Orange brings iPhone to Romania

 

“Orange today announced a new agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Orange customers in Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Portugal,Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and Orange’s African markets later this year. “ - orange.com, wsj.com.

I wonder how many romanian Vodafone customers will switch to Orange. I’m surely not going to do this mistake.

Anyone wanna bet that the new iPhone will cost 1000 euro without a plan in Romania?

A few things about my iPhone

 

I managed to hack my iPhone to work with VodafoneRomania gsm carrier, using this hack. After the first days of excitement, now I realize it’s missing some basic features:

1. -No copy/paste. As unbelievable as it sounds, there is no way you can select/copy/paste text with iPhone.

2. -Can’t find text/words within web pages in Safari. Well, there is a bookmark javascript available, but it’s not working in 90% of the cases.

3. -No option to save images from web pages in Safari.

4. -No Flash support. (!!!)

5. -No word processor.

6. -No .pdf documents reader.

7. -No to-do list. That’s a major flaw.

I really hope Apple will include these things in the next version… Until then here’s my iPhone photo gallery.
