iPhone Exclusive Deal w/ATT Appears to be for 2 Years, Not Five
And from an investment site (Motley Fool):
...a significant portion will switch to AT&T, as it is the only cellular service permitted to sell the iPhone for two years. Polls have shown that nearly 40% of those planning to buy the iPhone are not yet AT&T customers.
And from FOX News:
Apple has signed up top U.S. telecoms operator AT&T Inc. (T) in an exclusive deal for at least two years to sell the phone in the United States, where customers willing to sign a two-year contract are expected to pay $500 to $600 for a handset.

The big 8350 secret?
protection plan?
Why The Hype Worked
I got to play with the 8550
When you press the clear or Speakerphone button you get a nice vibration in the phone.
Directional pad is more i-pod like that you can actually roll your finger around it and move through the menus.
From what i can tell the UI is the same as previous choclates.
I think this ones going to be a keeper. π
Oh and by the way form factor is great. Very small. the spring action on the slide is very sturdy. and it has very rounded edges. Makes it nice to hold in your hand.

Hey all yall GZone Lovers

Of course it will only work with the Type S.

You've Been Able to Upgrade After 20 Months Since 6/1, but VZW Online Still Hasn't Gotten the Memo..
I check my account, and it still has the old 22 month upgrade date, even though its been policy that you can upgrade after 20 months on a 2-yr contract since June 1st.
What da heck? VZW really this slow to update accounts? π²
If this causes me any probs upgrading at the VZW Store, I'm gonna be pretty ticked. That would be the kind of silliness I'd expect from ATT or Radio Shack or something. βΉοΈ
Hope it isn't that bad.
Verizon's 2007 Mistakes??
1)Passing on the iPhone?
2)Not Buying Alltel? (although they are probably still for sale)
In reality, is Verizon's passing on the iPhone seems like a poor choice from a business stand point? So what Apple wants control and a peice of the profits from the monthly access.... the hype, free press, etc seems to be paying off even if it is mostly to Apple. Maybe Apple should have gone MVNO on Verizon's network instead. 500,000 customer in 48 would beat Amp'd growth rate.
AT&T bought another 1.7 million customers with the Dobson buyout. This helps AT&T hold on to that #1 Crown for another few years, but if VZW bought Alltel's 10 million.... AT&T would be 2nd that gap would be hard to close, even with the iphone.

Forget the iPhone - Verizon Introducing the oPhone
Stingy AT&T Spoiled the iPhone Party
Stingy AT&T spoiled the iPhone party

Much of the urban United States has enjoyed indoor toilets for some years now, and - Hallelujah! - thanks to Apple, it finally has a modern mobile phone, too.
While Apple shifted over 500,000 iPhones this weekend, its partner AT&T didn't keep its part of the bargain. And that's because it couldn't, a research note by DKIB today suggests.
Data congestion left the mobile operator red-faced, and buyers fuming. Because most of AT&T's network uses an ancient, time sharing 2.5G technology - placing the USA on a par with Cambodia and Sierra Leone - the data congestion impacted voice callers, too.
(Apple decided ag...
