Since the announcement of the Apple iPhone, the tech community has been a buzz with chatter. I saw one of the TV Ads the other day and got a little excited (read into that what you will). The phones are set to be available on June 29th, a mere 24 days away! I have to think that this will change the mobile phone business in some form. Probably not in the way that the iPod effected the music business, but I am sure it will change for the better.
There are drawbacks however. Mainly that the phone will be limited to use with the AT&T wireless service. A lot of people currently tied to contracts with other services will be wondering if it's worth it. Is it worth the cost of the current termination penalty? I think I pay $150 with T-Mobile, PER LINE (I have 3 lines!) Maybe I can finagle the deal to leave my wife & daughter on T-Mobile while I head over to iPhone bliss? Even if that's possible, the low end model of the iPhone is $499. That's a lot of green backs! Plus general service costs, etc. I can be looking at nearly $1000 to make the move.
Let's see... Overhaul my motorcycle... Or new iPhone??? Which one will turn more heads? Probably the iPhone.
When they do come out, I will probably sit and wait a few months so that any glitches, and there will be glitches, can hopefully get worked out. If you are one of the wild ones, and feel like sharing, please let me know how you like the phone. I am very interested to see how this one turns out!
