BIG mistake there. HUGE. The Sidekick crowd might have migrated over, but now they're staying put. And after the app disappointment, I'd think most business men would want to stick with palm and windows os.

So, this is really for the ipod enthusiasts.]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 15th 2007 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 14th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/PDA is for dorks,

The second issue will be the EDGE network, it's not really a huge issue for me because I wasn't planning on getting an expensive data plan, but it would be nice to know IF I wanted to I could. Right now I see myself using it as a phone 1st then a MP3 player second. ]]>Jun 14th 2007 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 14th 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 14th 2007 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 14th 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/Jun 14th 2007 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/iphone-on-sale-6pm-local-time/
This manager revealed that distribution materials that are now reaching stores clearly state users must purchase data plans to buy iPhones. In fact, he said the iPhone will come with a unique contract that doesn’t exist for any other phone AT&T sells…which could be good or very, very bad.

Though Steve Jobs clearly stated the the connectivity dependence of the iPhone will focus on WiFi and Blu-tooth, visual voicemail, Google Maps, or any of the other main features will be available only through a contractual AT&T data plan.
Though this might not sound bad, prices on iPhone plans have yet to be released; I, for one, am constantly immersed in the world of WiFi, nearly everywhere I go…a data plan (for the actual data transfer capabilities) would be a complete waste of money. I don’t want to be locked into a 2 year data package when I use WiFi constantly…but apparently it isn’t an option.

This is how AT&T will make back all the money they aren’t making on selling the iPhone itself. Though WiFi will be complimentary, users will be forced to buy a plan they don’t necessarily need to use all the features of the iPhone. Get out your checkbooks, because the iPhone’s $599 pricetag is just a scratch on the surface of how much you will be paying.

Expect a hybrid phone service/data plan at a moderate rate that cannot be discontinued without a serious fee…by locking the data plan and phone service plan, AT&T will ensure users cannot drop the EDGE network and attempt to use WiFi cingularly.""

Need say more?

9. Being Expensive as hell
10. No physical keyboard
