Ok so I had just got the Wing from T-mobile and the phone was sick but the service SUCKED! So I returned that s*** and was debating buying an iPhone. What do you guys think? Heard anything about em good or bad? Any info would help thanks.

I would rather have an iPhone than my HTC Mogul... so yes... get the iPhone if its expenses are reasonable. Although I don't think AT&T's service is any better than T-Mobile's. In fact, I think T-Mobile is actually BETTER than AT&T. But it just depends on your area. I've heard of some cellphone shops selling unlocked iPhones that work on other GSM networks.

i really enjoy the iphone. Â*jailbreak or download the installer on the iphone and it really becomes amazing. Â*i have alot of stuff and the installer allows you to download software wirelessly like NES and much more.

Hmm does the mess up the iPhone in anyway? Can you make your music files a ringtone?

get an iPhone and jailbreak it. done...good stuff. phone is so much better after its unlocked for applications. i would not recommend unlocking it for use on other networks...its really a PITA to wait for updates to be hacked so you can have an updated phone.

nope, it is fine. i've been running the installer for a while and i have not had any problems. Stick with AT&T. Visual voicemail, edge, and any other features work fine on AT&T. i dont know how t-mobile would respond.

I have a friend that bought it from a store for almost 50% off with their service plan that definitely wasn't AT&T... internet works just fine and what not.

Still haven't been able to play the iPod part on my car's Pioneer AVIC Z1 unit.
I never did the jailbreak but I'm very happy with the iPhone so far.
Highly recommend the phone. O0

I love my iPhone. Worth every penny! The only thing it won't do is hook up (be recongnized) to my cars iPod hookup. I have the Alpine i-Pod interface with my Alpine head unit. Kind of a bummer but whatever... I just use my Nano for the car.

I hope when something is offered that some one will post it. Can't believe Apple didn't figure this one out before they released the iPhone?

The iPhone but not for complex tasks, which browsing the internet seems to be. There is no way I can stand the EDGE network that ATT has. My friend has an iPhone and the internet is to slow for my liking. Paying the extra fees every month to get "broadband like speeds, which really aren't broadband like speeds" seems rediculous to me. I have verizon and have had several pdas. The EVDO network both by sprint and verizon blows the ATT/Cingular network away. If you need a phone that has some good options and programs but with a below average customer service and broadband speeds, IMO, go with the iPhone, if you are in need of a fast internet for your daily tasks whether it being for work or personal use, I'd go with a network with EVDO.

I love my iphone.

Does it strike anyone else as completely fukin stoopid that Apple only has a deal with AT&T for this phone? Isn't that like throwing money away? :idiot2:
I mean, did AT&T really pay the difference to Apple to have the iphone exclusively?

Also, as far as phone reception goes, don't all companies just pay to use all the same towers?? (In other words, it's not about who has the "most bars" or the "biggest network") Kinda like how all gas comes from the Shell Oil Company's refinery. lol

Let's see if I can find a picture to sum all this up...

im sure att payed a grip to get the exclusive contract, its in their interest to pay a shitload to apple and get everyone to switch to their company and lock them into a 2 year contract. Over the long run im sure their making more then what they payed to apple.

From what i was told by a tmobile person is that the iphone is coming to USA Tmobile in about a year but, if you really want it you can buy a tmobile iphone in germany and it'll work here in the states.........If there's any truth behind this I have no idea but if it is......it needs to hurry the f up!

it will not be here for t-mobile in a year or anytime soon. and it was apple that went to att with the exclusivity agreement. they went to verizon first and verizon turned them down because they didnt want to meet apples demands. att agreed to apples exclusivity terms. i think apple gets something like 15 dollars per month out of every contract signed up through them to use the iphone. and no cell phones dont share the same towers unless the cellphone company is buying its airtime from a company that has its own towers. like what helio is doing. or like the agreement between cingular and tmobile when tmobile started over here. tmobile used cingular cell cites here and cingular used tmobile cell sites on the east coast. but since then cingular sold its network to tmobile and used that money to purchase and upgrade atts more powerful gsm network. sharing cell sites between incompatible cdma and gsm networks does not work well.

sorry im too lazy right now to read all the posts..but I love my ipHone. Now, its super easy to hack 1.1.1 just visit www.jailbreakme.com on your iphone's safari, scroll down and touch "INSTALL" and youre pretty much jailbroken. The only programs that are really awesome are Mobile Chat (AIM/MSN), Voice recorder, Netflix App, iRadio App, Nikotakie, SendSong and Customize, not to mention the invalable Maps, Safari, Camera and Music player which come stock. O0 Anyone debating whether to get it, I'd say go and get one right now, you won' regret it...unless Apple comes out with an Iphone2 or something.

The only things this phone lacks is a Flash Player and 3G Internet speeds...but that doesn't bug me cause I still have my regular computers for that.

Here's a list of the 3rd party apps so far...

http://iphone.exploit.org/pxl/

I used iBrickr and that was cool, but now the computer isn't even needed, you can mod and add/delete apps directly from your iphone. O0
