If there’s a company out there that can take on Apple, it’s either Nokia or Sony-Ericsson. The latter company will be coming out with a sleek little cellphone called the C905 in Q4 of this year. It’ll have a really nice QVGA screen, support MS Exchange just like the iPhone 3G, Bluetooth, Xenon flash and some other crap. It sounds like a decent phone already, right? I mean, it’s even quad-band and supports 3G too. So why the boner?

It comes with an 8.1-megapixel camera built into the phone. No longer will you need a camera when you’re out. The iPhone has a 2-megapixel camera for comparison and Sony makes some fantastic technology, so expect this thing to be a BEAST. Rumor is that it’ll retail for about $700 unlocked.

Would you take an unlocked, 8.1-megapixel cameraphone over the iPhone?

This year’s Worldwide Developers Conference was a blast of Apple goodness with some long-awaited announcements. For over a decade, Apple has been showcasing new software and technologies for developers at WWDC. This was the first year that the WWDC has sold out, making it the largest one to date. Tons of iPhone/OS X/MobileMe news was unleashed by Steve Jobs himself and like years past, this year’s WWDC had spectators jumping out of their seats in hysteria.

Now that WWDC is over and a $199 8GB iPhone 3G has been announced for July 11th, are people ready to sell their first-generation iPhones on the cheap? Not yet it seems. We scoped out popular sites like eBay, Craigslist (NYC) and Google Shopping to see if anyone was ready to let their iPhone go for under $200.

Naturally, we don’t expect an exodus of old phones until after July 11th, but here’s what we found so far:

Sorry guys. Looks like the best deal out there is around $200. Might as well keep waiting.

WWDC was pretty overwhelming, but don’t let that stop you from drooling over the new 3G iPhone. Apple’s site is screwed up from all the traffic it’s getting, so here’s a bunch of iPhone 3G-related pics to keep you happy. Don’t even think of hitting up the online Apple Store - it’s gonna be borked for awhile. I’d imagine July 10th will have all the fanboys lined up outside stores, waiting for their precious $199 iPhone.

The iPhone 3G comes with:
* Stereo headset with mic
* USB power adapter
* Dock Connector to USB cable
* Documentation
* Cleaning/polishing cloth
* SIM ejector tool

NO DOCK? What the fuck? Guess we might have to build own or come up with some kind of bullshit.

Hey everyone! Trying to avoid WWDC today would be like a leper trying not to itch his arms - it’s impossible. So while it’s 100 degrees outside, we’re going to stay cool and keep you updated with what’s happening at the Moscone Center. Ryan and I will keep informed with over twenty different news sources, bringing the latest updates right to Gearfuse. We doubt the site will crash or anything like that, but if it does, we’ll be back. Keep refreshing this post for the latest updates on WWDC ‘08. Hit the jump to dive right in!

It’s June 9th and Steve Jobs is going to give a lot of geeks a hard-on today. The big rumor spreading around the web is that a 3G iPhone will be released and while I don’t doubt this at all, many sites have been publishing fake Apple photos left and right.

Let’s take a look at some of the photos and we’ll explain why they’re fake:

What’s a guy to do when his Powerbook case gets all messed up? Well, he could always completely dissect it and mount it to a cork-board. Seems that’s exactly what he decided to do. Love how the AC adaptor is still chillin’ there.

Think he still uses it or just uses it as a conversation piece?

With iPhone 2.0 on the horizon, everyone’s buying up what 1st-gen iPhones are still available. If you manage to score one and don’t use AT&T, you’ll have to jailbreak the phone. Instead of relying on conventional unlocking methods though, why not give the Universal SIM Unlock Card a go?

As the name implies, this is indeed a SIM card that’s said to unlock Apple’s iPhone and a cavalcade of other devices. You throw it in there, it works a little magic and next thing you know, your phone is unlocked. At $23, it seems like a great investment to start your own unlocking biz.

I must admit, I barely used my PowerMac G3 when I had it. If only I had gutted it and used it as a nifty mailbox for my cottage in Maine like this guy did. Doesn’t look too practical though, despite the easy-access case. It’s not R2-D2, but every fanboy can dream.
