iPhone 3G Finally Available In US Contract-Free
Engadget is reporting that the iPhone 3G is finally available contract-free if you are willing to pay a much higher premium. Without a contract consumers are looking at $599 for an 8GB model and $699 for the 16GB. AT&T has the added restriction that you must be an existing AT&T customer, but Apple (retail stores only, sorry) will sell one to anyone willing to pay the premium. This change brings the model much closer to the prevailing European model where phones are sold as hardware and the plans are handled completely separately.
The contracts WERE in order to subsidize the cost of the phone... and the whole time I thought it was so they could lock me in and deliver shitty service. But seeing that the phone is $400 more without a contract pretty much proves what the cell phone companies have been saying all along.
To me, this product from Samsung is better in every way compared to the latest iphone.
Well you know that Sham-Wow is made in Germany and Germans always make great stuff!
Don't kid yourself. It's the size of the regexp AND how you use it that counts.
Do you have any idea how much elves and pixie dust cost these days? It's not like you can just pick them off trees, you know.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
