What we did not know about iphone

By far the most impressive Story about iPhone, the most loved phone mankind had ever seen.
Fred Vogelstein form http://www.wired.com has written a 4 page story about iPhone and i liked the way he address this: "How the iPhone Blew Up the Wireless Industry"

I do agree on this point :

"
For decades, wireless carriers have treated manufacturers like serfs, using access to their networks as leverage to dictate what phones will get made, how much they will cost, and what features will be available on them. Handsets were viewed largely as cheap, disposable lures, massively subsidized to snare subscribers and lock them into using the carriers' proprietary services. But the iPhone upsets that balance of power. Carriers are learning that the right phone — even a pricey one — can win customers and bring in revenue. Now, in the pursuit of an Apple-like contract, every manufacturer is racing to create a phone that consumers will love, instead of one that the carriers approve of."

Clearly, iPhone has made US buyers to think about the mobile phones as a smart stylish device rather than a junk box they need to carry to be able to talk :)

Upgrade to SMS2.0

New Year brings new features. On December 31 2007 Airtel announced the launch of SMS2.0 service. The best part is ITS ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Currently this services is limited to Nokia phones powered by symbian [sounds too technical then have look at the supported devices]




Sadly this feature is not available for the S60 3rd Edition users.

I haven't used this service since i have a 3250 :| but going through the features and how the service works, i would say that is would be a symbian C++ application which would act as a default SMS application on the Symbian Phones. The application is developed by an UK based
Affle

If you are already excited about this service then hold on their is much more to some. SMS Social Networking

2008 starts with a very Sweet simple yet colour full service from Airtel. lets wait and watch what 2008 have for us.

How to:
How to get this service activated?

Simple, type SMS2 and send it to 543210 or 59191

Note: This services is available for Airtel customers only. And on selected handsets.
