Re: It doesn't matter if they charge or do not charge.... Oh can the iPhone lover crap.. lemme guess, a droid-fanatic? Seriously.. it's old move on!
AT&T has been charging the $20 for phone as a modem service on iPhone and I don't believe that mindless iPhone users everywhere are lining up to pay the monthly fee.
Seriously.. what the hell do you care and what does it matter to you? Just pick the damn phone that works best for you, as it's clear you have already done that, and stop worrying about what someone else does is or is doing.
And stop thinking that the line of half ass crappy android based phones that come out don't have all their own fanatics like iPhone does. You guys seem to think you're somehow exempt from being called a fanboi for your own opinions and likes. Get over yourself already. |

Never said the android fanatics don't have their proponents but the iPhone is a whole different can of worms.
I personally have never stood in line for any phone but I have friends that have stood in line for the new iPhone and they were willing to pay any price for them so that demographic does exist.
I stand by my statement. iPhone people will gladly pay more just for the privilege of having the iPhone.

kudos:3 | who cares...?
what does it matter? people stand in lines all the times. For movies, for restaurants, for nightclubs, for androids, for black Friday and no matter what the line is being stood in for, there's always some joker that stands back pointing the finger that someone stands in a line and will pay what ever.. who cares. And by the way, I happened to stand in one of those lines once.. only paid the $199 upgrade.. and I did so because I was going out of town and wanted to get my phone before I left so I could actually do the transfer and sync. I guess I'm one of those people?? ... assume much?
Not everyone standing in those lines are paying full price for those things "for the privileged"..
You people really need to knock the crap off and grow up. What other people do is up to them and who are you to judge? I'm sure if we stood back and took a look at your life there'd be plenty to judge about you. Got it? Don't worry about anything others are doing that doesn't affect you. And don't think your life is any more wholesome either. I seriously don't get the need to tear other people down.. I mean, does that make you feel better about your self? You should try to stop acting like you know every thing about everyone doing everything they do. |

Pot...meet kettle.
You see the fanaticism in cell phones all the time. iPhones have the advantage of being the only platform with iOS. They also have the disadvantage of being the only platform with iOS. So while you will have Android fans fight over Samsung vs. Motorola vs. HTC, there is only one iPhone. And those iPhone users are very loyal (as Verizon found out the hard way when they first rejected Apple.)
Now, Facetime is the standard video chat software for iPhone. Skype is an alternative but there are complaints about its features on Apple products. Now, what would happen if Apple decides to dump Skype, and any other video chat software, from iTunes? Unless you jailbreak, you are stuck with Facetime and if ATT or Verizon or Sprint want to charge extra, subscribers are stuck with either paying or dropping their iPhones (not very likely.)
Will people protest? Definitely. Will people switch? Not really. Will some pay the extra fee? Very likely. |
