A Cellphone is a PHONE not anything else .....

You don't like the "price" of service ??? Don't buy that service.

I wouldn't single out one company..

I don't have a iPhone and not in a rush to get one but what it did was raise the bar. People are tired of having a phone that will do this and not do that, or having to buy an expensive 'business' style PDA phone to get alot. Heck I read something that said two thirds of Blackberry users are business/government users-you think they are going to rush to make more consumer phones. I'm just glad the Razer is old news and phones are taking different directions. The iPhone will continue to sell like it is until other companies get on the ball and start trying something new... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20800325 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:55:39 EDT Re: [rant] iPhone and AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20781805 joako : But still I don't understand what else beyond the SIM Card and data plan activation would be needed....

I mean if I have an AT&T SIM with a data plan why can't I just put that in the iPhone and start using it? WHy is further activation even required?

A PC would not be needed if iTunes was working right - it would have been done within the AT&T store.

I have no need for over priced i anything...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20781543 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 18:01:57 EDT Re: [rant] iPhone and AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20781499 joako :

Providing the NSA with info without a warrant thanks to the Pres wiretapping is now legal without a warrant - at least for the govt.
Because AT&T is the **ONLY** company that has ever done such a thing.

Me I dont get the iPhone because its an overhyped POS. Why does it need a PC to activate?

I played with one in a store once. It was in the web browser and I played with it for almost 10 minutes and could not get back to the home screen. Gee... my phone has a "HOME" button with a pretty picture of a house! How is removing all the buttons and making it so someone that just picks up your product can't even use it without training considered "user friendly?" It's like Microsoft re-releasing DOS 4.0 and hyping it as much as Apple has with their crap.

as for at&t and what it might have done before sbc bought them well that is just too bad. the NSA has been doing this stuff for literally DECADES and I don't see you rallying your battle cry against them. if you are not a terrorist or conspiring against the US then you have nothing to worry about do you? Trust me that nobody cares that you called your uncle Pedro in Guatemala five years ago. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20780714 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:27:36 EDT Re: [rant] iPhone and AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779764 Dogfather : I'd rather show papers at mile stop checkpoints than ever go back to horrid Windows Mobile.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779764 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:05:32 EDT Re: [rant] iPhone and AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779718 CylonRed : Providing the NSA with info without a warrant thanks to the Pres wiretapping is now legal without a warrant - at least for the govt.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779718 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 09:47:03 EDT Re: [rant] iPhone and AT&T http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20779537 removed :

Its nice to want new gadgets and have the latest and greatest, I understand that. Is your personal freedom worth 200 bucks and some change? When you buy the iPone and activate you are supporting AT&T in their big brother policies, even if you don't think that you are. You are.

I know I will get ripped to shreds for this-but be please do not support AT&T even tho I know they are the only US carrier of the phone at the moment.

Thank you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20778965 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 01:18:32 EDT
