So currently I'm excited about the iPhone (I want to see reviews) and on Friday it will be released in the US, but now I've seen this scam:

http://blu-ray.typepad.com/.shared/imag ... _plans.jpg

You are currently staring at a lame excuse for a mobile phone rate. Not only that but without "activating" the iPhone you cannot get unlimited data or visual voicemail! They have just paid $599 for the iPhone and now they need $60 a month for a standard rate?! If that hasn't annoyed you enough then get ready, they expect you to pay $36 just to start it up AND if you cancel the contract you must pay $175 to get out of it!

What a rip-off! I wanted a high-tech phone, not a debt-machine!

Discuss your feelings on this sudden burst in fees.

Apple is fail.

Isn't that only if you buy iPhone "sharpened" for AT&T?

Should have seen this coming, there's always a catch. I wonder if it'll be worse over here though (probably better in UK but in Ireland we're going to get utterly raped).

I would get a Helio tbh

Heilo for the instant fucking win.

I WOULD GET A DEVICE THAT HAS A CAMERA AND MAKES CALLS.

Seriously, iPhone. Massive moneysink, and a flashing beacon to thieves.

Makes you feel proud to be British.

But what mobile corporation are Apple going to sign a contract with in the UK? Vodafone probably.

In answer to Dae's quote:
Indeed, that is true but if the phone is not sharp enough to have unlimited data it will be blunt...and blunt is bad....and a waste.

My son, you have taken your first steps to recovery, yet the whole road lies ahead.

Does James still play WoW?

by **James** » Fri Jun 29, 07 3:06 pm

No, I lent it to a friend til I want to use it. I would play it if more of my mates played at the same level, but sadly they're far off.

by **Six Of Seven** » Fri Jun 29, 07 3:15 pm

WoW is for homosexuals.

by **xProtocol Rain** » Fri Jun 29, 07 7:56 pm

I heard about some guy who played WoW and he came across this female player. He asked the woman to marry him and she declined. He then committed suicide.

Yes, but you would never have an iPhone. The sheer pleasure of gloating "I have an iPhone, na na

. I have money to burn."

I would also like to add to Carnage's post: there were lots of people who commited suicide because of WoW, there's a kid who hung himself because his parents were too busy playing WoW to pay attention to him.

by **clyzm** » Sat Jun 30, 07 12:31 am

Yeah, there was this one guy, who had a family right, two kids and a wife. He got WoW and couldn't stop playing. It got as bad as him missing work, so he was fired. He didn't pay attention to his kids or his wife, and he started to notice. His wife filed for divorce, but that's when she noticed he drank a bottle of antifreeze and killed himself.

Dale what have you been drinking lately

Anti-freeze?

But then you can say "I got robbed because I possessed an iPhone".

I don't see the point, tbh. I got a contract for a Sony Ericsson k610i and it has virtually unlimited calls, texts, internet browsing, camera/video, multimedia player, MSN, has just under 100mb of memory with the memory card I got with it and runs better then my computer. LOL :lol:

For £180 in total.

And I tried getting addicted to WoW, but I got bored really quick.

by **C:Enter:£££** » Sat Jun 30, 07 5:03 pm

100mb, is that it? They should have given you 256/512.

What the hell is Apple playing at?
