Why do i say this? Ok well i work for att and yes activating your iphone at home sounds simple enough..and it is for 99% of the people that visit this site...however and unfortunately...alot of people that buy the iphone are complete and utter tool boxes and have no idea what they are doing..they either activate it on a separate plan or on a new line rather then on an existing family plan...or just straight cant figure it out and call the store or me all all day to have them walk through downloading itunes and stuff of this nature So while initially i was happy that the iphone 1 was activated at home it ended up to be more work then it was worth First off i wanna preface my comment with BGR is the shit and i love the site, however i will tell you from experince that activation the iphone 3g in over lst years method is ALOT ETTER for MOST everyone.

I don't use that much space (I only have ~1.5 GB of music on my 500 GB Media Center, nothing else) and I don't have that much money for an iPhone, nor do I want to bend over for 2 years to buy one. And I'm not paying exorbitant prices for a 4GB iPhone on eBay. Give me a 4 GB iPhone 3G.

None. A better tactical fighter than the F-22 Raptor. None. A better bomber than the B-2. None. And you really believe that Apple couldn't produce an iPhone with better hardware or far more features. You don't seem to realize that in Asia those handset companies are subsidized by the government to produce to handsets at a lower price than what one company on it's own can do. Apple is basically producing a one-model-fits-all-countries solution. Not everyone requires video conferencing on a handset. I might want it, but probably most iPhone users do not. In a year you might get your wish. The iPhone could probably kill off the Japanese companies on their own ground if they added a few bits of hardware in the iPhone and tailored it for Asian usage. How much more would it cost to put in a 1Seg and FeliCa chip into the iPhone. Probably not a lot, but it would still cut into margins and it would have limited value for most global users at this point in time. Adding emoji wouldn't be difficult, either. Desktop OSX can do it, so it's likely Mobile OSX could support it also. Most of the manufacturers in Asia you are talking about have been building handsets for years and they don't even offer those fully-featured models to the U.S. They'd die a worse death here than the iPhone will over there. Give Apple some time to compete and it will. It's still just testing the waters. I can assure you that the iPhone 3G will outsell any high-end model that Sony-Ericsson, Samsung or LG will produce this year. If you think it's EASY for any manufacturer to walk in and steal major market share in a foreign market in just a few months, then you are being totally unrealistic. Nokia has been trying for years to do just that in Asia without success. So lighten up on this nothing can beat Asian handsets nonsense. Even companies over in Japan think that they can learn ideas from the iPhone that will help them develop their handsets in other areas.

If Apple decides to give every early iPhone 3G adopter a $100 gift certificate then so be it, I'll use it to get some accessories. If they don't, oh well. Life goes on. That's the early adopter tax. I wanted to be one of the first ones with an iPhone 3G and I paid for that privilege. @Who?: For only $100, I couldn’t care less.

Sure I have the expandable memory slot, but I can't be bothered to buy 4 damn 8gb cards and carry them around all the time, swapping them out when I want to watch a movie on one or listen to music on another. I actually use all my memory. Damn iPhone users, use your memory because not every has those extra GBs. You know, I have to say the only thing I envy on the iPhone is the memory.
