AT & T has sent its employees an internal email with the request not to get out of the holiday period that vai of June 15 until July 12. Baotou this email to the gossip that recomeçassem across the network. The subject of gossip when he is the iPhone 3G, which has already been announced by some telephone operators.
In the first launch of the iPhone AT & T had already asked its officials not to take holidays in the period from June 15 to July 15, this to ensure sales.

Nokia’s Tube set to challenge Apple iPhone
By Andrew | April 8, 2008
It has not been a smooth journey for Apple iPhone. There’s yet another cell phone to challenge the ace. This time it is from the cellphone gurus Nokia. They are all set to launch there new model called Tube on the lines of Apple iPhone. Though the release date is not disclosed but the talks are already there in air.
Let a iPhone user review the Tube and he’ll take no time to pass the verdict that the phone is actually made with just one aim- to compete the iPhone.
To stand on the same shelf as iPhone, Tube will be feature a tilting touch screen, just like the iPhone with a built-in accelerometer to detect the viewing mode - portrait or landscape. Touted as Nokia’s slimmest and sleekest cell phone so far, the Tube will also supports the famous UI, which was a cool feature on iPhone as of now. Apart from that it will also provide a cool 16:9 movie playing mode to the user.
t seems it’ not just competing with iPhone but also washing it off is on Nokia’s mind as the brand has equipped the Tube with some extra smart features like the 3G or higher G such as HSPA for high-speed Internet, GPS capability and a camera with a minimum of 5 megapixel.
Last but not the least, talk about software applications and Nokia scores an edge over Apple iPhone by making Tube compatible with both Java and flash on its web browser, which was not the case with iPhone’s Safari browser.
