The cell phone companies are indeed charging far more than they need to and are also assessing what amounts to double taxation. They ARE ripping you me and everyone else off! But whattya going to do? Get your corrupt political representitives to do something about it? For me - rip off that it is. I can't hardly imagine living without one. (I'd probably give up being ripped off to the tune of $60+ a month for internet access first.)

Anybody want to give us an iPhone review? I hate doing business with Cingular Wireless and now that they are AT&T, I wonder if things will improve or get worse. The whole cell phone industry seems like a racket to me. And I am concerned the way cell-phones have impacted our culture, expecially kids with cell-phones. One of the interesting features on the iPhone is that it saves voice-mail messages in a folder and you can click on each individual message. I need that on my next phone. I have been using a smart-phone for at least a year now. Mine is the little one in the photo below: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/images/hardware/communicatorcomparison01.jpg It does some of the things that the iPhone does. I bet my Nokia is much better at sending text messages, as the Nokia has a large easy to use keyboard. However, I could not find anybody that wanted to receive a 200 word essay on their cell-phone. I bought it because it was supposed to send text messages to a paper fax machine, which it was designed to do. However, I couldn't find a phone company that supported the feature. They waited till after selling me the phone to tell me that. The technical support provided by Nokia and Cingular wireless was pathetic for this phone, and they quickly discontinued it. I still love it though, and considered it a good investment for the mobile nature of my business. If you do get a smart-phone, make sure it has some feature to place post-it notes on the screen. These little yellow reminders come in handy. And the "Things to Do List," needs to be very user friendly. Maybe Sony should add cell-phone capabilites to its Portable PlayStation ( PPS )? An iPhone, will never be able to play games or watch movies like that. I hope I live long enough to see a cell-phone with an altimeter, barometer, and temperature gauge, and compass, a satelite TV/radio, heart-rate monitor, LED light, tooth-pick, tweezers, bottle-opener. It would have a Swiss-army label and the word Sunntos on it somewhere. In the mean-time, I will just duct-tape a Sunntos watch to the back of it and a small utility knife to the side.
