The new iPhone 5 is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat on 3g and 4g (no longer restricted to WiFi only), face recognition and extreme downloading. (List of possible features below). Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more and more technology comes out. And it is on the rise, and not just at Apple, Inc!

Sprint has a 4G network already… AT&T and Verizon Wireless are in the beginning stages. There are talks of Verizon Wireless getting iPhone sometime in 2010 but it looks like they will get it for sure in 2011 when the new iPhone 5 comes out.

Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T’s lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on 4g network, not Wi-Fi).

Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!…are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add’s the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own…it is VERY automated.

I have an iPhone 4 and will be traveling to New Zealand with it. The is a company there called 2 Degrees that offers a prepaid SIM card that will allow me to use their 3G network to make calls and get email, etc. Can I just put it into my iPhone replacing the AT&T SIM card or do I need to "unlock" it which I don't want to do!

Phone will probably need to have a carrier unlock.

Thanks,
Andrew Wood

Also, the iPhone4 uses a micro-sim card, not the same one the rest of the world uses. Make sure they offer this smaller format. Regular SIMs can be trimmed AND I suspect 2 Degrees might not want you to do that.
