If anyone managed to get an order in via O2 for an iPhone 3G they would have noticed that you had no option to buy the white version. Anyway there is a video showing the iPhones arriving at an AT&T store in America and they are definitely getting them at launch, they also come in a different white box to suit. Video after the break.

The Pentagon will issue hand-held lie detectors this month to U.S. Army soldiers in Afghanistan, pushing to the battlefront a century-old debate over the accuracy of the polygraph. The Defense Department says the portable device isn’t perfect, but is accurate enough to save American lives by screening local police officers, interpreters and allied forces for access to U.S. military bases, and by helping narrow the list of suspects after a roadside bombing.
Japan’s Apple fans traded sleep and comfort for the thrill of being first to buy the latest iPhone as they began queueing on Wednesday, two days before it officially goes on sale there.
Some 30 people lined up in front of a Softbank Mobile store in downtown Tokyo where the iPhone will go on sale at 7:00 am Friday, five hours earlier than any other Softbank store in Japan.
According to msmobiles a group of people have managed to reverse engineer the SDK to allow developers access to the tilt sensor functionality of the HTC Diamond. Why this was not available by normal routes is beyond us but never mind. Hopefully this will lead to a lot of new programs utilising this great feature in the future. Video after the break.
Walt Mossberg had posted a review video of his impressions of the iPhone 3G. On the whole, mostly positive about the device; he likes the form factor (which he wants to stress really hasn’t changed much), says the 3G speeds are a big improvement over EDGE, and informs us that the audio quality and phone reception are a big improvement. Check out the video after the break.
O2 has blamed Apple for the "disappointing and frustrating experience" many would-be iPhone 3G owners had to put up with when the carrier began taking advance orders for the handset this week.
In an email said to have been sent to one consumer who complained about the near-collapse of O2’s ordering system, O2 Sales Director Steve Shurrock laid the blame at Apple’s door, specifically the Mac maker’s alleged inability to get sufficient stock in place to meet demand – despite O2’s requests for more.
Youtube user Palmsolo posted this, a quick look at the Ipaq 910, but its a full 11 minute examination of a rather recent phone. Its hardly spectular however HP seem to like to put fairly beefy processors in their devices, so it may push some boundaries. The reviewer also points out some of the bugs.
Pocketnow have posted a video glossing over the Toshiba G910. Looks like a nice phone and in comparison to everything that seems to be coming out over the next month it looks nicely unconventional.
