FCC Approves iPhone 230
An anonymous reader alerted us that the iPhone is one step closer to hitting shelves. "The Federal Communications Commission approved Apple Inc.'s iPhone, clearing the way for the combined phone and music player to hit the shelves. Apple expects to begin selling the phones in late June. Some of the FCC documents confirm a few features of the phone, including it will have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and will operate in the 1900MHz and 850MHz frequency bands. The phone uses GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology and the low-speed GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless data standard."

The very first statement was blatantly false and misleading and the last was "Lame". That looks like classic flamebait to me.

Apple can package bullshit tomorrow and market it as premium fertilizer and their fans will buy it up.

The worst major carrier (digital broadband wise) is T-Mobile.
