The iPhone data plan is the same $20 as the unlimited data plan I have with ATT right now, so that won't cost me any extra.

$650 for a Nokia N95 right now with no commitment, versus $600 (can't buy more memory later) for the iPhone with a two year commitment. The HTC S621 is $390 and the Nokia E62 is $300 - both unlocked. I have seen the iPhone for sale places other than Apple/ATT - for $800. Now then, which is cheaper?

Ktkxbye.

I'll be happy when the Kaiser arrives, or the Nokia N95 shows up over here, or I get lazy and just import. (Or I graduate and get a real job so I can afford a mobile solution)
Not familar with the Kaiser? Let me share with you!
WM 6, 128 system ram, wifi, full bluetooth, triband HSDPA and HSUPA, GPS, 3 megapixel camera, sweet flip up screen.

The iPhone has some serious shortcomings that I hope they rectify in future iterations.

You greatly underestimate edge. If you have full bars, it's just as fast as normal cable internet. Plus, there's wifi.

And i can't find a 16 GB SD card that is affordable. they cost like 300 bucks.

in response to 3, there are over 10,000 youtube videos on the iphone.

as i just said like 2 posts ago, the iphone HAS a keyboard, and works BETTER than physical (and cheezy) cell phone keyboards. Before you consider buying this "Kaiser", make sure that it has good battery life–3G is very battery inefficient.

and lastly, you did NOT consider the phone plan in the price. I'm comparing the bestselling smartphones with equal plans. Go to my other post and see that link.
