Have you guys heard about this iPhone thing?

Good overview/review of the iPhone by Walter Mossberg..
I want one…
BUT… $499/599 (basic 4 gig model/premium 8 gig model) is way too steep a price for 1st generation hardware…
iPhone Plans
..and yowza. I’m paying $50 a month right now for my semi-smart phone for unlimited data/TMs… 1000 anytime minutes… It’s not a terrible plan, but the more I think about the iPhone, the more it seems to cost, for not much more than what I have right now…
I saw this somewhere else, but this is my math..
$ 499.00 - Cost of phone itself
$1439.76 - 2 year service agreement at $59.99 a month..
———-
$2000.00+
Wow… so that’s quite the commitment… But I still want one…
Honestly, the gripes I have that make me not want one are silly, I’ll admit, but, you MUST activate the iPhone with iTunes… Why? I don’t know… I don’t use iTunes, fuck iTunes, rot in hell iTunes…. “Tell me what you really think,” you’re saying to yourself.
“Maybe you can access iTunes while you’re on the go, and download music to the phone?” No.
You cannot use songs stored on your iPhone for your ringtone.. Yes, you read that correctly…
Flash isn’t supported (which seems odd to me considering how prevalent Flash has been for years now)
To be fair, Apple is planning on issuing updates over time, but nothing has been specifically addressed…
To end things off, yes this site is up, although, $420(at last check) to go in 2 days?
And if I do get one, and see that god damned OSX pinwheel, I’m gonna scream…
