Wow Stewart, you almost achieved superstardom with your "OK first off you are an ignorant
philistine." Great! Not so good here.
Apple wanted worldwide sales for the iPhone. Verizon doesn't do GSM, but Apple wanted them
to do that to get the iPhone. Verizon doesn't get the iPhone without GSM. I might want it
wth my T-Mo account, but special features disappear when the phone's unlocked. AT&T set up
a lot of special features as part of the contract.
So get something else and use a Touch, or not. What's the big deal? It's only a
phone.
OK so you are saying Jobs is just like everyone else out to get our money?
I thought Apple was the home of altruism?
Verizon also did not want to be stuck with the problems. From what I
understood Apple
wanted everything but was willing to give nothing. Verizon said we wont play
that
game.
So Apple approached ATT and ATT jumped at the deal because they needed a way to
bring
more folks in. (Sounds a lot like deceptive marketing to me).
So Apple went with a second rate network to get their device on the market?
