Here's some more recent news from the mobile phone carriers industry. Let's start with some juicy ones. What do you think about a red iPhone? Will it sell? Will iPhone fans find it it sexy?

According to thius story from unwiredview.com, there were some reports that Apple will release a red version of the iPhone 3G. The reports also say that iPhone fanatics can get their hands this holiday season1 Well, Merry Christmas!

Looking at the red iPhone images from Macblogz. com, I can say that it looks great. It reminds of a sleek and sexy Ferrari or Santa Clause. Unfortunately, these reports are still unconfirmed. But Iphone fans dreaming of having a red iPhone should not despair because Apple might realize that they boost sales by introducing more colors for the iPhone.

Here's another iPhone report. According to a story revolving around some mobile phone sites, an iPhone 2.1 beta tester has found references to a copy and paste feature under the ‘Localizable.strings’ file in the WebKit framework. This is exciting because the iPhone 3G has been criticized for its a lack of the copy/paste feature which is standard for most smartphones.

However, some have dismissed tis report because those references may have merely carried over from the existing WebKit frameworks that are used for Windows PC and Mac application development. So nothing is definite yet on this report but I'm sure that Apple fans are hoping to get the copy/paste feature on the iPhone in the near future.

But enough with AT&T's iPhone. Here's some info on AT&T. The wireless network operator has recently filed a petition with the FCC to halt the merger of Sprint's Xohm Wimax service with Wimax provider Clearwire.

AT&T wants Clearwire and Sprint to demonstrate that the merger serves the public interest just like any other providers would have to do. This means that AT&T wants this deal to be examined thoroughly because because Clearwire is to be backed by heavyweights Google, Intel, and cable companies.

Lastly, here's some bad news for AT&T subscribers who want to have the BlackBerry Bold. According to BlackBerryNews, the AT&T BB Bold is now being scheduled for a launch on September 1. What's so bad about this report?
