I'm a senior in high school and working to get an iPhone the $600 8gb version. Does anyone have it? Will you be able to use myspace on it? (like login and stuff leave comments etc...) But yeah will this be unhealthy to own for my caliber? Anyone in high school (if possible) or anyone who has an iPhone have any financial problems yet?
here I'll help you stay away from it.. if you waste your cash on it being in high school your a loser.. there does that keep you away from buying it?
from what i've read in the internet, iPhone still has activation problems in some places, and yes you can connect to the internet, like sign in to your myspace account and do other stuff... they say what you get on an iPhone is "real internet" not just "mobile internet." But still there are cons about this product - first is probably the huge price... if you're still in high school or going to college it would probably be better if you buy other phones that are less expensive but still has lots of cool features. Second, purchasing an iPhone will force you to sign a two-year contract with AT&T, which will provide voice and data service. And unlike just about every other phone out there, there is no discount on the purchase price for signing that two-year agreement. Also, the iPhone won't run on AT&T's fastest data network, making it painfully slow for Web browsing or sending and receiving photos, unless you happen to be at a coffee shop with free WiFi. Apple promises eight hours of talk time, but analysts suggest that's optimistic—and that using WiFi or playing videos will cut that time significantly. Plus, it appears users won't be able to change the battery, and they'll have to send it back to Apple for a new one. those are what i've read from the internet... it's a cool phone though... a revolutionary one indeed...
It's stupid to work for an phone don't buy something to be i trend or be vool that's stupid buy it if you like it and most important can aford it I can aford it (high school to) but for me 600$ isn't a huge sum but will wait untill it get's in romania + for the next version
I think that the AT&T thing might just scupper the progress of the phone. Trying to nail people to a single contract with a single company will invariably always end in disaster. But peoples desire to have da latest "hip" phone means they will sell loads of units.
I agree with all of the other posters. And in addition I would like to add, if you still want one, keep in mind that this is still the first generation of the iPhone. By time they have gotten to the third generation, all of the bugs and shortcomings should hopefully be smoothed out, and maybe even the price will be better. Trust me, wait till your out of school.
I agree.. been saying from the beginning that it needs to go thru a couple carriers (at least) and preferably trickle down to a prepaid version of the phone as well.. prepaid is a huge chunk of the market.. with people moving as much as they do, alot don't like being tied to a region or contract.
I wouldn't get one because of the contract, price, and phonebill. But if you really want one, I advise for you to wait until the price is lower and that you are sure you will use it for what it's worth.
Oh my God!, you are in high school and you want to purchase that iphone?.I got my first mobile when I completed my clollege and then started to work in companies.I think, if your parents have that much of money to blow, why dont you put it for a good cause. Or you could start saving it for your self.
