Constance, Apple's business model for the iPhone - buy it at Apple or ATT, then activate and choose services at home or office - if they couple it with their user interfaces that many people love, is the change point. You can bet that Apple will provide technical assistance through their genius

A follow up on this is that Sprint claimed that they were recalling not just a few times a month, but excessively, maybe 100's of times a month. I equate this with the person who has more than a few wrecks being told he will have to find a new insurer. Stewart At 09:21 AM 7/10/2007, you

Most Cell companies have automated ways of answering that question. All I need to do is dial a # or look it up on the web. I have to do this periodically as I have a son who likes to use the bulk of our family minutes (I have a son in college who uses his cell like a regular phone which is

Tipping point? Tom, you have to stop sniffing the iPhone glue. The iPhone has a very nice interface, no question. But beyond that, no killer app; it's not doing anything that already isn't being done by other smart/cell phones and media players. It's clearly evolutionary, not the other thing.

I think this is rather stupid and bad PR for Sprint and may yet backfire on them, but if what has been reported about the people being dropped is true, then I probably wouldn't blame Sprint. Of course, there is also the chance that some of these people had a legitimate complaint that wasn't being

The iPhone is pretty, but it's much too expensive for my budget; and ATT has by reputation the WORST record of coverage of the national capitol area of any of the major carriers. (I checked.) Since coverage is one of my two main issues at the moment, I guess the iPhone is not for me.
