Sprint won't offer you a SERO plan now either.

I am a Mac guy myself. but i can not own an iPhone especially the new one. I would end up home less paying for the plan. Isnt over $100 for a plan with unlimited texts? I have unlimited everything except minutes (1000 anytime) and insurance, for around $50/month. if att come anywhere close to that i would consider. it is annoying having a winblows phone and and then my beautiful macbook. syncing and compatibility issues are quite a nuissance. thank god for bluetooth.

honestly the 2.0 update for the iPhone is incredible. you dont know squatt about mobile gaming until you play Monkeyball on an iPhone. I want an iPhone just for that. lol.

I agree that the plan price sucks. That is the biggest reason why I had doubts. However the price/coverage ratio is worth it to me especially with my job. I have gotten in trouble not returning missed calls simply because sprint's coverage wasn't that great.

I actually think that Verizon is even better than AT&T coverage wise in the US, but AT&T is great overseas. Great for a pilot

Now I do get 19% discount through US Airways, so it helps a bit, but you're right it is at least twice as much per month compared to my old sero plan.

Is it worth it? I didn't thnk so at first, but after I see how many features I use on the iPhone and how much mobile browsing I do compared to my touch. Phewwww I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Just my $.02

Just jailbreak it. i found out today that good ol' apple pulled a sprint/htc move and disabled some features of the phone. once you jailbreak your iPhone you can have zoom and video, but i believe its only :20 seconds at a time.

So right out of the box you can't transfer video files from your computer to it? If that's the case then that's my deciding factor to just wait for the X1

No I meant no video recording, just pictures, it does indeed record video up to 30 seconds if you jailbreak it, but I posted the negatives before you start messing with it.

I'm sure they will come out with something soon that increased the recording opertunity

What video transfer concerns, I just watch hi def comparison of Minority report on my iPhone.
