6/27 Update: From this article: On the data side, it works through AT&T's Edge network, which is pokey compared with third-generation, or 3G, data networks used with other phones. At times, I fell off the Edge and lost coverage. Even at its best, Edge never felt close to the broadband-type speeds I experience on my home network. Assuming Apple gets around to supporting 3G in the future, you'd ultimately have to buy a new 3G-capable iPhone for improved network performance, not that Apple is ready to announce one.
04/16 Update: Guess I couldn't wait a few years for the iPhone to move into my price range. So I bought one of these (Motorola Q) last month and have been very happy with it. Syncs seamlessly to Outlook, put a free bible on it, has a nice MP3 player and generally seems to be just what I was looking for. And I got a deal by renewing with Sprint. Color me connected :)
01/29: Verizon Turned Apple iPhone Down
01/11: Don't want to spend the $$$ for iPhone. Anyone have a recommendation for a low-cost PDA/phone?
Do you have a cellphone deal already? If so, see what kind of an upgrade you can qualify for. That can often get you a better deal on the device itself.
ReplyDeletemy bosses all use Blackberry's and love them.
ReplyDeleteThis phone is very cool, but I would not pay for one either. But man, is it cool. Did I mention it's a cool phone?
Congratulations! This is one of those cool toys that I want to get at some point, but will have to wait on. I just recently (in the past year) upgraded to a razor phone, so I figure at that rate the iPhone will be about six years in my future!
ReplyDeleteCool toy, Bob! My cell is a plain 'ol Nokia...no bells, whistles. I like it that way. I can access my email if I want, and I'm happy! :-)
