I beleive you must agree to another 2 year contract to get the low price on the iphone, unless you can pay full price for it?

I think this here is right. In fact, most companies do it like that. At the end of the two years you are eligible for an upgrade which is basically a discounted price on a new phone, you know, the nice pretty prices you see in stores. But you should be able to buy the iPhone full price without re-upping your contract.

I could be wrong though

What you said is correct. AT&T does the same. You can only get the discounted price for the phone unless you are in "upgrade" status which is either near or at the end of your current contract and then you can buy the phone at the discounted price if you agree to a new 2 year contract with that phone. Otherwise, you'll have to pay the full price.

Yeah I think I remember your stubborn view on the iPhone a year ago when I was deciding to get one. I love mine, haven't had any problems with it at all.

The camera is great. Best quality camera I have ever had on a cell phone.

Do you have music on your iPhone? I wanna make a few playlists from my iTunes and download it to my phone.Did you have any problems doing that?

Nope, no problems. Easy as pie. In fact, before I got the iPhone, I didn't have my music on iTunes, it was on Windows Media Player, but I was able to transfer all my music from Windows to iTunes. Now I don't even buy cd's anymore, everything I buy now is from iTunes. I have about 10 playlists and about 600 songs.

Nice! Can't wait to put some music on my iPhone.It'll come in handy when I go the gym Right now,I take my iPod to the gym but I'd much rather use my phone instead.

Yep that's what I do. When I go to the gym I just bring my phone in with me and listen to either the songs I already have loaded on it or I use the free AOL Radio app which will give me access to any station I'm in the mood in. I usually listen to the House Mix station when I'm in the gym. Then in my car, I have a radio/cd deck that lets me connect my iPhone to it and I can listen to my songs on my phone through my car radio. Trust me, you'll love the iPhone. It comes in handy in a lot of ways.

Very funny. Of course it does. You can also put someone on speakerphone and navigate to other areas in the phone while you are on a phone call.

Well unfortunately, that's a human decision. Yes it's possible, but not smart. I don't text and drive because I can't afford to get into a car accident at the moment.

I do wish there was a feature where you could sell songs back to iTunes.

It already does! you just have to put the food in yourself but it will count for you!

I love the heart rate app, I compared it to the machines at the gym and its pretty accurate!
