Re: $99 iPhone JUST released TODAY!!!
Free still would not be cheap enough for this POS phone. If you like toys get an iPhone, if you want a smartphone workhorse, get a Blackberry.

Re: $99 iPhone JUST released TODAY!!!
uhh are you sure the new iPhone cost $99? As I recall, the old iphone cost 99, the new one (3GS) starts at 199. Regardless you pay a lot more due to the monthly data plan fees.

Belive me, I'm a huge Apple supporter for all of their products, except for the iPhone. As a heavy business user, I find the iPhone just misses the mark for a business smart phone. If you just want to surf the net, play games. and listen to music, then go ahead and get the iPhone.

Re: $99 iPhone JUST released TODAY!!!
What exactly is the difference in this and the iPhone 3G? The compass looks kinda cool. I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen I wish it had a camera like the iPhone, that's the only feature its missing.  Did you know that you can use the iPhone or iPod Touch as a scanner while spotting, by using an ATC feed from the internet? Its a bit delayed but not by too much.

Re: $99 iPhone JUST released TODAY!!!
CORRECTION
The previous generation iPhone 3G is selling for $ 99 ... the NEWLY-released iPhone 3G (S) is $ 199 (for 8GB) and $ 299 (for 16GB).
Sorry for the confusion!

Re: $99 iPhone JUST released TODAY!!!
Three words why I spurned the iphone - Ay Tee & Tee. HORRIBLE customer service, while Verizon ranks as one of the best of any company in customer service.
LOVE my Blackberry Storm!

Can't argue with that logic ... I guess if you're not an Apple loyalist/fanatic like I am, it doesn't matter.
To be honest though, I did try out a Storm at our local Verizon store and found the interface highly NON-intuitive, and that's coming from a person who's used to poking around on his iPod Touch without any assistance. I'm sure the Storm's engineering is sound, but it's the GUI (graphical user interface) that I found very disappointing, and I was about to buy one for my wife and son (they had that 2-for-1 deal) and ended up getting the Blackberry Curve instead, because it had the QWERTY keypad which was more intuitive for my wife.
I really didn't like it though ... and I was trying it out for about half an hour!
