The US version of the Nokia E71 is one highly anticipated handset, although it won’t command as strong a following as the recent iPhone 3G release. Still, this business centric cell phone is touted to be the slimmest QWERTY device on the market, measuring a mere 0.39″ in thickness. It is currently available to the general public via a range of consumer electronics, wireless and online retailers, and at the Nokia Flagship Stores in Chicago and New York. More of the E71 can be garnered if you read past the jump.

The iPhone is one stunning device to use, as you surely cannot argue against the sales numbers which doesn’t seem to abate even after being out in the market for approximately one year now? With news of an impending 3G iPhone ready to roll out this summer, the hype train is even going to pick up more speed. With Steve Jobs being the control freak that he is, it is no surprise the iPhone is a pretty locked down device and will take some jailbreaking before it can be unlocked, leaving many people being stuck in iTunes jail. Forget about being in iTunes jail - Orb Networks has a “Get out of jail free” card with their new OrbLive iPhone application. What does this do, exactly? Read on after the jump to find out more.

If you happen to own a brand new iPhone (or are a seasoned iPhoner by now) and want to unlock your handset, I bring you good news. There is now a brand new iPhone unlock solution that works on all firmware versions, allowing you unprecedented freedom on your iPhone as never before without being shackled to AT&T’s contract. This revolutionary unlock software will work with all firmware versions from 1.0.0 till the current 1.1.3 version. Another wonderful aspect about this software is its compatibility with iPhones all over the world, so you don’t have to worry whether you’re in Africa or in Asia - as long as you have an iPhone in your possession, you will be able to use it freely without having fears or worries about turning it into an expensive (albeit good looking) brick.

Number of iPhones unlocked? Many

According to Toni Sacconaghi - analyst at Bernstein Research - there are about 1 million iPhones that were sold and are not being used with the AT&T network, which obviously means that they were unlocked and are currently being used on other networks. In other words, 27% of the iPhones don’t have a relationship with AT&T.

Taking in consideration that AT&T made a big contract with Apple to get the exclusive phone deal, these studies are definitely bad news for both parties involved. In the end, people that don’t stay with AT&T after buying the iPhone, aren’t making carrier payments, which results in a big loss for Apple.

It’s Watch day here at Coolest Gadgets and for stocking stuffers, you just can’t beat these two beauties:
First, comic boon detective fans can get half their Dick Tracy fantasy with the Touchscreen Cell Phone Wristwatch. This unlocked GSM cell phone uses any sim card from an iPhone or from a GSM Cell Phone from AT&T/Cingular or T-Mobile. It makes standard cell phone calls (you dial by pulling the tiny included stylus from the side of the watch and tapping the numbers on the screen ) and will also receive.
