iPhone finally here!
Will be interesting to see what happens here.
I heard the new 3G was not easy to unlock, but I see a few sites offering unlock options.

Has anyone here unlocked their G3 iPhone?

I'm wondering about the map / gps function. It's working perfect in the US.
The real time traffic info would be pointless in the DR anyway...
I guess there was no way to miss the xmas season - even with some missing functions - it use to be or maybe still a MS strategy.
I'd bet the price won't be under US$ 500.00.
Well, what can I do? I'm addicted to apples....

I just upgraded my Blackberry Pearl to the BB Curve...Ive been toying with the idea of the iphone 3G...I have until tomorrow to return it, if the pricing is reasonable and they are available right away, I may do it...
Robert,
It's only a piggyback sim or ghost sim. I know some guys who's phone got fried by it or the sim stuck in the phone. A friend of my told me about a week ago that there is a company who sell good piggy back sims, which will work on the 2.1 version only so far and thin enough so it won't stuck.
I'd hate to be the first to write a negative feedback on it
Let's hope that the O/S software for the claro/orange can be cloned - even if it won't unlock it, only makes it work on claro, I'll be happy.

Here is the iPhone plan from Claro:
iPhone Claro
But I could not find the price of the phone itself.

I had a Blackberry Curve, fine phone. My partner, a big long-time Blackberry fan, just got a G1 Android, the new "Google phone". Has much of the whiz-bang iPhone features with a...*gasp*...full qwerty keyboard. His comments:

He says it's Linux based, so there are a ton of free apps with many more in the pipeline. He's quite the techie geek...
BTW- our tour blog (Dominican Republic Tours Blog) was updated with pics and GPS position in real time from his Android. Pretty damn slick to do all that from a small cell phone from a motorcycle...
This phone is beautiful!
HTC ? Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer: Products ? T-Mobile G1: Specification
Is your partner is using this with Claro? Do you know what kind of data/voice plan he's using?
If there's blackberry support in the pipeline, I will probably wait for that...but this seems like a true "best of both worlds" phone with the big touchscreen *and* qwerty keyboard...add BB push email and... wow...
BTW, they seem to be going for $400-$500 on ebay, new and unlocked

I have the iPhone 3G here in NY. I got it over the summer when it first came out. I absolutely love it. One of the best purchases I made.
It has windows mobile 6 and java so the program options are endless, games as well. you can run msn, skype (iphone can't) etc on it. It has FM radio (iphone doesn't), the sound is louder and better than iphone, its unlocked, quad band, has wifi, gps (useless here at the moment), expandable memory (iphone is fixed memory), it has 3G internet (but like iphone, its expensive to use in DR), It has a 2 meg pix camera and it can record videos (iphone can't).
Its sold for under 200 dollars.
Now compare this to iphone anywhere?
Remember, the phone has to be M88 to be used in DR because the clone T32 is the same as M88 but its triband so it can't be used on 850 mhz range (example claro).

He has T-Moble in NJ where he's from. It defaulted to Claro while roaming...where they had a signal. The mointains and a lot of Samana had none.
I agree, it seems the best of both worlds: slick graphic presentation with a full keyboard.
Supposedly there is BB support in the short-term pipeline.
Many ebay sellers will ship to the DR...or you can use Pakmail, BusinessMail, EPS, etc...
Here's one:
