I just want to go on record as saying the problem I (and I imagine most posters here) have with the iPhone is not based on being a “fanboy” (or whatever the opposite is), it’s because the iPhone has some of the best hardware on the market, with some of the worst software. It’s not bad from a design / usability standpoint, I just mean the way they lock down the firmware and fight so hard to keep the platform from being opened up. I’d love on the iPhone as much as the next guy, if I could just *use* the hardware the way I want to without risking a bricked device or a visit from the Apple Gestapo or whatever.

a) yes, it’s as easy as downloading a profile and starting itunes (and you don’t need 8.2, as I have connected to itunes 7.7.0.43 on an old computer that has been off the grid awhile).
b) the benefit is unlimited data tethering for us$30/month, at least until AT&T blocks it.
c) almost as annoying as apple fanboiz: anti-apple fanboiz.

Oh, and your irda provides nowhere near the throughput of AT&T’s 3G speeds, even when bottlenecked through bluetooth.

“Just because you can’t afford a $3,000 laptop doesn’t mean it sucks, it means you do. ”

Iphone is not much different in price from PPC. So just because you cant compare technical specs and willing to lick someones balls being fan this mean you sucks

Wow.. that’s not pretentious…
You know, having money doesn’t make you a better person, and I think in your case it makes you a worse one.

Oh my god! Everyone run, it’s the grammar police!

Oh wait…it’s just a silly troll, nevermind.

*shoos Maj awyay*

Yes, AT&T is annoying, and the only reason they’re not offering tethering is because if they did, they couldn’t sell you an aircard, could they? It’s all about money, as it’s always been.

As for the iPhone being dated functionality…really? That’s what you’re going with? As much as I don’t like Apple fanboys, I hate the people that talk smack even more. Why can’t they have love for the brand when you have such hate for it?

Just because you can’t afford a $3,000 laptop doesn’t mean it sucks, it means you do.

I have an iPhone, 160gb iPod, and a MacBook Pro, but I also have a Vaio laptop and a desktop I built for gaming.

Yes, the iPhone/iPod/iTouch is the best thing out there for music, games, and applications. Stop arguing. If you don’t like it, use your shitty phone and your Zune and keep your mouth shut.

I don’t understand why Apple customers have such difficulty with grammar and mechanics.

Looks like the carriers are on to it. Not sure about other countries but O2 in the UK are trying to charge £15/month for 3GB of tethered usage, even when you are already paying for unlimited data!!

hmmm…
