It’s not really revolutionary, but the hardware is a good value if you don’t mind limited additional software availability. I would suggest buying it outright so they don’t bump package costs higher than for a windows mobile device if you can. The Cingular ones should take the same SIM card and I would stay on my same plan.
It doesn’t matter what store you get it from, Apple or Cingular/AT&T — brick and mortar or online — it’s all the same, all the same and all the same. There will be no variation no matter where you get it or how you get it.
The package price for the service has already been announced and it’s as low as $59. Again, it won’t matter when you get it, where you get it, or whatever — it’s all going to be the same pricing structure at every conceivable place you can get it from — no variation — down to the penny...
