What’s with the craziness over an insanely priced mobile phone? Well, Its cool and is fast evolving into a single gadget, but for $600 and having to sign up for blacklisted telecoms provider, no thanks.
Aside from the fact that it is exorbitantly priced and a looming monopoly is in the works, the touch pad phone buttons is not that awesome. People need to dial without looking and only normal phones can do that. Touch screens eventually wear out, and once they do, it becomes more of a disadvantage. I am sure you have all experienced using the touch screens at the market when you pay by debit card, but the hassles they give the owner when they start to wear out render the iPhone somewhat inoperable. The question is, do you want that on your cellphone? For a $600 price tag to replace the thing, count me out.
