So who is more dependable between Sprint and AT&T for making calls/sending texts in Chicago? The Googles machine doesn't really help me with this one.

Everyone seems to hate Sprint, but that's the service on my FLIP PHONE and I've never had any problems.

I've had Sprint for like 6 years and haven't had a problem.  Even when other people don't have a signal, I'm sexting away.

Then again, you bought a 300 dollar phone that has like 4 hours of battery life without doing the research first, so your opinion is....???

Not making a 64G (or larger) iPhone is stupid.

While I admire your stick-poke, what he gave there is not technically an opinion.

I was looking for "...is as valid as the next man's!!" but this'll suffice.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

The new iPhone looks great.

Second article says $200.00 for 16gb model. Gil thinks that's with the AT&T Subsidy.. I'm hoping not. So my question: Can I preorder that one with no upgrade discount for $200?

$199 is the subsidized price with a two-year contract.  (Without a contract it's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $500.)  As long as your upgrade date is in 2010, AT&T will let you have it.

Yea, I got my Blackberry Bold 9700 in November. I think AT&T waits 20 months for upgrades, so I'm a year away from that.. Shit. For $400, I'll consider it.. $500's pushing my nuts a little, but women do sleep with a man with an iPhone more frequently..

This is from an MSNBC story.

Quote$400 more without contract
According to the memo, both the iPhone 3G, released in 2008, and the iPhone 3GS, released last summer, will sell for full price: $499 for the 8-gigabyte 3G model, $599 for the 16 GB 3GS and $699 for the 32 GB iPhone 3GS. Those prices are $400 more than if the devices are purchased through AT&T with a contract and a subsidy.

Well, I may be in "luck"



I could qualify for the second, so $400?.... Time to start working some extra hours so I don't feel so bad about it.

So is anyone getting the Evo? Seems like a much cheaper option than the iphone.
Would be interested in a review if so.

Though, to be fair, TDubbs just asked the shoutbox what 4G is and why he has to pay $10 a month for it.

So... grain of salt.

Gawker must have had a raging hardon for this story after the whole, we-got-caught-buying-stolen-property thing.  Apple contends it's unclear whether the phone was actually lost, or stolen, so their wording is interesting:

QuoteThe breach, which comes just weeks after an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in a bar, exposed the most exclusive email list on the planet, a collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers that includes thousands of A-listers in finance, politics and media, from New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson to Diane Sawyer of ABC News to film mogul Harvey Weinstein to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It even appears that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's information was compromised.

It doesn't stop there. According to the data we were given by the web security group that exploited vulnerabilities on the AT&T network, we believe 114,000 user accounts have been compromised, although it's possible that confidential information about every iPad 3G owner in the U.S. has been exposed. We contacted Apple for comment but have yet to hear back. We also reached out to AT&T for comment. A call to Rahm Emanuel's office at the White House has not be returned.

That whole bit sounds fishy too.

QuoteApple's Worst Security Breach: 114,000 iPad Owners Exposed

Lede:

QuoteApple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the wireless-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

From paragraph five:

QuoteThe slip up appears to be AT&T's fault at the moment, and it will complicate the company's already fraught relationship with Apple.

It's amusing to see them report "another embarrassment" when their very company was largely at fault for the one they're citing.
