out. You can check out Gizmodo's summary of three reviews below:

Only reason I'm getting one is if the wife wants the old one. I'd say that's about a 50/50 chance.

I have to wonder about those who are replacing their previous models... although the previous models can still be hacked or "jailbroken" and will work (kind of) on other carriers, while the 3G, not so much.

I'm much more interested in the App Store and the 2.0 OS. Erie doesn't have 3G and probably won't get it until the year 3K.

When is the app store and 2.0 OS coming? Same day as the 3G iPhones come out (11th I believe)?

The main reason I'm getting the new iPhone is that I dropped my current one and cracked the screen. Now the bottom section of the touchscreen doesn't work. Makes it tough to use, all though not complete impossible.

If my old iPhone wasn't broken, I'm not sure if I'd upgrade. Although I think they've held their re-sale value, since the new ones will require a contract. Make it harder to buy, crack and sell.

Regarding AppStore and 2.0, yeah I think it'll go live the same day.

Are people lining up in front of stores all around the country like the first one or should it be pretty easy to walk in to AT&T; in the morning, buy one and walk out without a huge line or hour wait?

No AT&T; service in Montana, so I cannot get one. Otherwise, I would.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
