UPDATE: Looks like neither Skynet’s first strike nor a Cylon invasion were to blame, but a power failure in Michigan. AT&T has put out a press release (via Chicago Breaking News — Thanks Jeremy!). Here’s hoping everyone gets their ubiquitous connectivity back ASAP.
Both Jeremy (Chicago) and Dieter (MN) seem to be having no-joy with their AT&T service today. (I’m on Rogers, so aside from poverty, I’m fine thanks!)
How’s it holding up in your area? Loud and clear, or data fail?

UPDATED: AT&T Service Outage in Your Area?
Well the day that has been oh so talked about here at TiPb has finally come. The black 8GB iPhone 3G model for $197, and the 16GB black or white model for $297. So much for those $99 rumors although, you will save a measly $2 compared to buying it at Apple or Best Buy (though AT&T does have the 8GB for $99 refurbished).
So pick your poison. If you do happen to pick one up at your local Walmart, please share your experience in the comments!

Walmart Selling iPhone 3G Starting Today
A few days ago Jeremy mentioned ngmoco:)’s Topple was being offered for free via the iTunes App Store. One of the reason’s why is that it’s subtly advertising the new game in town: Rolando, which is picking up a lot of very positive word of mouth.
Have you tried it yet? Should we believe the hype?

Blurry off-angle photo? Check. Recycled tag line? Check. Recycled hero artwork? Check. Photoshop? Check.
Yes, folks, Jon4Lakers appears to have iPhone Nano fakes just in time for Macworld? And could it be from the same fine folks who brought us the fake Mac Mini poster?
Sure, case makers have made iPhone Nano rumors all the rage again, but just shrinking down the screen’s physical size making capacitive targets difficult for beefy fingers to hit doesn’t make much sense, does it?
With Apple, anything can happen, so the only question is, what’s more likely? Phil Schiller whipping out an iPhone nano at Macworld, or tons more fakes before he ultimately doesn’t?

Fake iPhone Nano Pics du Jour?

Android Central (via Gizmodo) brings us the latest in a long — long — line of… er… iPhone inspired smartphones. This one, however, will be running the Google mobile OS:
The OPhone is 1mm bigger than the original iPhone, has a dedicated camera button, 5MP camera, flash, microSD slot and 3.5mm headphone jack. Yeah. Sounds pretty flippin’ sweet to us too.
TiPb will reserve judgement until it launches, but it will be interesting to see Android on hardware other than the slider-trackball-touch G1. Won’t it?
