Just sick of these thieves and iPad is a joke. It's 2010 and they come out with something that Windows 3.1.1. was doing in 1994...

Can you not get insurance with AT&T? (Assuming that is who you are with since it's an Iphone) I know with Verizon I pay about $5 a month for insurance and if the phone gets broken or lost I can replace it with a simple deductible of $50. Hell of a lot cheaper than paying full pop especially when replacing Smart Phones. If I lose my Blackberry $50 will be a lot less painful than $300.
As far as the Iphone, I am a Mac user but refused to get the Iphone and be locked down to AT&T. Had them in the past and hated them plus I heard their service is crappy from all the Iphone users running data heavy apps. I think once Google releases the Nexus on all carriers the Iphone will have a tough competitor to contend with as it sounds like it's going to be a helluva phone.

Ditto... me and the wife have BB Storms... I immediately asked how much it'd be to replace one.. they said 600$ (this was when they first came out)..

Insurance is worth it. Haven't had to use it.. but it's nice peace of mind.

Not on the iPhone. It simply isn't an option.

I second Mugen's suggestion to check out an Android phone. I currently have a Windows Phone 6.5 (HTC Touch Pro 2) but will be switching to Android as soon as the HTC EVO 4G is released.

Um, Apple didn't create the smartphone concept, Palm did.

RIP, Palm. Verizon can't even give the Pre away these days at a two for one deal. Developers don't want to write for the OS etc.

Palm had it all, and pissed it all away.

It certainly looks that way, unfortunately. The Pre could have been a hit, but the lack of SD card support and no local sync option were big minuses, IMO.
