iPhone 4 Diamond Rose: Price For The Most Expensive Phone In (world, record, Auckland, tech, strange, news, expensive)

I must admit I am one of those individuals who got mesmerized and stupefied at the same time when I saw one of Stuart Hughes first creation – The iPhone 3GS Supreme. At that time, I didn’t realize it was only a part of his other masterpiece which for me looks like it was more than fitted for a royal blooded highness already. (If ever there was such a thing like that).

Today, Stuart Hughes has released another part of his collection and this may very well be the most expensive phone on Earth. So it was an iPhone 4 alright – only this time, the master has strategically put 500 more pieces of diamonds compare to his older 20k dollar worth of iPhone 4 creation bringing it now to a total of 100 carats. It will be delivered to you on a special pink granite box should you be sane enough to order it.  And he calls it, “iPhone 4 Diamond Rose”.

To be more specific: The construction of this amazing masterpiece cost 5 million euros (8 million USD) and the reason why this has became even more special is because the type of stones used for this art were “Pink Diamonds”. With more adorned qualities, like rose gold encrusted on its rear and an Apple logo made out of diamonds in which you can customize when you like another variation.

Currently, there are limited stocks available. It was said that there were two identical creations already made for an Australian client.

Anyway, just for the sake of sour-graping, I do hope anyone who will buy the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose will have a cramp on their hands only to realize that it weights 7 kilos!

Android, Apple iPhone 4: What is Super WiFi? (Tech, news, report, Auckland, "iPhone Repair")

The FCC just cleared a path for a new generation of "Super Wi-Fi" technologies. Sounds great! But what the heck is Super Wi-Fi?  http://tiny.cc/superwifi
Super Wi-Fi is still Wi-Fi...
It's not as though Super Wi-Fi is some entirely alien concept. For all intents and purposes, it's Wi-Fi! The same kind of wireless data transmission you use around your apartment or at the office or waiting in line at Starbucks. It's just much, much more powerful.

...but on a new spectrum...
As John explained previously, pretty much all Wi-Fi activity takes place on the same 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies. For the first time in 25 years, though, the FCC has opened up a sizable new block of unlicensed spectrum, this time between 50MHz and 700MHz.
...that lives in between your TV channels...
Ever since television went entirely digital, folks like Google have been lobbying, literally, to free up the airwaves between channels. The so-called "white spaces" would otherwise have been lying around unused or been subject to prohibitive regulatory precautions.

...that's much more powerful than what we have today...
Unlike current Wi-Fi airwaves, whose reach can be measured in feet, the spectrum that would carry Super Wi-Fi would be able to travel for several miles because of that lower frequency. Through brick walls, even—something your Linksys really struggles with. You can also anticipate download speeds of 15Mbps to 20Mbps—about as fast as a cable modem.
...that shouldn't interfere with your regularly scheduled programming...
Back in 2008, when the white space plan was first approved, the biggest concern was that using these airwaves for data transmission could interfere with TV signals. To mitigate those fears, white space devices will be required to query a special geolocation database, ensuring no signals are crossed.

...and that will have (literally) far-reaching benefits...
The advantages are already apparent. Google, for instance, already has a trial running in a Logan, Ohio hospital that's giving first responders and the hospital grounds alike super-speedy broadband. Wilmington, NC uses white-space to send real-time feeds from traffic and security cameras. And eventually, you would potentially be able to access your home Wi-Fi from several blocks away.
...though maybe not for a while.
So far, most of what we know about how the white space will be used is based on conjecture. There may be some proof-of-concept devices early next year at CES, and there may be more mass production of products in a year or two. But the first Super Wi-Fi projects are likely to be medical, municipal, large-scale. How long it takes for us to be always connected from anywhere and anything? That's up to the inventors and entrepreneurs to decide.   

Is Geohot Working on Unlocking Baseband 05.12.01 for iPhone 3.1.3? ("iPhone Repair", "David Lim", Auckland)

Did Geohot change his mind? A few weeks ago he said that he would not work on OS 3.1.3 but what he tweeted yesterday suggests otherwise.Apparently Musclenerd and Geohot are talking to each other to figure out whether his exploit is the same as the one discovered by Sherriff a few days ago.This unlock would sure be a life saver to the many iPhone owners who “accidentally” updated their device to 3.1.3.

So You "Accidentally" Upgraded to 3.1.3. Now what?

