| Interesting You know what the funny thing is about all of this?
Even if the iPhone was free and the rate plans didn't change, people would still find something to complain about with all of this. If you want something to complain about look at what it would cost to have comparable service in Europe or Japan.
I myself have an iPhone and Blackberry Curve 8300. I have also had a Samsung Blackjack, a Treo 750, and an HTC Tilt. The iPhone and the Blackberry are the two best PDA's I have owned yet. I, personally, will be buying an iPhone 3G on launch day. I might even ditch my Curve with the new iPhone software supporting Push email and MobileMe.
If you want something that is going to work well then it is going to cost you. I worked for AT&T last year on the original iPhone launch day and I watched hundreds of people line up ready to shell out $600 for a slower iPhone. Regardless of what the Apple and AT&T haters have to say, I can only imagine how fast the new iPhones will sell out with a price tag of $199/$299.
Also, as far as a 2 year contract, I still do not understand what people have against it. Are you planning on taking it to an inferior U.S. GSM service like Tmobile? I mean, I guess some people do like paying every month for a service that doesn't work. Not me, I like my phone to be able to work in a greater coverage area across the States. | |
| But apparently it's not truly $199/$299. According to this article, unless I'm reading it wrong, new AT&T customers will still be paying the old price of $399 and $499. | |
| With upgrade eligibility or new activation the new iPhones are $199/$299 because they are subsidized by $200 with a new 2 year contract. | |
