Hehe... I knew someone here would take the plunge... looking forward to your full review.
I'm on the wrong network, sucks... lol
My contract with Sprint just expired, but I just can't seem to get excited about spending $500-600 for the phone and at least $70/month for a plan. I will probably end up doing a 1 year contract on a cheap phone and see what prices are like in a year.Quote:

guess that means your not getting the top?
I spend more than that on my monthly bill, so $70 would actually be better for me. I will most likely wait until a 2nd generation one comes out too, then make the switch.Quote:

It looks slick. Enjoy. I heard a lot of negative stuff about the first Apple iTunes phone. But it has worked well for me. You can be the first to surf dfwmiata.com on an iPhone. :clap:Quote:

Hey Lava boy... better check your C.C. statement. :punchout:
You also know that if the battery goes out on that phone you have to pay to ship it to Apple so they can install the battery. Battery = $79 + shipping BOTH ways. Also you can rent another phone for $30 until your phone returns.....lol Good Job apple
There's no access to the battery?
That stinks...

My phone hasn't failed me since 2004... I'll stick with the stuff I can afford.
And I'll buy more RC planes and Miata parts with the money I saved :D

probably not, Apple loves to put in batteries you cannot take out
so far no problems here.
It's much worse than just no access. They soldered the battery's terminals into the board! No separable plug. I won't get into the whole "it's the greatest" vs "it's overpriced" argument, but I will say that's a poor bit of engineering. I think I know why they did it, they probably did it because they couldn't find an off the shelf separable plug small enough for the expected current, and just soldered it in instead. That's my guess anyways.Quote:

POS, true, but the iPhone battery is only figured to last 1 year
Who is doing the figuring?Quote:

One of the many reasons you never answer! ;)Quote:

A waiter at work bought one too, I got too play with it yesterday. It is a pretty cool little phone. Very slick how you can zoom in on a web page. I dont think I would have one for a long time. I dont think I would use it that much to make it worth the price.
Yeah, this makes me feel a little better
THIS made me feel better. :D
*seems the site was slashdotted, so it may be slow for a little while.
