Ah, source says "hef" instead of "href" ;) Edited 2009-03-13 00:12 UTC Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (umccullough) Comments Insane pricing http://osnews.com/thread?353023 http://osnews.com/thread?353023 100$ a month for a phone???

The US seriously needs some competition and/or more regulation. Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:12:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (kragil) Comments the real news in the webinar http://osnews.com/thread?353031 http://osnews.com/thread?353031 The real news in the webinar is when they said that it comfortably multitasks *4* applications. Let's see, 1) email, 2) IM, 3) web, 4) music, 5) fail. They also said at the webinar that it won't be able to run games other than casual web-based type games, the app store sells mostly games for the iPhone. I was set to like the Pre, and I really want Palm to succeed (I own two Palm devices, a centro and a TX) but I think the Pre is going to disappoint, and there's a reason besides hype that they aren't letting it get examined by just anyone.

although part of our cost is to cover the 'free phone' you get with your contract Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:08:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Adurbe) Comments RE: Insane pricing http://osnews.com/thread?353089 http://osnews.com/thread?353089

It's a better deal than the competition has. Generally, it costs about US$30 more for their equivalent plans.

I'm not saying that it's good, but being less expensive, it helps. Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:05:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments WAY too expensive http://osnews.com/thread?353180 http://osnews.com/thread?353180 I can lease a new small car for $190 month.

Why the hell is a cell phone contract soooo expensive??? Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (lqsh) Comments RE: WAY too expensive http://osnews.com/thread?353270 http://osnews.com/thread?353270

It depends on what you're going to use it for. There are alot of NZ'ders who, for example, only have a mobile phone for their home phone rather than a land line. As wireless improves in speed and lower in price you're going to see people tether their mobile to their laptop (rather than it being just a small number of people).

Edit: I hope they allow people to purchase the phone outright; I have a Vodafone prepaid phone and would like be able to purchase this phone.Edited 2009-03-16 09:43 UTC Mon, 16 Mar 2009 09:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (kaiwai) Comments
