Get a contract-free iPhone 3GS directly from Apple.com

It seems that there may be a pretty simple way to get an iPhone 3G S sans contract by way of Apple’s online store. I am not sure I would say this is a hack, or just a neat work around, but either way I have not tested it personally.

That said, this little trick also does not allow you to get any special or lower pricing. In other words you will still be paying the full rate for an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S.

Anyway, according to iTalkPhone you will need to use Firefox along with the Firebug plugin in order to do this. Assuming you have that taken care of, just follow the instructions listed below.

1. Go to any non-apple product in the store.apple.com (e.x: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV943VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4Mg&mco=NjM0MTMwMw)
2. Click on the little FireBug icon on the bottom of the screen, now Firebug pops up and Click “Inspect”, and choose the “Add to cart Icon”
3. In firebug, right above where it’s highlighted, you should see “”. Click on “TV943VC/A” and change it to the value of the iPhone you want:
Code:

iPhone 3G 8GB ($499): MB046LL/A
iPhone 3GS 16GB Black ($599): MB715LL/A
iPhone 3GS 16GB White ($599): MB716LL/A
iPhone 3GS 32GB Black ($699): MB717LL/A
iPhone 3GS 32GB White ($699): MB718LL/A
4. Now click on the Add to Cart button, and the iPhone should be in your cart. Proceed to buy it if you want.

Of course, I am pretty sure that if you are willing to pay full price to not have a contract then you can also make the purchase in-person at Apple or AT&T. However if you are set on not having to go out in order to make a purchase, then this may be the best way.

Remotely control uTorrent using your iPhone

Fresh off the recent denial of the Transmission BitTorrent app for the iPhone, users will now be able to have some remote uTorrent functionality using your iPhone. This one is not an installed app, but instead you will be visiting a web page that will allow you to check the current status of an active torrent, pause and/or resume a torrent download as well as adding a new torrent file.

Like I mentioned, these controls are not in the form of an iPhone app. Instead it involves some setup on the computer side. To begin with, you will need to download and install the uTorrent WebUI and also the uPhone UI. Once those are both set up you can then login and take control.

In interested, you can find the files to download as well as some directions on the iPhone Web Interface for uTorrent webpage.

Contract free iPhone 3G sales begin in France

It was a few weeks back when we first learned that the iPhone 3G would be available contract free in France, and now retailer FNAC has become the first to begin sales. Of course, as you would expect, the contact free handsets are not in any way inexpensive. The 8GB model is priced at €799 (around $1,123 US) and the 16GB model is priced at €899 (around $1,263 US). It was also noted that France Telecom has appealed the previous decision that made the injunction. In the meantime, if you are in France and have plenty of extra cash on hand, then I suppose you could pick up a contract free iPhone.
