Almost As Good As Chocolate: iPhone… still…

  • Krishna · 1 year ago
    Apple doesn't really sound like a company that gives a crap about its consumers now, does it? Why not just wait for an open platform (say Android or Linux)? That way you're not tied to a monopolistic entity that can disable or screw-up your phone at will. You don't have to approach every "upgrade" or "bug fix" (let's face it that's what most of these upgrades are- security fixes) with trepidation?

    By the time a stable, established fix is out there, Android should have gone Gold

    No, Apple doesn't care much about its users. I use the products because they are the best designed products out there. Hopefully the unlock will be upgrade resistant like the unlock of the 2G phone :)

    Android... hmm... so far from reality still. Let's see how it goes.

    You can buy an unlocked iPhone in Italy, but at an extortionary price (499 and 569 Eur... yes, Eur!) Not a great deal one way or the other.

    @LivePaola... yikes. Yes, I think I am destined to wait. Either till the iPhone Dev Team unlocks it or till 2010 when the ATT contract expires.
