So I was just on the Apple site and apparently when you're in the USA you can only use an iPhone with an AT&T plan???
I thought the US was about choice, you know, 500 different kind of cereal in the supermarket, 600 different flavours of toothpaste.
So you HAVE to be with AT&T? WTF? Is that even legal?

Well the only other network it will work with is T Mobile, and there 3G support is still pretty terrible, from my experience.

You heard we elected a black president too, right?

This changes everything...

Hey so what are you saying "don't believe everything you read"? Obama didn't win?

The big competitor to AT&T in the states is Verizon. The problem is they use a completely different kind of communication link. So it's not a matter of Apple just kicking down iPhones to Verizon. They would have to have a completely different chip in them. Forgive my lack of technical jargon in my response.

And it's perfectly legal. Your choice is to just buy a different phone. It's not a monopoly.

i was just makin sure you were updated on all the latest news that everybody's been talking about last year

I'm extremely impressed with the Evo, and unless something better comes along, when my AT&T contract is up in November, I'm dumping the iPhone for the Evo. Long live Android.

That's what I don't like about Android phones. Droid X, Galaxy S, Evo are all Fuckin Huge! Give me something I can fit in my damn pocket that still performs. Nothing on the market with the size and power I want except the Iphone unfortunately.

They're not that big. Droid was fat and not the best. But HTC has a bunch of phones that are both small and functional.

Kind of like you!

Girth, not length. Think about it, pencildick.

When you go Apple, you've pretty much made your choice, though, haven't you?

Because... it... just ...
