Advice For iPhone Buyers

If you decide to buy one of these, there are a couple of recommendations you should take to heart.
First, don’t text or dial this phone while driving, and if you are a parent and buy your kid one of these, you should have a long talk about this. Unlike a phone with a keypad where you can “blind dial” (dial or text without looking at the phone), a touch screen doesn’t give good positional information, so you’ll want to look at this while using it. This is the fastest way I know to meet someone new on a road or freeway and forcibly move body and soul into his or her trunk. Do not actively use this phone while driving. You can use it to listen to tunes, but don’t manage your library either (just leave it on shuffle). Even answering a phone like this could be dangerous. Invest in a good cell phone headset like a Plantronics or Jawbone and use it to answer calls.

Buy a protective case like an Otterbox. With a glass screen and a metal case, this phone is incredibly fragile compared to other phones. Drop it and you’ll likely have phone pieces to remember your expensive phone by (and don’t forget, you have a two-year contract, so replacing it could cost upwards of $700, because you generally can’t subsidize a new phone until your old phone’s contract runs out).

Pick up a spare external battery like the Charge 2 Go Pocket Socket (once they have an iPhone adapter). This should keep you running when the non-replacable battery (you’d think Apple would change this policy after being successfully sued) in the phone goes south, either for the night or permanently.

Get AT&T phone breakage insurance. A metal phone, a glass screen, and a tile floor will likely not be happy together. Especially if you don’t get a case like the Otterbox mentioned above, buy the breakage insurance, because having to pay full price for a new phone on top of breaking your $500 wonder will be incredibly annoying.

Don’t leave this phone lying around. Devices like this are attractive to thieves, and if you leave it in plain view in your car, you are likely to lose a window and your phone. Keep it in a secure pocket or pouch, or leave it in a very safe place and make sure you know the process to make the phone useless to thieves.

Wrapping Up: Wait For Version 2

With a replacement for the iPhone already in the works and due before year’s end, let someone else buy the first ones, or at least wait a month or two for all of the problems to work their way out of the initial device. You really don’t want an iffy phone.

Remember, the first iPod sucked (mine, and a large chunk of the other initial products, broke within weeks of being sold), but follow-up products generally benefit from the knowledge gained with the initial products and become much better.

Remember the old saying, “Pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land”? You may want to be a settler rather than a pioneer with this one. Use the money to buy an LCD TV or other device that won’t be as risky as a generation-one technology product.

Answer 3

It is only available through AT&T and from what i've read, despite the high cost, they are already back-ordered based on the pre-ordered.
The phones are locked to the AT&T system, and apparently there is no software unlock, just a hardware application,so you cannot use them on another system.
The phones will cost between $500-600, plus the phone contract, PLUS a data plan. Over the two year basic contract, the phone will probably cost upwards of US$2000, before you make your first call, see your first video.
Also, it will have a glass screen, so it's very fragile, kids.

Answer 4

you cant get the phone that is for Cingular and use it for t- mobile. unless you get it unlocked which isn't easy to do. it is pretty much like hacking a phone. you have to switch to cingular if you want that phone. those phones are said to go fast so if you want it you should go to cingular and ask them if they could reserve one for you if they do that. not sure but no harm in trying.

Answer 5

Currently i dont think anyone really has a plan fo that phone because it just came out.. or is still about to drop on the market. just go to the apple store and ask them about it then contact your provider and see if they will make a plan for it.

Answer 6

its not out yet it comes out on june 29 2007

Answer 7

YOu need $600 and have to sign on with ATT.
