For phone service, I prefer Page Plus Cellular unlimited talk and text for
$44.95 per month no contracts and works on Verizon network. $29.95 for 1200
minutes and texts

I am using an unlocked Samsung i760 phone with it. It works great with wifi
and has a nice camera, and qwerty keyboard. Windows Mobile, not Android...
However, I had the same reaction as you in terms of the new iphone! However, I
don't want to be under any contract.
So what about the new ipad with the $30 a month no contract fee for 3gs
service? Could that be an alternative? It's bigger and doesn't have all the
bells and whistles of the new i phone though.
Other ideas?
I would love to get an unlocked new iphone and pay for just data, but don't
know if that is possible...

I am off my contract at AT&T. Finally, I breath the airwaves of a free
man.
Freedom's great responsibilities descend over me as I behold the daily
onslaught of new smart phones. I know not what to do. Frozen, I keep my
Nokia flip phone, held together with black duct tape. It soldiers on, and
come what may, will someday be heralded as a very smart phone in its own
right.
But I just watched the glitzy iPhone 4 ad,
http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/#design-video and read through that
design page. It's typical Apple. I'm now lusting irrationally...but amid the
hype, I think this iPhone may be a guerrilla docu/human rights
advocate/vlogger's dream!? and of course only for the next few minutes.
- 720p 30fps
- Bigger battery
- Camera's flash will double as a fill light for video. So you could
conceivably get an interview in pitch black if you're right up close to
someone.I've lit someone's face with a cell phone screen...
- Front and back cameras for pic in pic reporting and switching between
the two in the fly for reactions and subject...maybe?
- On board basic editing in iMovie
- Geolocation tagging
- Anything else?
Will the iPhone 4 unfreeze me? Thoughts? Or are their any Android phones on
the horizon like it, but with a mic input and removable batteries!!!???
Oy...
