True, but aren't the only other HSDPA phones on AT&T ~$400?

Obviously, you can get Rev.0 phones for Verizon (etc.) for free with contract.

EDIT: nevermind, didn't know that the Samsung Sync was HSDPA/AT&T.

Why do I have a feeling the £100 ($199) price wont apply to England ?
*sigh* F'ing VAT...

What do you guys think about MobileMe? Especially in conjunction with the new iphone...

The 3g data plan is 30 $ in addition to the 40$ minumim talktime plan. That is 70$ a month for both 3g and phone. FOr two year 24 * 70 = 1680.

Good point and thanks for one more phone tip (for HSDPA). I will surely check this out as a cheap solution (I would prefer to stick with the N810 rather than go the iPhone way, since the N810 gives me more flexibility).

But I need to buy unlocked since At&T has this strange rule you cant upgrade before 18 months, or I need to pay full retail price anyways.
I would personally prefer a Nokia as a phone, but a Nokia phone with HSDPA is ~$400 in the US (unlocked) (and that is what pisses me off about Nokia lately).

I am more concerned about the persistent IP connection to Apple servers. I really do not like Apple being Big Brother or in this case Big Apple.

Nothing on BT, probably Apple will wait for the WIFI audio standard Intel is beefing up.

It's not just the VAT. This is one phone that the carriers can't afford to sell too cheap. People are willing to pay for it, and they will :)

About the MobileMe... I'd be very interested about the actual technology behind it. I'm a bit sucpicious about the idea that all my contacts and stuff are stored in "a cloud" ;)

The general idea sounds good though. Just waiting for the PIM suite for tablets *ahem* Nokia?

Maybe you can use mobileme (the web apps) on your NIT for PIM :P
