Canadians are upset about the high prices of the new iPhone 3G and what will they do to bring down the prices?

They are going to boycott iPhone 3G phones until the telecom companies bring down the price.

What do I think?

It’s a great idea as I have been guilty of boycotting iPhone for the last 2 years or so. (although I do own an iPod Touch, nothing wrong with that)

My boycott has to do with the fact that iPhone hooked up with AT&T’s slow network.  Even with the new 3G, I won’t buy one until “everyone” starts telling me it’s so fast instead of “it’s so slow”.

Here’s some news you can read up on Canadians:

Solution to high iPhone prices is not to buy one
One answer: Don’t buy the iphone

Yes, the new Garmin Nuviphone does look a lot like the iPhone but better in some ways especially the GPS part.

Will it live up to its name?

Probably, Garmin’s not known for making cellphones so we will have to see how durable and stable this phone really is over time.  Then again, Apple wasn’t known for making any cellphone either.

Some of the Nuvifone’s features include Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity, as well as tri-band 3.5G HSDPA data access. That said, if we do see this phone in the states, it will likely show up either on AT&T or as an unlocked phone that people can purchase and stic a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card into. It also has Wi-Fi connectivity, and while the stats don’t go into specifics, I imagine it’s 802.11b/g. Pricing is not yet available, but the phone will be available in the fourth quarter of this year.

In the recent news that the 3G iPhone was launched with a price of $199 by Steve Jobs, it’s only a hoax or bullshit because now consumers will make up for it with higher data plans.

Of course, you don’t need the data plan if you don’t plan on using broadband access but then what’s the point of getting an iPhone?

My guess is that AT&T just released their 3G technology that probably still sucks as everyone who buys the new 3G iPhone will become the guinea pigs.

If you want to be a pig, go ahead, but for me, no thanks.  I will stick with proven brick-and-mortar Blackberry with Sprint’s EVDO for now.

As with the original iPhone, you’ll have to sign up for a 2-year contract in order to grab an iPhone. The iPhone 3G will have slightly higher data plan prices than the original model: individual users will now pay US$30/month for unlimited data, and business users will have to fork over $45/month.

Here’s a really simply way to re-use your rain gutter water for feeding your plants.

Why didn’t I think of this before?

Rain tanks collect and store rain water, and they’re a viable green alternative for lawn maintenance since landscaping represents a huge drain on water resources. Erin’s tank directs water from her gutters into a storage system that will support her lawn and garden.
