hahahahah.... no 3G? How fucking retarded. Let's step back in technology!

According to Gizmodo:
According to an engineer who worked on the network/radio for the iPhone, there's a good reason Apple didn't have 3G in this iteration of the iPhone. He says less than 1% of Cingular customers have HSDPA capability—it's only available in a dozen or so markets. Plus, the engineer says the target users wouldn't know the difference anyway. Great confidence in the consumer, even if it's sorta true.

BUT, and this is the most important point, Apple's already designed a 3G version that's "in the works" with the FCC. 3G lovers may want to hold out for iPhone version 2. – Jason Chen

My phone costs more than the iPhone, but I still realize that the iphone sucks.
Explain that one.

 

[Hawra]

smart phone plan != regular cell phone plans.

this is a decent rate

 

[I see what you did there.]

does cingular offer unlimited text yet.

 

[Seelochani]

why someone would bother with the iphone, i have no idea

 

[JM3D]

i heard that you have to press pretty hard on the screen when using the on screen keyboard

 

[anew returner]

sadly it is designed for that type of crowd.. it just seems like a next gen phone

 

[cooldj9239]

oh so you've tried it?

[No message]

 

[aurorasreddawn]

i'd have to get the $80 plan

450 minutes is nothing

 

[JoshZman]

it has NOTHING to do with the amount of money it costs, it has everything to do with what it actually is capable of as a smart phone

[wasup124]

so can I get microsoft exchange server (outlook) on this "iPhone"? if so, it may be tempting to cash in my Treo for it.

 

[calolines]

Do you have a smartphone/ppc?

 

[epagien]

yet you make it like it's a new thing just because this plan is attatched to the hip and trendy iphone so you point out obvious flaws that have always BEEN there


Cingular/att has always either charged you for more txt messages.

hell when i started with them i wasnt even offered 200 txts only 100 and if you wanted to have 500 it would cost 5 bucks more a month


AND THIS WAS 2 YEARS AGO

none of this is new.
