Nick that's exactly what I'm saying....Apple was adamant that NO discounts be given. Actually you HAVE to do a 2 year agreement to get that price lol.

I think it's a good idea though. Just like Apple did with the iPod they made it so that the price was the same across the board. That way people don't have to worry about being ripped off at one place when they could have gotten a better deal somewhere else.

Oh and a sidenote: The iPhone will ONLY BE SOLD at Apple Stores and CORPORATE at&t stores....Meaning don't expect yer buddy who works at the mall kiosk to be able to get u the hookup lol

Does anyone know if you will be able to use AIM/Yahoo/MSN on this? Since its supposed to be running the full blown Mac OS X and not a mobile version I dont see why this cant be done

Supposedly at this point the phone doesn't support iChat/IM programs which is fuckin LAME...Hopefully a 3rd party program will make it possible
Im sure IChat will be available some time down the line....as long as I got that Im set......Apple is supposedly going to support the phone with significant updates over the next 2 years and IChat is a must....till then Im sure you can use AIM express??

Another question I was wondering.....it boasts that it supports the real internet so does that mean you can see flash based content on it?

wait 6 months first. price will go down, as it does with every cell phone, remember the RAZR cost 600 when it first came out? now theyr'e free or 70 bucks on craigslist.
and i bet they'll work out all the bugs and put a better battery in it too.

word has it that flash will be supported for websites


and since the phone will be hard to get, don't plan on the price going down in 6 months....Look at the Wii...Now think about how many MORE people are in to cell phones as opposed to gaming systems.

And as far as iChat, at&t hasn't crippled the phone. Keep in mind that Apple is the one making it. 100% of at&t's phones support IM programs at this point so it was obviously Apple's decision.

Im just gonna get a Helio Ocean instead.

Not as good, but its got everything I need(keyboard with messaging capabilities and 2.0 megapixel camera.)

Paying that amount for a phone is ridiculous. YOu could just get an mp3 player and any other smart phone for half the cost.

I'm not even gonna pick up the helio till the price drops a bit. Just stick with my pre-paid shit till then.
