Re: how will the new data plans affect the new iphone

Heck, I"m still learning about things when it comes to android. I'm continually amazed at what you can do with it since it's OPEN source. To me that makes a huge difference. Rather than Jobs telling you what you can and can't do, you have the developers over at XDA and SDX cooking up all sorts of stuff.

It really just comes down to what kind of user you are in the end. If you just want your phone to work and don't care about customizing and tweaking, I say get the Iphone or Blackberry. It's one of the main reasons why I love my macbook. It just works. But when it comes to cellphones, I'm a ppc geeker at heart and like to customize and customize some more.

But back to the original point. The new Iphone has all these nice features but they don't have the network to back it up. The new tiered data pricing plan is a farce and I feel sorry for people who buy into it.
but that's the thing, you CAN customize and tweak iOS more than you think, as an example, check out this nice android htc sense theme. That's just one example, you could change the icons, the clock icons, the wallpaper, all the sounds etc...you just have to know. I think it's just as bad to try to fit in the iBashing crowd as it is to be in the iFan crowd. Most beef seems to just be with ATT , not the phone.

My only point is know what you're talking about before you go bashing things (not you personally, I mean in general)
