after waiting forever, the iphones have dropped in price again... $99 for an 8g or $199 for a 16g...
I'm leaning towards the 8 for the price, but, really I'm not sure how much songs, pictures, etc it can hold....any body know?

8 GB = 2000 song/videos or apps.

oh well, crap, thats more than enough for me. Thanks. Do you have an iphone? I've heard that a lot of the apps can cause the phone to go on the fritz. Do you know if the apps are free, or do you have to pay for them (one time, monthly, etc)?

Actually Yes. I can move this WITH my iPhone, since I can get online with it and it is the REAL internet, not some bastardized Mobile Version of it.

You're going to pay more than $100 or $200 for one with the plan.

IPhone is what retards say when they make a phone call
That is a little inappropriate.

Spring for the 199! You never know when your fart app might come in handy and there's no excuse for not having enough room.

I would love to get an iPhone but At&T has such crappy service in my area. I have Verizon and really like their service, but the iPhones are so sweet. I've heard Apple and Verizon are in talks again since At&T's exclusive contract runs out next year, I hope they become available. I have an LG Voyager and I like it, but it's just not sleek enough and the touchscreen can't hang with an iPhone. My roommate moved from Texas to Tennessee and he recently had to give up his iPhone and change to Verizon because he can't get service here.

I have Verizon as well and I'm due for a new phone next February but I believe my contract ends in June of next year.
If Apple jumps on Verizon, I'll wait, however if I hear that it's signing on to AT&T for longer, I'm probably going to jump on the Pre.

I think it was be a huge mistake staying exclusively with At&T. My roomate couldn't get picture messaging on his iPhone...that's crazy. Does At&T have a picture messaging? Can anyone with an iPhone or At&T here confirm this?

That's insane. My roomates bill was over $100 a month too. Apple has to realize the worst thing about the iPhone is At&T.
And do you love your monthly bill?
It's not that bad, I pay about $80 a month, but I've had AT&T for over 5 years, and my original contract is at a much cheaper price for a ton of minutes, and AT&T can't do anything about it. Muwhahaha!
Actually, I bought my Girlfriend an iPhone and she pays less now than she did at Sprint. Even with the Data Plan for the iPhone.

It does not currently have MMS, but will later this summer when AT&T wakes the **** up and allows the US Market to do so.

How much did you girlfriend used to pay at Sprint? I have Sprint and I pay less than $40 a month for my plan. I'd love to get iPhone but their monthly rate is just too expensive for me.
I don't know, I just remember when she got her first bill, she said it was less.

Some are free, some you have to pay for. It depends on the Developer.

I thank the iPhone for waking me up to Apple. I never understood it until I actually tried it.

I was def guilty of that this year. I just wish I'd know the specs of the "new" iPhone last month when I was shopping for phones cuz I'd have just gotten an "old" one.

iPhones that are "jailbroken" to kick out AT&T and are able to be used on other Networks. Some people have iPhones, and Verizon or Sprint service.

If I can find the time Friday after court I think I have decided I'm gonna get one.

Mine comes to 77 dollars and thats with unlimited evenings, 500 daytime, unlimited texts, voicemail, data plan, phone insurance and pretty much everything that you could get
My friend dan doesn't have the insurance and he pays about 65
It's really not that bad? I dont know, my old phone bill was 50ish and it was a piece of ****, so I feel like this is worth it

Not to derail the thread (but hey, its my own, i can do what i want!), i gotta point this out.
This is an entirely untrue, yet often quoted line belched out by Macintosh in an effort to relate to the "young" and "hip". Macs are no better than PCs for art programs (photoshop, illustrator, flash, the whole dame adobe creative suite). What makes a certain computer "better" is not the computer, but the person using it. I went to college for media art and animation and throughout my collegiate career (and the last 4 years of professional work) have used both Mac and PC. The verdict? The programs ran great on each and I never had a complaint on the quality of work (nor did I ever make a complaint saying "this computer sucks for art and design!").
In short, you don't "need" a Mac. You just want one.
Rant over.
