How to get an iPhone in Montana

I have an iPhone 3G in Montana with a (406) area code phone number that I brought over from Verizon (the phone number, not the iPhone) with me about a year ago. It works great! It took a little bit of work to get it rolling, but it's actually not too hard. If you're willing to jump through a few hoops, I'll explain in plain English how to get the coolest piece of technology in existence.

Before we begin, a minor background on the situation for the uninitiated. iPhones are currently only sold in the US on AT&T. AT&T is not available in Montana. The main option here is Verizon Wireless, which most of the Montanans I know have. The reason you can't get an iPhone on Verizon is because the iPhone & AT&T "speaks" GSM and Verizon & it's phones "speak" CDMA. However, Cellular One is in Montana and does "speak" GSM, so you can get an iPhone on Montana's Cell One. To allow an iPhone to get on a cell carrier that speaks it's language (GSM), there is a process called "unlocking" that allows your phone to get on any network. Unlocking is not illegal.

So, here's what you need to do to get an iPhone in Montana.

iPhone Game Review: Little Metal Ball

I'm having a lot of fun with the iPhone game Little Metal Ball. Having been a big fan of Labyrinth (seen Labriythn 2 yet?), I was naturally interested in checking it out. Instead of the wooden maze approach, they take a whole level approach with many obstacles. You have the ability to jump and I feel like I've only seen the beginning of the difficult, creative levels they are going to through at me that will surely turn my love of this game to pure frustration. To capture the feel of the game better, I've filmed a good level (sorry about the slightly blurry video, but don't worry, it gets the point across) and I have several screenshots that I hope conveys the feel of the game well. Check it out if you're interested in another amazing addition to the iPhone games library. $1.99. Also be sure to check out the developer's trailer video for the game.

I love Apple Macs. Steve Jobs and his team has created one of the best platforms for enjoyable and effective creative outlets. But that's just what it is: a platform. What you build upon it is what makes it unique and amazing. Technology is what you make it. Read on to see a list of the applications I install almost as soon as I reinstall my computer's OS.
