You just described Apple's iPhone price on AT&T's required 2 year data plan. Do your homework before you say people won't pay it. Clearly they are with the iPhone.]]>May 9th 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
Point being, AT&T buys the 8GB iPhones for $699 and 16GB for $799 and subsidizes them practically $500, or at least that's what two AT&T stores told me.]]>May 9th 2009 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
HOWEVER, AT&T, even if they are subsidizing the iPhone for you (which they certainly are) still isn't paying the full MSRP. They're probably paying something like $100 over your cost ($300), or at most double your cost. The early termination fee for AT&T is only around $350; if they were really paying a a $400 subsidy it would be substantially higher.]]>May 10th 2009 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
Those numbers are wrong. the insanely high contract-free price is just a way for AT&T to further profit. The consensus among the Apple rumor world is that AT&T is paying a $250-300 subsidy per iPhone, so the 8GB model would be ]]>May 10th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/

I always thought that Apple products were powered by the sweat that seeps from the pores of fanboys? Hmm.. Guess I was wrong.]]>May 9th 2009 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
Fellow Verizon subscribers, tell me, is there any reason to stay with them? I know, their service is terrific, but I really want something that can compare to the Pre, iPhone, or G1. There's NOTHING! The Blackberry is just a big block in my eyes with very little polish.

I've been loyal to the big red for 6 years, and I'm not a fanboy for any particular company. I just need phone advice. I can't keep using my piece of crap phone that's being held together by tape. Waiting until september is not an option.]]>May 9th 2009 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 9th 2009 10:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
You don't have to settle for crap just to get ok coverage. . .

At&t is the way to go, they have all the latest phones, and its GSM, so if they don't have a phone you like, then buy one that you do like that's unlocked.]]>May 9th 2009 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 9th 2009 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
I FEEL YOUR PAIN. My whole family is in the same boat waiting for a decent smartphone. Where we live AT&T has horrendous coverage, especially their 3G service, and I've been screwed by Sprint before and said I would never give them business again. So I'm stuck on Verizons admittedly excellent EVDO network.
For the moment, I have their Blackberry Curve 8330 and an iPod Touch combo thats gets me by. Although it is no Palm Pre or iPhone, the new Blackberry "Tour" 9600 should be out within the next 4-6 weeks and it is at least a decent replacement for the existing 8330 Curve.

I really don't want to believe all the talk about Apple waiting until the LTE rollout to create a Verizon iPhone --- I would be beyond overjoyed if S. Jobs trots out on stage in June with an EVDO iPhone! That said, I know Apple is stubborn as hell when it comes to their business practices, but at the same time it just doesn't make ANY business sense to ignore the 135 million CDMA customers in the United States, especially since the USA represents over 50% of total global iPhone sales... Guess we'll have to wait and see!

apple is ignoring the CDMA crowd because not only is it hella expensive to create a new phone model with a completely different cellular structure. but if they create only a CDMA phone they are alienating not 50 million verizon customers, but the billions of gsm/wcdma customers WORLDWIDE


it's so apparent you want an iphone, (bb and touch? ok) i've had att (since it was cellular one then cingular and now att) for 10 years and it had a few growing pains when they rolld out gsm, but since then it's been great. you might wanna take a test drive of their network again....you may be surprised]]>May 10th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/APPLESUXBALLZ!!!]]>May 9th 2009 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 9th 2009 11:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
Get real people...sometimes what sounds too good to be true, usually is...and this one looks like a pig, smells like a pig and has lipstick on it...and several people are going to buy this one hook, line and sinker...just to discover, they bought a real pig. OINK! OINK!]]>May 9th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
Just be careful of the 5GB cap Verizon stupidly puts on your usage. But at least they cut the overrage fee down from $250 per GB to $50 per GB with the MiFi...after charging you $12 per GB for the first 5GB of usage. How nice of Verizon to do that. Just more proof, companies like Verizon and AT&T should not be in the 3G data card business. They do not know what they are doing and they are ripping off the public with overrage penalties.]]>May 9th 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
AT&T will only have a chance to improve in their data department when they can improve their network to areas beyond the cities. At least I can use Verizon and Sprint in rural areas with 3G coverage...AT&T is EDGE where Verizon and Sprint is broadband.

I guess it all depends why you bought your phone in the first place. For me, a dropped call is a lost sale and money out of my pocket. For others, well, they might as well have purchased their AT&T phones at Toys R Us they way they expect to use them...that is why I bought an iPod Touch with all of the money I saved from Verizon from not having dropped calls.]]>May 10th 2009 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/May 10th 2009 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/09/verizons-hp-mini-1000-due-to-launch-may-17th/
