In the past week or so that the iPhone 4 has been available, there’s been one major thing holding people back from from getting one. No, not the antenna issue. Instead, more people I talk to say they’re simply waiting for the white one to come out. Sadly, that’s not happening until the end of this month. But if you have cash to burn and don’t mind taking some risks, you can get one right now. Sort of.

The site WhiteiPhone4Now.com is promising to make you “one of the first in the world to own the white iPhone 4.” How? They have a DIY kit they’re selling to convert your black iPhone 4 into a white one.

The $229 kit includes the following:

* 1 x iPhone 4 Retina Display
* 1 x White iPhone 4 Front Panel
* 1 x White iPhone 4 Back Cover
* 1 x White iPhone 4 Home Button
* 1 x White iPhone 4 Digitizer (enables touch function)
* 1 x White iPhone 4 Front Panel Support Frame

Now, I have no clue if this is simply a bunch of parts from the black iPhone painted white, or if this site has made their own new parts to house your iPhone in a white case. (I assume the former if they’re including a Retina display — or at least, I hope that’s the case.) Hell, I don’t know basically anything about this site. But if you’re really, really desperate to get that white iPhone first, this may be your best bet.

The site includes a link to an iFixit guide for disassembling your iPhone 4 — this is how you’re going to have to build the phone around these new parts yourself. While the site promises that these are “easy to follow instructions,” the whole process involves some 30-plus steps including unscrewing a bunch of things, and using special tools for others. And that doesn’t include putting it back together. Yeah, it basically sounds like a big pain in the ass.

But for an extra $54 + shipping, WhiteiPhone4Now.com claims that another site, BrokeMyiPhone.com, will do the entire process for you (you include the iPhone 4 and these white parts).

The “Terms of Conditions” page on the WhiteiPhone4Now.com also notes at least one big caveat:

You will need to salvage your current iPhone 4′s front earpiece grill, the back cover’s lens cover and LED diffuser for a “complete look”, but the iPhone 4 will be 100% functional without them. As these small parts are not sold anywhere.

So obviously, this is very much try-at-your-own-risk. But if you’re desperate, this may be a way to go. Or you can just wait a few weeks and save yourself $229 and potentially one giant headache.

WhiteiPhone4Now.com promises to ship the first unit July 8. They’ll be doing so on a first-come-first-serve basis.

After WWDC this year, I got a chance to play with the elusive other color. It’s just like the black iPhone 4, but white!

If you love your Croc shoes, then you’ll be excited by this case that uses that same sort of materials to protect the iPhone 4.  These cases add a whole lot of bulk to your iPhone, but you’ll be able to toss around your iPhone to your heart’s content.  Plus, for those of you that are clumsy it’ll save your iPhone from that sudden impact when it hits the ground.

Now granted it’ll still leave the touchscreen open to use and that also means it could still be damaged.  The overall jarring from a fall will be taken care of though.  Plus since it is such a bulky case it can be doubled as a stand.  I have no idea how they’ll actually fit inside of your pocket though.

The new Iphone 4 gs stands before the door. Beside an improved camera, a bigger screen and a quicker processor, should tie on the Iphone 4 gs, above all, to the revolution of the first Iphones. Apple brings his new Super-Smartphone in position to repulse the wave in Android mobile phones.

So impressively the Iphone has also been since his start two years ago, it never was without mistake. Regular updates of the Iphone OS have polished some rough edges. Today a lot of that what did iPhone to a revolutionary mobile device is same like two years ago. In 2008 Apple opens his Iphone to platform for external software Programmer and cut the Iphone even more on the needs of his users. During this time the first serious competitors of the Iphone have also originated, Google has published the Android platform and Palm has put on the market his new WebOS operating system. While both platforms have to make up for something, nevertheless, they mark the march direction of the technological progress, and he is called still “Iphone”. The topical Smartphones an iPhone killer would be too simply to be called and too early, it is not also the Motorola Milestone. However, Apple can rest on the other side also not on his laurels. Meanwhile there seems to be every week a new Iphone killer and sometime it will be so far. However, Apple would not be Apple if it was not about the grown competition in the picture. The enterprise works absolutely hard most near Iphone 4 gs, on the next revolution. Which features contribute to the fact that the Iphone maintains 4 gs his poles position? Up to now Apple has carried out important hardware changes in iPhone only one or twice since the original version of the device. But every hardware update has brought considerable improvements, and also for the next Iphone 4 gs of model one can expect an other step forwards. The new Iphone 4 gs will receive a bigger screen. The newest and best iPhone competitor is the Motorola Milestone and many say that 3.7 inches of display with a resolution of 480 x 854 is better than iPhone. With the Iphone 4 gs there will be anyway a display with a higher resolution.

