>> What's up guys you're watching everything on our Crave blog at crave.cnet.com. Look who I got -- Bonnie.

>> Hi Flash! How's it going?

>> What's up? What's up Boom-Cha. Now we know the iPhone 3G has been out for about a week.

>> About a week -- yeah.

>> So still hot, still hard to get.

>> Yes.

>> And you've heard about the unlocking of the iPhone 3G?

>> Yes I have.

>> Yeah, so this is something that I Crave because now a group that's self-dubbed themselves the iPhone Dev Team.

>> Right.

>> They've actually jail broken the iPhone 3G and it jailbreaks the 2.0 firmware.

>> Right.

>> So it just gives the ability to at least run the...

>> To add the application -- yeah.

>> ...earlier apps that aren't available on the store.

>> Right.

>> Which is cool. Now for people that can't get the iPhone.

>> Right.

>> I mean, you would see a lot of phone like -- what's your pick?

>> That's tough, but I would go with the N95 for now.

>> Okay.

>> Because it's out, but there should be more phone by the end of the year or so. I might change my mind.

>> With the 3G juice, I mean are there really any good phones that can hang with the 3G? Like battery life for us.

>> You know what I found typically that it just -- it's gonna drain faster. The battery's gonna drain faster like all the smartphones that I've tested.

>> That's what I hate.

>> Yeah.

>> The battery on the iPhone 3G sucks. Like it only sucks because I use it a lot.

>> Yeah.

>> I mean I'm on car trains I check out my...

>> Right.

>> Videos, music, Podcasts about 3 hours a day and I take phone calls. My phone dies around like 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock.

>> Yes -- before.

>> Where before, I got through the whole day.

>> Yeah.

>> You see, I'm not happy Apple. Okay now also you brought some other things.

>> I did.

>> From the Crave blog. What you got for us?

>> I have the Nokia 6205 Dark Knight Edition.

>> Oh my god.

>> The phone isn't all that great, but it's got the Dark Knight emblem on it.

>> Wo-wo.

>> It has ringtones.

>> Can you like play one for me?

>> Yes.

>> Let's hear it.

>> Okay.

>> Ha, ha, ha.

>> Those are Joker laughing.

>> That didn't even sound like Heath Ledger's laugh. I saw the movie.

>> But wait, here.

>> So, you do them. They're just a freak, like me.

>> That sound like him.

>> That's cool.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay that was cool.

>> Wanna hear one more?

>> Yeah, let's do it again. Let's do another one.

>> Okay.

>> What would you have me do?

>> That's --

>> That's a ringtone?

>> I know -- yeah.

>> You know what? Now if I was a guy and a girl called me and the ring tone was "What would you have me do?" That's kind of weird.

>> That would be awkward.

>> Yeah.

>> For the girl [inaudible].

>> What would you have me do?

>> Another thing on the Crave blog that you write about.

>> Right.

>> I check out too. What you got?

>> All of the Eco-club.

>> Yes.

>> There's this club in London where the more you dance the more energy it produces and it actually powers the club. And then the surplus energy from the club can actually power homes around the area.

>> See that's right -- that's pretty sweet.

>> That is cool -- yeah.

>> I mean, you gotta go green if you go clubbing.

>> I know.

>> It's like saving the world one booty shake at a time.

>> You could put it that way.

>> Alright now were bringing back the Crave trivia for everybody. And I know I was complaining about the iPhone 3G battery, so we brought the Kensington battery pack for you. Bonnie you have a question for us?

>> I do.

>> Okay.

>> So last week at E3 Brian was using a game to test the Wii Balance Board. What was that game?

>> What was it? Now we're gonna give out three of these guys. So as long as you email us, you know, be the first one to do it and we will send you a battery pack. This works on the iPhone or the iPhone 3G. So pretty good.

>> Perfect.

>> Alright, now you know what time it is.

>> Do Not Crave time.

>> Do Not Crave -- it's time. Thanks to California's recent hands-free law where you can no longer drive while talking with the handheld cell phone, you would think that things might be getting better on the road. Well, that remains to be seen, but a whole new phenomena has sprouted up. We are in the age of the Bluetool. You know that person who wears a Bluetooth headset 24/7 just to look like that they've got something going on, even when they're not using the phone. When they're walking on the sidewalk by themselves, they got a headset in their ear -- Bluetool. That headset light you see blinking at the movies, sporting events or restaurants with their friends around? Bluetool, now please if you are doing this or know someone who is, cut the crap out now. Friends don't let friends be Bluetools and all I gotta say is Do Not Crave.

>> Bluetool.

>> Bluetool. Alright guys thanks for watching Crave. Now you can check out everything we talked about here at our blog at crave.cnet.com. Thanks for coming.

>> Of course.

>> Okay we'll see you guys next week, alright. See you.

>> Bye. ^M00:04:24 [ Music ]
