Steve Jobs’ iPhone Present To Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Still Locked On AT&T

We’re putting Steve Jobs in the Hall of Shame for this one. In June 2010, Apple CEO Steve Jobs gave Russian president Dmitry Medvedev an Apple iPhone as a gift. Turns out that the phone is still locked on AT&T, making it unusable in Russia. That’s just awful. Perhaps he might have to jailbreak it. [9to5Mac]

AT&T White iPhone 4 16GB Coming To Best Buy Soon

A picture of the white iPhone 4 shelf tag was spotted at Best Buy in Houston. Apparently the price of the white iPhone 4 is $599.99 without a contract. My guess is that it will be available in the next few weeks. Maybe Apple is planning to announce its availability around the same time as the 2011 Mobile World Congress conference to steal some of the hype around February 14-17. The QR code link in the picture above is inactive as of right now. [Engadget]

AT&T Responds To Verizon Ad With “Only AT&T’s Network Lets Your iPhone Talk and Surf At The Same Time” [VIDEO]

Yesterday I posted a video about Verizon poking fun at AT&T in a commercial. AT&T has responded with a commercial of their own. Verizon’s commercial said that you should have an iPhone on a network “that works.” And AT&T responded with a commercial that “only AT&T’s network lets your iPhone talk and surf at the same time.” AT&T’s commercial features a husband that forgot to reserve a restaurant for their anniversary and he surfs the web to do it while he is on the phone with his wife.