Apple has substantially improved with the Iphone 3GS his built-in camera. Beside 3 Megapixeln, there is a huge number of software Functions, like autofocus, macro-mode and better admissions with bad lighting conditions. Nevertheless, Apple was caught up for a long time by the competition. The Motorola Milestone offers 5 Megapixel to camera with additional functions which the Iphone does not have as for example a picture stabilizer and a flash LED. Apple will have to add in Punkto on camera function with the Iphone 4 gs of model substantially. Another important point is the life span of the accumulator. The Iphone accumulator is relatively good, except one uses Wlan, GPS or starts to play plays on the Iphone. However, nowadays people want to do exactly this. The Iphone accumulator is not better or worse than that of his competitors, indeed, the user’s behaviour is with Smartphones differently than with mobile phones. The people love to use it her Smartphone and the longer they can use it without loading, they are the more contently. His distance to the competition net curtain has worked Apple, above all, by his ext. Iphone user can personalise her Smartphone with more than 100,000 applications. Also the Iphone 4 gs will continue this tradition. With iPhone one can administer contacts, provide appointments and send emails and conceive. However, all these basic functions could be reworked with the Iphone 4 gs. With Android to 2.0 and Palm Pre, one can integrate, for example, contact information from on-line services like Facebook or Xing. Nevertheless, the calendar of the IPhone is especially weak and cannot be synchronised yet with iCal. Also the email could become with the IPhone 4 gs a system so improves which one can fetch emails from several email accounts and administer multiple account about an interface. An improved Exchange support would make the Iphone 4 gs, besides, for enterprise customers more interesting and win additional converts.

What seems for a long time overdue also, a synchronisation of the Iphone is with the computer about Wlan. MobileMe and Exchange user could synchronise in future her contacts and calendar information on the iPhone over the air. Dell introduced only recently with Dell Latitude Z600 a notebook which can be charged absolutely wirelessly. Apple could use the technology straight to give the air of the revolutionaries to the Iphone again. With the Wlan synchronisation users could download contents directly into the IPhone 4 gs from the iTunes net curtain about Wi-Fi. What the present Iphone 3GS lacks clearly is Multitasking and the support of pushing news. It seems inevitable that iPhone 4 gs explaining of several concurrent applications permits, at least for important applications like Mp3 player and Instant Messaging clients. All the same as good the IPhone 4 gs becomes in Puncto hardware and software if the user to no good services receives, one can buy himself as well one iPod air. Apple could loosen the exclusive connection to a certain mobile radio provider with the publication of the IPhone 4 gs. According to analyst Apple could sell about 4% more IPhones worldwide with a free provider’s choice and take a bigger share of the market accordingly also. The wave in new Google Android Smartphones will force Apple sometime to this step. It is only the question, when this will be. In the USA Apple should be according to rumours already in conversations with other mobile radio providers. For Germany one could fancy, the Apple the old Iphone models in trade leaves and expels about alternative mobile radio suppliers, while merely the Iphone 4 gs about the exclusive partner is sold. It is unclear also how long the exclusive contracts generally run. All these improvements would do iPhone 4 gs a Smartphone of the future. It is to be known impossibly what plans Apple, but one certainly: Apple will put on the market this iPhone 4 gs with new, innovative functions sometime next year. Besides, the IPhone 4 gs will be so revolutionary like the first Iphone in January, 2007.

Vodafone has launched a new range of handsets, including its “most affordable” ever and its first own branded consumer GPS handset.

The Vodafone 835 is Vodafone’s first consumer 3G mobile phone with built-in GPS made specifically for the Vodafone Find and Go navigation application and it will be available this spring on contract.

Described as a slim candybar phone in a premium silver metal finish with a 2.4-inch colour display, features include email, mobile browsing, embedded Vodafone Music and Google Maps, MMS, Vodafone Messenger for instant messaging, 2MP camera, a second camera for video calls, Bluetooth, FM radio, and a slot for extra memory.

