Fancy an iPhone 4 but don’t want to deal with ridiculous policies and shoddy service offered by the nations most reliable network AT&T? You pretty much out of luck in the land of stars and stripes. But, if you can find a friend or family member who lives in the UK to do the dirty purchasing deed for you, it would be worth your while. Apple is selling iPhone 4 hardware unlocked straight from the factory for UK customers. The only requirement is that you have a...
The bad news is AT&T is sticking firm to their asinine excuse for a tethering plan, not to mention the whole bait & switch ordeal that they subjected iPad customers to. But alas, at least those of you who ordered an iPad but are looking at a depressing 7-10 day way can take some comfort in knowing that AT&T (and probably with some help, Apple) will still allow you to sign up for that soon-to-be-gone $30 unlimited data plan.

This miniature revolution comes by way of Facebook’s newly launched 0.facebook.com which is a slightly more stripped down version of m.facebook.com (and that was pretty stripped) whose main goal is to make your data footprint next to nothing. The clincher however is that...
We’ve heard it many times: AT&T sucks! Whether it be directed towards customer service or pricing in general, AT&T hasn’t caught much flack lately. The general consensus is that $30+/month for data is overpriced. And in reality, it is. But even AT&T’s pricing looks angelic when compared to overseas carriers. European data users are routinely subjected to data plans that are both higher priced and lacking in the data allotment area. With...
