They are subsidizing the iphone by jacking up the line costs.

Dude, mobile costs in Europe are insane compared to here. I have unlimited internet, texting (picture, regular or video), and mobile to mobile, 600 minutes, and a candian long distance plan and I pay $85/month. That same plan in Europe is like 130/month. Our plans are significantly cheaper in the US comparatively.

Also, phone subsidies are going down worldwide.

Originally posted by Cool1g i wasn't at all trying to say the Razr2 is a competitor for a PDA phone. just saying its what i'm used to and the Touch Pro is 2X as thick...which is a negative for me. the BB Storm is thinner...so that's a plus for me. if they had the Storm for Sprint i'd get it in a second.

I know - I was more trying to highlight the fact that people are making a fuss about nothing in relation to the width of phones and that 18mm thickness isn't really a concern - its still thin enough to fit in any jeans pockets and is only 6mm thicker than most other phones.

Sprint have amazing deals on HTC phones and I know people who are customers for a long time can really get more than just the advertised offers.

yeah - i can get the Touch Diamond for $99 the Touch Pro for $49 and 20% off the monthly service price via a special corporate discount. $70 a month for unlimited web data/pics/texts/etc., with 900 minutes isn't bad at all.

not in the UK they're not - T-mobile, for 25 quid I got a shit load of minutes, unlimited weekend and evening and for 9 quid more, unlimited HSUPA data which was faster than my home 2mg broadband (and reception relaibly covers nearly all of the UK). Also I got my HTC Kaiser (MDA Vario 3 for free the day it was released). To this date T-mobile has not yet released the Kaiser and AT&T (the first US provider to launch it) released it a good six month later, but the first batches all went to existing business clients at a cost of $200 minimum per phone.

So in dollars, in the UK I was paying about $55 for as many minutes as I could use in a business day and unlimted, incredibly fast data. Oh yeah, I dropped the phone and they sent a replacement free of charge within 24 hours (no insurance plan).

Seriously, mobile phones are the one thing in the UK that are cheaper, and are the first to come out.

Well I guess in the UK it is different, but another TA told me about the cost of her plan a few months ago in France, and it was insane. I was like OUCH!!!

Also, in the UK do they have a regulatory agency like the FCC?

True. Apparently it's bad in Germany and Holland too. Handsets cost a arm and a leg and the plans aren't much better either.

Exactly. Hence why I was like, ehh I figure it is similar in UK.

that's how much i didn't like the thickness of the Touch Diamond. Touch Pro was okay but i didn't care for the OS....and i'd prefer having the keypad.

i do know you can customize the hell out of it since its on Windows Mobile....don't have much time/patience to do that.

Rann: Do they have an equivalent of the FCC in the UK?
