Have you read the fine print......Isn't there a bandwidth cap???? You pay through the arse if you exceed it????

As of today there is a bandwidth cap. Anyone who had the unlimited data plan prior to today is grandfathered in.
ohhh! Unlimited data on a crappy network!

no joke. AT&T's network is completely choked. The new iphone 4 is great... if you are on a wifi network. I think it's time to sell my apple stock. They hit the wall with their cool gadgets. their bottleneck is the network.

Check out the Verizon MIFI, it's a standalone wireless Internet card that connects via WIFI, up to 5 devices. I use it at work, great for when others are with and need access, just give them my password to log into the wifi network.

Apple is building demand and extra hype and will offer the iPhone on all carriers before the end of the year. Why do you think AT&T increased the early termination fee effective today along with the data caps. They know that something is in the works. Once the demand is busting at the seams they will announce the additional carriers and bury Android.

Bury android? Please. That is just silly.

I like Android but it's Microsoft Windows all over again. They have the same model and will have the same problems that Microsoft does. They provide the OS but they have to support a million different hardware configurations, screen sizes, networks, etc. This inherently causes instability and a lack of cohesiveness in the user experience. The apps are unregulated which means that any given app could bring the phone down and its up to you to track down the problem. Updating the OS is a pain in the butt and its inconsistent among the different devices and carriers. All of this makes the phone very vulnerable and very hard to maintain quality.
Take all of the above and replace 'phone' with 'Windows' because you are talking about the same thing.

Well, let me know when Jobs has the market share that MS does.
I'm an Apple fan, but they aren't open enough for the rest of the market. They have great design, but are run like Cuba.

Ps: I'm typing these responses on my iPad, which I think is more revolutionary than the iPod or iPhone. but it will be the android devices that blow the doors off at $99. At $499 this thing is still elitist.

For what its worth, he has a larger market cap than MS does.
The whole "open" argument doesn't mean anything to the average user. They see a phone they like and they buy it. There is a very limited subset that knows or cares about openness. Did anyone complain that the Motorola Razr wasn't open? Is anyone complaining that Nokia isn't open? What does everyone mean by "open" anyway? Do they want the ability to hack their phone? Do they want the ability to use it as an access point and suck the bandwidth from the other users?
I wasn't going after you personally but I can't find a single person that can tell me what's not open on the iPhone that they wish was open. The ability to switch carriers? That has nothing to do with being open. That's flexibility. The ability to buy sketchy apps outside of the app store? They own the app store why wouldn't they want to maintain control over it?
I really don't get the whole "open" argument?
