My elementary school algebra says that
1million / 4million
is
ONE IN FOUR - not one in three as claimed by Engadget.

A quarter of iPhones are not with AT&T - lucky fellows!
Recently AT&T CHARGED me for using the EDGE network - was it not supposed to be free?
I am now restricted to my college's WiFi only and NO EDGE - iPhone will surely lose the edge when Nokia N95 with S60 comes out with FULL INTERNET WITH FLASH - unlike the iPhone's BABY INTERNET.

I used to be a Macintosh Addict. I went to Rehab after the MacWorld!

Yes, there is a kickback from AT&T to Apple for each phone sold.]]>Jan 25th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/Jan 25th 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/
I've tried looking it up and I can't find anything.

So again I ask why the hell is the iPhone exclusive to AT&T?

And why is everyone so amped about this 3G iPhone when apparently both Verizon and Apple are working on 4G phones that will come out in 2009 or something?]]>Jan 25th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/Jan 25th 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/

Oh my god... tell me you didn't pay to get out of a cell phone contract to switch to AT&T for the iPhone... cuz that's the kind of bitterness I taste from your post!

Then, at some point, management at the Apple Store 5th avenue started shouting out that they will no longer accept Gift Cards for the iPhones or cash.

I don't consider myself "elite" for having an unlocked iPhone, but I consider myself a smart consumer for doing so.]]>Jan 25th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/Jan 25th 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/
However I'm only paying $6 for the T-Zones unlimited plan and it's not any different than the $20 web plan. I did have to add one extra APN file that took a whole five extra minutes.

I guess that makes me an even smarter consumer. ;)

Yes, My rate is the $39.99 MyFaves. 90% of all my minutes go to those five people anyways, so the 300 whenever minutes are never exceeded. My internet is at $20 grandfathered at the old rate (now $30) and I get corporate discounts through the Navy. (until just recently, these obviously weren't offered). So, after fees and everything, I am paying roughly $65/month.

For me to switch to AT&T, I would have to cancel my T-Mobile account, costing me a $175 termination fee, and apply for an AT&T account ($200 deposit plus applicable application fees). and I get 450 minutes. I use more minutes than that in a month, but since it's limited to the five people, The T-Mobile plan makes more sense.

Warranties are practically useless to me, since I habitually take care of my electronics anyways.

Also, AT&T currently does not offer the inclusion of WiFi with their iPhone plans, whereas T-Mobile does. This is a big factor when i travel.

Updates? I have 1.1.2 right now. Granted, i have to wait for the open source community to create the workaround, but I still get the updates.

And the number one factor: customer service. AT&T is consistently ranked among the lowest (if not the lowest) for customer service. On the other hand, T-Mobile is on the opposite end, being among the top (or being the top) in customer service.

And finally, what was the point of your post, were you trying to make me feel guilty for doing what I did? Because I can guarantee you that anyone who has gone the path of unlocking and using the iPhone on another carrier feels absolutely no guilt for doing so, or else they would simply be AT&T customers and not know any different.]]>Jan 25th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/25/are-one-in-three-iphones-sold-being-unlocked/
If they because a phone supplier to any network that can handle the technology (damn you Sprint CDMA) they would have hit their 10 million unit mark already!

Too bad they decided a piece of the subscriber pie was the way to go...so sad for you APPL!

Over 4 Million sold, but how many actually activated on the blue n white "death star" network? Anyone care to a guess at a number? I'll take the first crack at it:
- 1.4 mil?
