i think the fact that only at&t has to be the carrier for the iphone is ridiculous, itried to get one for my daughter for her birthday but because my credit was not perfect( whos is these days) they wanted a $1000.00 for a deposit. The fact that you need perfect credit to get one is completely stupid, and you lost a sale because instead i bought her a sony vaio laptop instead so sony got my money not apple.Oh well maybe you apple will learn to go back to how it was choose your carrier and just buy the phone at a flat rate. i thought steve jobs was smarter than this boneheaded policy. i hope they lose alot of money and microsoft destroys them this quarter.