The 3G Vodafone 736 is a compact slider with a 2-inch display that offers Google Maps, Vodafone Music and Vodafone Messenger. It also has a 2MP camera, Bluetooth, FM radio, and a slot for extra memory.

The Vodafone 735 is a candybar version of the 736 that will be available in rose, white and silver, while the Vodafone 735 will come in black, and be available in Europe from the spring on pre-pay.

The Vodafone 135 is an affordable candybar mobile aimed at developing markets. Vodafone says its design makes it the most affordable phone of its kind on the market and it will be available in the summer in black in developing markets on pre-pay.

The Vodafone 235 is a candy bar style 2G mobile with a 1.5 inch colour display and FM radio, vibrating alert, alarm clock, a speakerphone and headset jack, polyphonic ring tone functionality and games. The phone will be available in black from the spring, mainly in developing markets.

Following up on the Vodafone 527 “Rainbow range” the operator will launch a new “Catwalk Collection” of Vodafone 527 mobiles in “bright and sporty” spring colours: violet, ice, rose, lemon and sky. The Vodafone 533 slider mobile will be offered in gold, candy, ice, violet and petrol.

Available in Europe from March, these handsets will offer a built-in camera, MMS, FM radio, MP3 player, Bluetooth and external memory slot.

Samsung Electronics has unveiled a solar-powered full touchscreen phone called “Blue Earth”.

No eco launch is complete without earthy PR speak, so the Blue Earth is apparently designed to “symbolise a flat and well rounded shiny pebble”.

More importantly, the Blue Earth is the first such phone to the market and charges up via the solar panel on the back of the phone, apparently generating enough electronic power to make a call anytime.

Adding to those green credentials, the Blue Earth is made from a recycled plastic called PCM, which is extracted from water bottles.

Both the handset, and its charger, are free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate.

Samsung says the Blue Earth comes with a unique user interface designed “to draw attention to preserving our fragile environment”.

Screen brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth can all be adjusted in an energy-efficient mode called “Eco mode”.

In addition there’s an “eco walk” function that lets the user count their steps with an in-built pedometer, calculating how much CO2 emissions have been reduced (and therefore how many trees have been saved) by walking as opposed to taking the car.

With recycled packaging, and energy efficient charger, the Samsung Blue Earth will be available in the UK during the second half of 2009.

We’re waiting on more specification information about the handset from Samsung and will update the story when we have it

LG has announced a new candybar phone in the form of the KM330. This handset comes equipped with media capabilities. It is actually a low-end music phone. This Tri-Band GSM phone offers a 2-inch 340×320px 262K color display, a 3MP camera with autofocus, FM Radio, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 Full Speed, 90MB of internal memory, and microSD memory card slot (up to 8GB). You can bring home the LG KM330 with your 170 Euro without a contract.

Trying to pip the crowds at mobile phone expo, Mobile World Congress, Toshiba has announced a new phone that promises to “revolutionise the mobile entertainment world”.

Saying that it “has listened” to what consumers want, the company has announced the TG01 – a slim 4.1-inch wide VGA touchscreen handset that is 9.9mm thick.

“We’ve taken all the technology from our TVs and put that into the screen”, said the company’s manager for UK and Ireland.

Featuring the new Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, the company says the 1GHz chip will be considerably faster than any device on the market.

Users will be able to interact with the device using a virtual trackpad that will appear on screen. Instead of an accelerometer, the phone will use something Toshiba are calling a “G-sensor” that allows you to tilt the phone around a central spot.

On the tech side you’ll get HSDPA 3G and AGPS or GPS connectivity. Elsewhere you will get a microSD card for expanding the 512MB memory and there will be support for DivX.

Sporting Windows Mobile it will come with Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 and full flash support allowing you to watch any flash video on the phone from the Internet.

It seems that Samsung is serious in the dual SIM cell phone market. The Korean giant has recently introduced the new Samsung B5702 phone that supports dual SIM and has no touchscreen display. Sadly, there is no further info about this slider phone. We hope that Samsung will announce the B5702 at Mobile World Congress 2009.

You might be familiar with the LG Neon, that’s because the handset has already been released before in the form of the LG KS360. The phone is specially made for those who like to send SMS instead of holding actual voice conversations. The LG Neon features full QWERTY keyboard for fast text input, a 2.4 inch touchscreen display, and an AT&T logo on the front side. No info on pricing or availability at this time.