This thread's purpose is to provide a central place for simple answers to the single most-asked question on this board at the moment, namely "OMG! I just Upgraded to 3.1.3 without checking with people first to see whether it was safe! What do I do now?" Because the situation is different for every iPhone model, I have decided to write up a post with answers to the question.

iPhone 2G
Jailbreak? Yes
Unlock? Yes

Relax, you're golden. The original iPhone has been permanently pwned, and nothing Apple does can prevent your jailbreaking or unlocking your phone. If you have upgraded your phone, you will have lost your jailbreak and unlock, but you can easily get it back by running redsn0w 0.9.3. When it asks you to point it to the firmware currently installed on your iPhone, you will have to "trick" it by pointing it to the 3.1.2 ipsw instead. Redsn0w will jailbreak your phone and install BootNeuter, which you can use to unlock your phone.

iPhone 3G
Jailbreak? Yes
Unlock? Probably No
You can jailbreak your phone using redsn0w 0.9.3. When it asks you to point it to the firmware currently installed on your iPhone, you will have to "trick" it by pointing it to the
3.1.2 ipsw instead.
Sadly there is currently no way to unlock the new baseband installed with this firmware upgrade, and for most people it is impossible to downgrade the baseband. A small percentage of 3G owners (only those who purchased their 3G iPhones in the first weeks after release) may be able to downgrade their baseband using Fuzzyband, which has just been updated to work with phones stuck on the 5.12.01 baseband. The only way to know for certain whether this will work for you is to install Fuzzyband from Cydia and try it.
Sadly, if you are not one of those fortunate few early adopters for whom Fuzzyband will work, there is currently no way to unlock your phone. This means that you can only use your phone on the carrier it is officially locked to (unless your phone is factory unlocked). There is not currently any prospect for unlocking your phone.
iPhone 3GSJailbreak? Maybe
Unlock? No

Whether you can jailbreak your iPhone depends on whether you were previously jailbroken and have your phone's ECID SHSHs on file in Cydia (you can check this by opening Cydia on your phone and seeing if it says in green at the top of the main page: "This device has SHSHs on file for iPhone OS: 3.1.2"). If you do have this information on file, you will be able to downgrade your phone to 3.1.2 using Saurik's server to sign your install request (follow instructions here). You will then be able to jailbreak your phone using redsn0w or blackra1n.

If you do not have your SHSH on file, you cannot downgrade your phone's firmware at this time, and you will therefore be unable to jailbreak your phone. All of the 3GS jailbreaking tools currently available rely on a USB exploit which has been patched in the 3.1.3 firmware. Since you cannot downgrade to 3.1.2 or earlier, you are out of luck for jailbreaking at the present time.
Sadly, whether you can jailbreak or not, there is currently no way to unlock the new baseband installed with this firmware upgrade. This means that you can only use your phone on the carrier it is officially locked to (unless your phone is factory unlocked). There is not currently any prospect for unlocking your phone.

Sony Ericsson Elm Preview: The First Look (Tech, News, Mobile Phone Repair, Unlock)

The Sony Ericsson may be green at heart but it sure looks like a red hot package complete with imaging, connectivity and novel design. Makers are keen to ride the green wave and phones are rushing to catch up. It seemed Sony Ericsson's GreenHeart had a slow start. But after a nice and easy rehash and the no-frills Naite, the GreenHeart is getting a speed boost with the Elm and the Hazel. Eco-friendly materials are combined with top-notch features and the already must-have social networking.

The Elm is not the standard feature phone we've got used to seeing from Sony Ericsson. Its true power is well hidden inside and the exterior makes sure the Elm will take more than a casual look. This candybar packs all the connectivity you will ever need - Wi-Fi, DLNA, GPS receiver, Bluetooth, 3G support with HSPA and microSD card slot.

Sony Ericsson Elm at a glance:

General: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
UMTS 900/2100
GPRS/EDGE class 10, HSDPA 7.2Mbps

Form factor: Candybar

Dimensions: 110 x 45 x 14 mm, 90 g

Display: 2.2" 256K-color TFT display, 240 x 320 pixel resolution

Memory: 280MB integrated memory, hot-swappable microSD card slot (up to 16GB)

UI: Proprietary Flash-based UI

Still camera: 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, geo-tagging, face detection, smile detection

Video recording: VGA @ 30fps

Connectivity: Wi-Fi with DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, GPS receiver with A-GPS and Wisepilot trial

Misc: Splash-resistant body, accelerometer sensor for screen auto rotation, SensMe, Noise Shield, Clear Voice and Intelligent Volume Adaptation, social networking integration with homescreen Widget Manager, HD Voice Ready

Battery: 1000mAh BST-43 Li-Pol battery

Surely, the specs above reveal the Elm's intention to give you a square deal besides the eco-friendly factor. In this quick preview we'll be trying to look beyond the promises the Sony Ericsson Elm is making. The handset we have is far from mature software-wise but the hardware is all there and the finish looks good. The trademark Sony Ericsson Flash-based UI is at its usual best but some of the promised extras will obviously have to wait for a more final unit and a proper review.

The Facebook integration is no news since the C901, but the Elm is keen to bring more - Facebook, Twitter and MySpace all a click away on your homescreen, courtesy of a novel widget system.

Since none of those are available on our test sample, we guess widgets and social networking will perhaps be the final touches to the Elm - and some of it will even be left to carriers themselves. But there's still enough stuff to check about an ambitious handset with a small environmental footprint and a long spec sheet.
