I have a couple of questions about the iphone 3G...?

Question

-First, how much do I have to pay monthly for the service for my phone...even if I don't necessarily need or want the service.

-Second, is the phone worth all the money because I just want a new phone and I love how with a touch of a finger I can get 2 where exactly I would like 2 go! :D

-Lastly, is there anything else I must know before considering 2 fully buy the iphone 3G because I am going 2 the AT&T store 2morrow!

Thanx for all your answers guys! :)

Answer 1

1. the minimum bill is $70 a month. this doesnt include texting

2. no, its not worth it. if youve never used a touchscreen device, you will probably be disappointed in it. The 'neat' factor wears off quickly.

3. It lacks many many features that most phones have.

It supports bluetooth headsets only. you cannot send files through it.

it doesnt have multimedia messaging.

it doesnt have java gaming.

haptic feedback

it has internal memory only, and this takes a very long time to transfer things (of course this is subjective. if an hour to transfer 6gb doesnt bother you, then skip it)

voice dialing

mp3 ringtones

whatever is on apples itunes is the only things youll ever be able to install on it. This is an issue when it comes to many things. the multimedia format is very small. no avi/wmv/wma

You have a poorly programmed html only browser. So you cannot go to flash sites, watch videos besides youtube mobile site, no java.

it also has the highest defect rating of any phone currently on the market in the united states. (i created a poll at howardforums.com and out of the 200 people that responded 110 phones had a defect)

most common problems:

light seen between the bezel and screen

rainbow streaks on the screen

dust under the screen

dead pixels

black marks on the screen

cracks around the camera and headphone jacks.

dead gps

Answer 2

hey! first of all, an iphone is definitely worth it! everything is way cool.

to answer your first question, you would have to add $30 (for data/internet) to any of the plans you choose. and you would also have to add texting because it doesnt come with the plan.

i guess one bad thing about the iphone is that you cant send pictures/videos with texting. but thats not really a problem. everything else is really nice, especially the GPS and the internet.

you should definitely get an iphone! have fun with itt
