I think your title is misworded. The Death Star is the one having to pay, not the other way around. | |

| Re: No brainer I've been with Sprint for over 9 years. Never been happier. Reasonably priced service, nice selection of phones. I just got a Mogul, it's a great phone. Tried my friends Iphone. I feel sorry for him that he fell for the hype and is paying so much more for a piece of crap like that. Apple products in general may look sleek, but are poorly designed and not real user friendly. Just wish users would admit it. | |

Sprint has the Instinct which to me....blows the Iphone out of the water, they also have good prices, and seem to be at the front for innovation (Airave and Xohm come to mind). Sprint has always been at the front for technology and innovation, their DSL/Voip offering, original fixed wireless systems etc. They never seem to be able to capitalize on it though. | |

| Re: No brainer yah i know what an unlocked phone is. But most if not all carriers will not give you a list of what phones that work on their network that are NOT theirs. Why should they? they get you to buy their phone with their logo on it and advertise them. They don't want you have a VZW phone on Sprint for a reason. | |

Sorry but the instinct does not even come close to the iphone!! We could start with true HTML on the iphone and go on and on. I had the iphone for a year and half and just signed up with Sprint because spending $200+ a month on two iphones wasn't worth it it. We looked at the instinct(so called iphone killer) and it wasn't even in the same class. We currently have a blackberry curve and a treo 800w and are enjoying the low prices sprint offers.

| I Left Verizon for the iPhone And I'm not sorry -- I find the iPhone to be the perfect device for my needs -- but I really did like Verizon's network coverage and quality better.
If Verizon starts offering the iPhone after AT&T's exclusivity expires, I may switch back -- although naturally I'll have to get a CDMA version of the device.
Verizon's billing (particularly in regards to the customer account management area on the Web) and support was vastly inferior to what I now have with AT&T, though, in my admittedly limited experience.

I'm not tied to the iphone, just the 'open' features. It simply is the better phone for me on the market by a wide margin.
I switched from Verizon, I felt that they gave me the better coverage, but their prices are pretty terrible (company as a whole). I'd switch back if they had something similar to the iphone,or the iphone itself.
In general, cell phone companies rank right up their with meter maids in my ranking of dislike. | |

| correction? Don't you mean AT&T's bill FROM Apple? AT&T is paying full price for every iphone. Apple is making a killing announcing record profit margins yesterday. Now people are spending less and cutting back on their phone plans. AT&T is in for a world of hurt for the next year which is why their stock took a beating yesterday. | |

If i did not have a data plan with my iPhone, it would be worthless in my eyes. Exactly. Even with wifi it'd still be pretty well useless based on what it can do.
One reason they knew most folks wouldn't give a rip about the contract & price if they really want one.

Valencia, CA | Re: AT&T is making out ok on the iPhone I technically agree... however, if you got 'bored' of the iPhone, or decided to go back to a plain old GSM phone, you would still be required to pay the $30/month for the 3G data plan that's required.

The problem is the carriers are going to be fighting an uphill battle the next several quarters as they see an increase of non paying customers and non paid disconnects due to our poor economy and loss of jobs.
Your figures are based on the assumption that everyone will pay their bills ontime everytime. | |
