But all phone makers are going to hurt not having phone service companies subsidizing phones.
People are NOT making the money and even someone making 50-70k are going to wait and not spend $900+ yearly for the newest phone.

I am NOT going to repeat what I have told you four times before, because you seem to be a slow learner or just completely DENSE. It will make no difference, because the cost will be the same. Apple saw NO DROP IN SALES WHEN Verizon and AT&T started offering their programs that already did that two years ago. . . and T-Mobile has been adding millions of subscribers with exactly that model. Give it a rest with spamming these threads with the same identical comment over and over and over again. You are wrong.

I really think that people are starting to get geek-toy fatigue. Let’s face it, we’ve been into incremental improvements for a while. I might have the money to get a new phone, but my hand-me-down iPhone 4 (w/new battery) is adequate for my purposes. It’s a tool, not the Center of my Universe.
