Apple's 3G iPhone: First Reviews Are So-So

Some important facts that you forgot to mention as part of this article. FIRST, the ATT iPhone plan costs THE SAME as for their other, lesser, "smart" phones! So it doesn't cost more than OTHER phone plans. SECOND, since iPhone users use the data plan/internet SIGNIFICANTLY more than other "smart" phone users (google announced this week that number is 50 x compared to all other phones on their website, YES 50x!), the iPhone user therefore gets far more value out of the data plan. Third, even though the battery doesn't last as long in 3G mode, it still lasts SIGNIFICANTLY longer than other 3G phones' batteries, and backup packs are now available to extend that life when you need it. Fourth, even though as Pogue points out, 3G isn't available everywhere from ATT, it still covers something like 70-80% of the population, and will increase even more by the end of the year! You are supposed to be reporters - do your own work - try finding and focusing on the real facts!!!!!!!
