As if the world needs yet another iPhone blog post, but I must say that I am super-excited. I’m definitely gonna get one and retire my old sucky razr. It’s timely since our AT&T contract is up this summer.
It’s always wise to skip 1st generation of a new product, and I’m glad I did. That’s not to say I was tempted. The 2nd generation adds 3G network and GPS. I’ve been putting off getting a GPS device for my new car. I can’t wait to see the many location-based applications that will be coming out. In fact, I might consider writing a few apps myself!
Most of all, I’m looking forward to lugging one single device. Oh yeah…
I’m tempted. But I don’t like the fact that ATT up’d the data rate $10. In 2 yrs (under which you’d be stuck in contract) they’d reap the $200 subsidy made to Apple on every sale of iPhone 3G and more. It’s pretty deceptive. I’d rather pay $400 upfront and keep the current pricing…
Exclusive deals suck, AT&T is trying to make $$ elsewhere. 2 yrs of $10 additional per month comes out to be $240, a delta of +$40 which is pretty insignificant over 2 years.
We’ll never say good deals until this exclusive deals between Apple & AT&T end. Unfortunately, that’s another 4 years!
