Recommendation: If you don’t mind doing some extra legwork for a headphone adapter and you don’t need to use the web browser all that much, the AT&T Quickfire is a good, affordable option for a younger crowd that loves to send text messages, IMs, and e-mail.

AT&T allowing home activations on iPhone again

AT&T;'s probably out of the woods. iPhone 3G [AT&T; via Crunchgear]
