Well being a Cingular customer and I'm due for an upgrade, I may look into one. Anybody know anything about the charges for Cingular EDGE service?

being a long time nextel user for atleast 10 years I know its time for a change cause of sprints drop of nextel.

I will be seriously considering the Iphone but I dont care as much as cost of the phone but the service I will get going threw Cingular.

If the Iphone does half of what the Ipod did for mp3 players then I consider the buy in for me to be a great upgrade over my nextel i930,,

hoping and waiting

i meant a phone easy to use like the ipod did/does..my i930 takes me 5mins to send a text and that ain't fly with the honeys no-more..not to mention I get text messages like 2 hours after the person sent it....arr


I got one last night "Billy call me i am at the bar..we go out afterwards.."

my bar closes at 4am and I got the text at 5:30am...

Nextel was great then sprint came along, so I need to switch and I think the Ip is for ME

Not at the initial price, no. I just used my upgrade to move into a Blackberry 8800, which is fine for me. The iPhone doesn't have any features the 8800 is missing (that I would use anyway). It (the iPhone) has a camera and wifi, 2 things I just don't understand needing in a phone, the 8800 has GPS, and I actually use that. I went over the decision many times, but the 8800 was just a better fit for me.

Edit: on the EDGE plans, don't quote me but rumor mill has it that Cingular/AT&T will require a $30/month add on for the iPhone data (unlimited usage).

I don't like the aspect ratio, apparently it isn't full-widescreen. That said, it does look cool, but the price is definitely gonna be a putoff. (they're saying $600 with 2-yr agreement...)

My current plan is to resist being an earlier adopter, wait for price to come down a bit, for bugs to be sorted out, then buy in '08.

That said, I think it will be a screaming success.

Technically, Iphone is not impressive. o2 is more advanced

maybe if it was on t-mobile or verizon. It's known that AT&T/cingular isn't very great

Depends where you live. Over here, verizon and cingular are considered the best providers. (in regards to reception)

I'm still happy with my Nokia N80, though the N95 is p-i-m-p.

I'd be more interested if it had a hard drive.

I was excited about it and genuinely considering it until I found out it was Cingular-only. Interest dropped to zero. I'll wait until the price drops and someone finds out how to hack it for Verizon users.
