ya know.... i think that the whole iphone thing is nothing more than an tech icon and a fad. don't get me wrong, it's a good product for what it can do, but if you walk up to the normal person who owns one, ask them if they can tether with their phone? most will respond.... what's a tether?
ask them how much those extra apps "really" cost... ask them what their monthly bill is with at&t...
then ask them what they do with it... most will say... oh, i text, surf, and make calls.
ok.... well gee... my omnia does all that & more. it's all about advertising and what the "cool kids" think that "they want" just to be popular.
