No one will pay an extra $30 for data and does that even include the 200 SMS?

Well, before people were paying an extra $20 for data, so this is only a $10 increase for way faster speeds. Well worth it in my book, and a Blackberry charges $45 (even to consumers) for data.

I’m guessing that it does include the 200 SMS just like before.

But their trying to sell this to the average person who does not have any data to begin with! So a $30 charge out of no where is a slap in the face.

I never liked the iphone, to me its like every other touch screen phone, its super populer only because its an “iphone” the sony X1 can do all this and more, and has a full keybord and so, but not much talk about it because its not apple

I felt the same way as you did when the iPhone was first released. It didn’t seem like anything earth shattering until I started looking around for a new phone. I checked out the other touchscreen alternatives that were similarly priced, and nothing really came closer in terms of the ease-of-use. Plus the extensive battery life is really what sold me since I’ve had horrible battery life on all my phones in the past. It really just depends on your taste though.

I read on Gizmodo or Engadget that 3G can be turned off but it’s a few menus deep.

Thanks! Just updated the article.

I’m guessing you’re right. I think I’ll miss the aluminum back since it looked so slick, but if I get better reception (which reports are saying) it will be worth it.

I’m disappointed to see that Panama is not included on the list of countries where the iPhone will be marketed, even though other Central American countries are.

Omar, don’t give-up yet if you want an iPhone. Apple is really focusing on expanding into new countries and if they’re already in several countries in Central/South America, there’s still hope for you.

We did see the information about TomTom’s application that’s ready to go. We’re just wondering how much they’re going to charge!
