No sorry, i took the information from the manufacturer web sites, so they didnt have the contract information. I also didnt say I hated the iphone, I said that ATT charges way too much, and that in some areas coverage is not very good. In my area, ATT has 3g all over.

Cheers,

Matt

Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

[quote=drift365;1062322]If you jailbreak, you get all of those, minus the screen, without risking losing the contract.

You might want to actually try it before you quote it as fact. The "backgrounder" application of which you speak is crap. It doesnt work with all apps, and only works sometimes. I've seen it in action, and the guy that had it removed it from his iturd because it didnt work lol. Jailbroken iphones make it "harder" for at&t to catch you tethering, not impossible, so it doesnt fix that either. I also doubt jailbreaking is gonna bring it to a cdma network.

Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

I bought an iphone to play with... i unlocked it to tmobile (i know no 3G), and to tell you the truth, the novelty wore off really quick..

its fun for games and some apps yes, but after i jailbroke it and installed a bunch of 3rd party apps and themes, the phone started slowing down... for a phone that doesn't fully multitask, that depressed me.

The iphone makes usability extremely simple. The UI is just a bunch of icons, which gets boring after a while. And sure you can change it up with some themes, but honestly, its all the same (like the vista theme uses "clear" icons to make it seem like you have a desktop look).

IMHO if i were dumb enough to be in contract with ATT (the Sh*ttiest company, service-wise, aside from T-mobile) I'd probably have an iphone...

The iphone coming to Verizon next year is the best move crapple could make in the cellular industry.

The next iphone (the 3GSF) is gunna have a FLASH FOR THE CAMERA! NO WAAAY! Thanks Apple for giving us something you could have added 3 years ago! (they might not even add that, who knows)

Anyways, as you can see, i have mixed feelings on the iphone.

Please read the entire thread before saying things like that. Early we spoke of the iphone going to verizon in january. There is also a way to convince verizon to give you a special sim card, that will allow it to work on their towers. I am not sure if this will work, nor if it will work for any other service. I didnt say it made it impossible.

Cheers,

Re: WOW the iphone is fast!

I must say yes. I cant believe it took apple that long to give us basic features. It upsets me, it does. But not enough to leave all of the good things behind.

Cheers,

Matt

So if I lie and make up some story about my job switching providers or something I "might" be able to convince Verizon to give me a sim card that would make my iphone work on their network maybe. Yeah, I read that. That also doesnt change the fact that "backgrounder" doenst make the iphone multitask, or the fact that jailbreaking doesnt make you uncatchable when tethering.

the special sim is crap... there will be a cdma radio built in.. wtf you think verizon customers want a "special" sim?? That won't change the radio frequencies, it'll just let you use crappy ATT towers, blah. People have Verizon for a reason, the coverage. U know, the thing people complain about ATT most (atleast where i live, Chicago area).
