But I was not interested in that thin, heavy Apple product, it felt (still does) like a cold slab of lead weighing me down and hooking me aboard a ship that would sail away from freedom of choice for a situation essentially dictated by one man. And though my Vogue was going at top dollar ($250), I just couldn't wait. And even though it eventually became available for free (with new contract), I feel like I got my money's worth, and then some, 'cuz it continues to be my choice above all the new phones being released.
Soo Sweet! I still feel great about my own one year down the road. Actually, I like it so much I got two spares

Very well said about Apple and loss of freedom... No wonder users who feel stifled have invented the term 'jailbreak' for the act of liberating their iPhone...

In Canada few people realize the Vogue (aka the 'Touch') is one of the rare phones that still offers, on Bell, true Unlimited Internet browsing at the 'bargain basement' [at least for Canadians] price of $10 a month...
