ParticipantDoes anyone think Apple should be going down in the near future? Fancy phones and music boxes should not be big sellers in a major recession.

ParticipantAs I said before, T-Mobile USA will be in the best position of all the major carriers during the downturn. They are focused on prices rather than delivering newfangled services that people may want, but aren’t going to pay for.
Say a family budget is $50/person per phone. Subscribers aren’t going to be willing to suddenly pay $80 or $100/mo per phone for some extra data services.

Your pricing models are wrong here. $50/per person is way off. I have 4 phones on my family plan. Cost is $90/month. Data services are an additional about $30/month (not sure if that is per phone or not – I don’t subscribe to it).
Also, I could see many dumping their fixed-location $50/mo cable modem for a $30/mo mobile EVDO connection. Save $20 and connect anywhere.
Lots of newly unemployed people start businesses and will require enhanced services more than as an employee.
I’m not saying it the wireless industry is growing through the roof, just pointing out that alot of your assumptions and understanding of the industry are not correct.
