South Korea to get iPhone soon

We've talked a lot that the iPhone would soon be launched in South Korea. The negotiation to bring the iPhone there started more than a year ago, but we are yet to see the device launched. All iPhone talks there must have become as frustrating as China iPhone deal. Korea Telecom Freetel (KTL), the second largest network carrier with more than 12 million subscribers reportedly is still in talks with Apple to finalize the deal.

iPhone 3GS 8GB black a formatting error?

You shouldn't blame me if Apple does not launch iPhone 3GS 8GB black.

The carrier now says that listing of the iPhone 3GS 8GB was a 'formatting issue.' Will you buy that defense and cease waiting for the iPhone 3GS 8GB? Nah! The 8GB model would be coming soon.

Coloring the iPhone 3GS to make it (un)Apple

Before the launch of the iPhone 3GS, there were many wild rumors about the soon to be launched iPhone. I want you to recall one particular rumor that was too wild for Apple to fulfill.
