I hear you....with me I need something thats more practical and okay if it drops couple times and still works fine,camera is big thing for me (5+ mega pixels for sure).

I have blackberry pearl which is currently activated on a corp voice and data plan with free everything since I work with Bell but yet I still pay almost $90/month to fido for city fido plan for the phone I love.

I have my iPhone in the states through AT&T. Hopefully Rogers' plans are simmilar to AT&T's. I pay around $150 a month for 900 minutes, 200 texts, and unlimited data. I had to add an international data package so that AT&T doesn't rape me when I come up to Toronto and use my internet.

I love my iPhone. It's more of a pocket computer than a phone. Also, the fact that it works through the screen means that there's endless upgrades that can happen until Apple comes out with a new design, which isn't on the horizon just yet. The 2.0 software upgrade is slated to be released in June/July, free to all iPhone users.

Holy shit, $150/mo? And you're getting EDGE data speeds too, ugh what a joke.

The iPhone we get had better goddamn well be 3G or else it is a complete waste.

I hate to sound like a fanatic but the only phone that will ever beat the iPhone is the next iPhone.

The Iphone in and of itself isn't a problem for anyone.

It's just really creepy to see people get super excited over the release of ANY product, especially one that is basically a re-tread of something we've already had for many, many years. The Iphone will revolutionize nothing. I mean, it's a PHONE. It MAY at BEST make your work life mildly more convenient but it's nothing to get excited about. Many, many of the people I see excited over this sort of thing don't even work in business, they just think it's "neat".

The automobile changed the world, the 1988 Dodge lineup did not.

Radio changed the world, sattelite radio will not.

Motion pictures changed the world, motion pictures on a bigger screen with surround sound did not.

Television changed the world, HDTV will not.

The telephone (and again to a lesser extent the cell phone) changed the world, the Iphone will not.

It's all just the same old, same old in a newer package with features of questionable actual use and a glitzy ad campaign designed to make you buy something you already have.

Personally I wonder about anyone that gets excited about ANY product, whether it's the new spring line of clothes, the 2008 roll out of vehicles or whatever digital crap is making "news" this month. New STUFF just isn't that exciting, expecially if it's really not going to make your life appreciably better. It's all just proof that professional marketers are smarter than the average Joe - our job is to keep as much of our money in our pockets as we can and their job is to seperate us from our money as fast as they can. It's a battle and they seem to be winning in a lot of cases and with less and less effort each year.

When people start talking about loving Apple (or any corporation) all is pretty much lost. Not that you have to HATE corporations either, generally speaking I don't. But to succumb to the idea of brand loyalty is scary. LOYALTY is a powerful concept and to apply it to a faceless body whose only mission is to take as much money from you as they can get away with without making you angry enough to stop giving them that money is inappropriate.

But what do I know, I don't carry any sort of cell phone. Never saw the point, I have phones at home and at work that ring plenty already.

Thank you early adopters for bearing the outragous cost of pointless new products so that the good things in them can be pillaged and eventually filter down to the mainstream and be put to good use. We live in very interesting times where people are actually willing to plunk down $2,400 per year (if you think that iPhone plans are going to be less than $200 per month in Canada you are dreaming) so that they can browse the web and read their email while they hurtle down the freeway at 70mph in their Mini Coopers.
