Looks like Congress will investigate wireless companies for anti-trust violations re exclusive linking of certain providers with certain phones.



I might just hold off on my iPhone purchase a little while longer.

You are going to wait for Congress to make a decision? :rolleyes:

Yes, since I can't seem to make one.



(Actually, since none of the options seem to involve anything less than a doubling of my cell phone bill so I can have internet where I don't really care, I'm willing to wait on Congress.)

Huh? I thought it was only about $20-$30 more.

My current cell bill is cheaper than I thought!



It's about $40 more a month. That's $480 for the year, and another $300 or so for the phone. I'm still tempted, but mostly for the "cool" factor and the assumption that I will appreciate something as yet unfathomable about it.


Maybe I'll wait a month or two. It was gonna be a self-birthday present, but I'm pretty tapped out right now.


Seriously, though .... I'd hate to sign up for 2 years with AT&T, only to have their exclusive with the iPhone ruled illegal in less time than that.


But ... I guess if Congress is ruminating about it now, 2 years for a result from them seems about right ... if not overly optimistic.

Just doing a wee bit of research (including this thread) before heading out to purchase two iPhones

Quick question: I want to make sure that a Twitter client does not cut into Text messages - is this correct?

What are y'all's favorite Twitter clients?
Anybody have hints on the better cases to protect from clumsy owners who are prone to dropping phones?

You can set it up either way - I use Tweetie and get all my tweets via this client. I could have them sent to SMS - but I find that I prefer looking at tweets at my convenience rather than as they come in. If you send them to SMS they will count against your text allotment.

As for cases - Contour or Spec cases only and get the protective screen covers (anti glare is preferable). Just remember, you WILL drop your phone.

We are home with new toys. Gonna spend the rest of the evening setting 'em up.

Will get Tweetie. I am always amused by a well named item/app

Got the Contour case and anti-glare protective screen.

Anybody know of a good backgammon game?
