Or you're stupid enough to pay that for one on eBay. Meanwhile my Treo 700W was $600 when I got it so I don't see the iPhone as overpriced for its claimed feature set.

Cingular is better than "It's the Notwork" (Verizon), "The least powerful" (Sprint), T-blobile, or "We cover the places nobody lives in" (Alltel) |

I'll take Sprint over ATT any day. Especially when I'm doing anything data related (ie - Treo, Blackberry, etc.), it is Sprint or it is slow as molasses.

said by Anonymous_ :i am talking about ebay Price There's no reason to pay that. Nor to wait in line. Apple will keep making these as long as they sell. It's not a limited edition. The worst that happens is that you wait a few weeks... but probably not even that. (So, in other words, these people are nuts.)
But, having seen the iPhone and seen other phones, there aren't nine other phones that can do what it does, nor even one, at any price.

For someone who lives in a rural, less populated area, I appreciate carriers (like AT&T Affiliate Edge Wireless and US Cellular, two of the three carriers here, Verizon being the third) that cover us "unimportant" people. |

Care to back that up with any independent studies?
......
That's right because Verizon and T-Mobile usually top them. Do not get confused when AT&T goes to town saying they're the best with part of the evaluation that in some bum Egypt market comes up with AT&T a .01 percentage point ahead. That's about 10 calls that did not have an issue out of a few hundred.

I'll wait for iPhone 2. It's bullsh*t that the Europeans get HSDPA and we get EDGE... not to mention the crappy non-replaceable battery that forces you to always be near a power plug. |

what other network???
there's only T-Mobile and AT&T as GSM.
Last time I checked, AT&T has the largest "digital" voice and data coverage in the nation. Don't get that confused now. |

| said by tc1uscg :But there are 9 phones that can do what the whyPhone can't. Yeah, sure. But no sense of aesthetics in any of them. How nice is it to download at 3g speeds, when it means you have to view the result on a Windows CE device?
The iPhone isn't perfect. It's just radically better... scratch that... it's really just in a different category. If the iPhone is what you want, you will not be remotely happy with any of the nine. And possibly, if you need something like GPS, you won't be satisfied with the iPhone. But if you had one, and traded it for one of the nine, I think you'd regret it.

No, there are several carriers across the US who use GSM as well. Some are- AT&T Affiliate Edge Wireless, Chinook Wireless, Einstein PCS, Three Rivers Wireless, Cellular one of San Luis Obispo, Alltel (for roamers only), and there are many more.
