Gallery: UK iPhone 3G unboxed and ready to go

I'm lazy, and couldn't be bothered to go and queue at an O2 store this morning, so I had my iPhone 3G delivered. Arrived just before 10am.

Here's a gallery of the unboxing. Yes, they're all over the web, but not many have got the British mains plug, or my Facebook profile page. Gotta be worth something, I'd have thought.

Super-blurry Motorola photos hint at 8-megapixel 'Skarven' mobile

img style=”margin:5px; float: left;” alt=”blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” src=”https://www.techdigest.tv/blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” width=”263″ height=”260″ />Don’t blame us for these ultra-blurry photos, they were taken by a sneaky journo in a Motorola presentation in Amsterdam, where photo-taking was strictly NOT allowed.

They previewed four new mobiles for next year’s line-up, including ‘Skarven’, (top right) which apparently has 8-megapixels (yes, this is still a mobile phone we’re talking about), optical zoom and a touch-sensitive screen. The three other phones that were proudly shown off by Motorola include the X PIXL (5-megapixels), TEXEL (music-playing handset with multi-layered keypad) and…

So this is me sliding the game out of the padded envelope, with bated breath. Could it be…is it…my god! It is! It’s the Saviour! The Game Of The Year! The game which will secure Microsoft’s crown as Console King! My god! Look at the shiny, clear plastic, stretched over the most handsome lime-green case you’ll ever own.

Only for the obsessed: round-up of the worldwide Halo 3 on Xbox 360 video game launches

Curse living in the UK! As if not having peanut butter M&Ms, GAP Sweatshirts and more TV channels than you can poke a stick at isn’t enough, the US also got their hands on Halo 3 a full day ahead of us. And it’s not just the Yanks we’re sending virtual envious glares at, it’s also the suntanned Kiwis and Aussies who are crossed off our Christmas card lists too. Bah humbug.

Not that us folk living in the UK and Europe have that much longer to wait, as the hugely-anticipated Game Of The Year is dropping into town tonight, with 1,000 stores across the UK extending their opening hours for the hordes of sweaty gamers expected. Of course, some of you may already have finished the last chapter in the trilogy by Bungie, as both Tesco and Argos somehow ‘accidentally’ managed to sell copies before the launch date. “Oh, sorry, mister, a unicorn ran into the store, grabbed several copies from the box, and placed them on the shelf, I didn’t know what to do!”
