*****, *****, *****! I do have to admit that I enjoy bitching. I even like it when the forum **'s out all my bad words.

 

WHOA!!!! I was ok with the ***** but became extremely offended when the forum did not *** out the word bitching...

...that's bitching...

 

I have had an iPhone for a while now and have to say I love it.
I had been a long time Verizon customer and had to switch to AT&T for the iPhone. I too hate the fact that they charge extra for and limit the data plan and it's capabilities. By the way there is a way to use a "cracked" iPhone as a wireless,wifi modem for your computer on the 3G network.
The AT&T signals are weak or absent in some places that Verizon was great. Along a major highway I should not be with out service, I have seen it, rediculous! But, my AT&T service is actually better at my house than the Verizon service was. I am in the woods, bordering a state forest, go figure!!
Don't forget that Apple wants to put stuff out that works and works well, that is probably why the iPhones do not contain all the features the others do.
Can you process a credit card and print wirelessly on your network from the BBs? I admit I know nothing about BBs.

Oh and let's not forget that AT&T wants to charge you extra for texting on top of your iPhone data plan! Bunch of BS!!
And there is an app called "textfree.com" or freetext.com which can be used on the iPhone and not have any texting charges, if you use it right. I refuse to pay for texting when I am already paying for a data plan. Texting is just a "cash cow" for AT&T.

Keep waiting, because it won't happen within the next 5 years, yes the contract is up at the end of 2010, but they have already released more info on the iPhone 4g than the Storm 2, and its with AT&T. and to let most of you know that all you need is a AT&T packet from AT&T themselves to tether on your iphone, ive had it since i bought the iphone, I also no longer use any of my minutes on AT&T because i talk over the $30 a month data plan. The capabiities for the iPhone are almost endless. i write applications for the iphone/mac os x as well and apple gives you the ability to change alot through the phone, not as much as android but more than Blackberry does thats for sure.

 

actually the rumor is that the 4g iphonoe will be released on verizon...

 

That was the rumor last year, before the CEO's of apple and AT&T met to get an extension on the contract

 

Do you really think apple is going to release a CDMA phone for a company that is in the process of going to a gsm form of network???

 

4G = GSM

Verizon = GSM & CDMA

Verizon > AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.

 

show me your verizon iphone next year

 

oh i will... i hope. hahahahaha. all i know is **** AT&T. Verizon FTW!

 

well we all know verizon wishes they were AT&T as far as the iPhone is concerned

 

you guys should check into jailbreaking your phone and the program "installous"..

/waits for the flame bashing from the iphone software dev

 

unfortunately for me...until verizon goes 4G and GSM in the US...no jailbreak for me... though Verizon is GSM everywhere outside of the US.

 

I got my iPhone today I love it. Thanx for the app referals. I'm using it now for the first time online. I keep pushing the wrong button I'd imagine txting would be tough after a few drinks!

 

Oh trust me! You WILL get used to it.

 

if we are going to get into some Jailbreaking applications i can tell you the must haves.

1. Backgrounder(allows you to run any applications in the background like a Blackberry, for instance listening to music from Pandora(great app as well) while texting.
2. 3g unrestrictor this one is a MUST, you can download this app and bring your minutes down to the lowest you possibly can, because you will recieve and send all of your calls through your internet, which means you pay just a tad over 30 dollars a month(which is the internet price)
3.SBSettings is another good one, it allows you to add or subtract pretty much anything on your iPhone from your computer. its a nice one but may not be for everyone

 

Oh yeah i totally agree, i type faster on my iphone than i did on all of my blackberry's and my voyager

 

the program i was referring to "installous" allows you to install cracked applications, which enables all of the above to be free. i use this to try out the ones i'm unsure about (i.e high priced apps) and then purchase them if I like them that much (or.. just keep them on my phone )

 

those are free, you download them from cydia

 

but, dyno, rev, etc etc. are not.. hence my post
