So I think $60 a month is a lot of money, because I would ony want the data plan and the Ipod features. |

Never before has a mobile phone had such restricted availability which is why it's never before been necessary to consider the cost of the plan as part of the overall cost. Quote:

Re: WSJ: Mossberg reviews the iPhone
Ah so you aren't a cell phone user. In that case I understand :)
Though I do remember hearing "You can apply any phone plan to the iPhone". Unfortunately, their smallest package is $39 for 450 minutes, with no data... I do see where you're coming from, I would love a video iPod with Wifi and all the same features minus the phone. Edit: In regards to the plan stuff, I believe you can cancel out of the contract and apply the iphone data plan alone, which is $20 a month. Edge sucks badly though :) So $599 + 175 to get onto a $20 a month data connection (although very slow). Its also stated that it just needs activation once, so the iPod features should work just fine without voice services. I'll try to find the link that cites that, but it was pretty clear. That said, I wouldn't get the iPhone if I wasn't using its voice capabilities. I'd prefer a device similar to my N800 or Foleo. |

Re: WSJ: Mossberg reviews the iPhone
This is why I am waiting for v. 2.0 . I am an Apple user/fan, have a Macbook Pro, Treo 755p (use it as a modem) and a Nokia 800.... I am sure these short comings will be addressed soon.
I would get an iPhone once these things are addressed but I would like to replace my iPod and phone into one device... but I need at least 30-40 GB for my existing music, videos, etc. It will get there in time. I an eager to see the device especially for surfing the web and compare it to the N 800 (quality wise). |

"I an eager to see the device especially for surfing the web and compare it to the N 800 (quality wise)"
Me too. I have a strong feeling from what I've seen in video and heard in reviews that the Iphone's browser has nothing on the N800. The X-factor, of course, will be the creativity and diversity of "Web 2.0" apps that the community develops. |
Re: WSJ: Mossberg reviews the iPhone
One reason I got the N800 is there is no monthly charge that comes with it. I have a Tracfone, with a cost of something.like $100 a year. I already have a Vonage phone, for about $30 a month. The iPhone would be way out of my budget.
