Mr. Peel bought an HP "smart phone" (model 6513?) Bluetooth *almost* worked. WiFi *almost* worked. The Phone part - so-so. Price: Over $550.00. After playing with it for 10 days, he decided to return it to T-Mobile. Reason: T-Mobile decided to drop support for the phone as it was *almost* good enough to support.
Paying $550.00 for something that *almost* worked versus $600.00 that is expected to work flawlessly is a no-brainer. (Now, of course, if the iPhone doesn't work, that's a different story -- it goes back!)
I wonder why they call it a “cell phone”. They give them away for free at many places. I got three V3c’s with my $30 a month three line plan. It rings, it talks, its a cell phone.
For the rest you need a lappy. Does anyone actually think Internet over the cell phone frequencies is going to work? Unless they repealed the laws of physics, good luck with that.
And people think braodband is slow ...

I just bought my brother a TMobile,prepaid phone.
He got it ripped off and got one exactly like it at Walmart for $39.95.
He calls me from Oregon and I hear him just fine.
My cell phone works fine - and it was free (well, free with a 2 year contract).
can anyone confirm that apple used a “small hand” hand model to demonstrate the iphone to make it look bigger and easier to use.
