If you thought you’d have to submit to the reality of owning a faux woodgrain-themed myTouch to get in on that all-important 3.5mm headphone jack, think again — the myTouch 3G “1.2″ that’s been making the rounds on the rumor circuit recently has just been snapped, it seems, and it’s exactly what you’d expect: a Fender Limited Edition minus the Fender branding and with a return to the solid colored-shells of old. For most — particularly those who don’t believe in that loud, newfangled rock ‘n roll — this is probably a more sensible choice, and we’d argue it probably breathes enough life into the aging set to keep in on shelves for the better part of 2010.

Truphone — better known for its VoIP services than anything else — is getting into the rough-and-tumble world of international roaming with the introduction of its Local Anywhere SIM. At a glance, you might think that it works like countless other global prepaid SIMs that are ready to get shoved into the unlocked quadband phone of your choice, but here’s Truphone’s secret: on its higher-end packages, you can add local numbers for countries you visit frequently. To borrow the company’s example, this means local pizza delivery dudes can buzz you without placing a multi-dollar call. The big hangup is that you can only get numbers in the US and UK at this point, but they’ll apparently be adding in Australia, Netherlands, South Africa, and “many more” this year.

Truphone’s Local Anywhere SIM gives you a local number anywhere, as long as ‘anywhere’ is the US or UK originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:24:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
