ParticipantI am not defending AT&T. I have an iphone, and converage is not good.
That said, when I consider purchasing anything with a subscription, I realize that the company’s business model is based on subscription payments. If its not reasonable I don’t do it. Anyone who tries to work around a contract of that complexity for a small amount of money is doomed to be frustrated. The potential to save $80 can’t be worth the wait on the phone, let alone the days of frustration you must be going through. While the company has a lot of faults, I can’t agree with you on the contract issue.

Participant[quote=stockstradr]You know, if you hold the phone with your hand touching the wrap-around bezel, your cell signal drops to zero, but your skull can then pick up HAM radio signals from Eastern Europe.
This is a little known fact of the iPhone gen4.
Twist your nose to tune in a HAM signal.
You’ll be able to hear Dilbert-type geeks from around the world who are searching HAM radio for their first date (or sounds of alien life), or both. If you open your mouth sometimes nearby friends can hear your skull listening in on these geek mating calls.
However, please note you need to know your Morse code if you want to get your HAM radio license. There is probably an iPhone app that teaches that.
Oh, and “bezel” is pronounced like “bee-zill” rhymes with “weasel” (another word for British Petroleum executives)[/quote]
I am hijacking a little here… But being in the “biz” I do a lot of things that are borderline geeky…
One night I discovered this… It refers to the HAM radio operations and spying… Its called a number station… If you get creep’ed out easily you may want to wait till morning till you listen to this link…
Its a BBC publication so you know its credible…

GuestI’ve been jailbreaking my iPhone since the beginning. Makes your iPhone more powerful with more features.
Jailbreaking iPhone apps is now legal
By David Goldman, staff writerJuly 26, 2010: 2:46 PM ETNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — IPhone users can now legally hack their phones to download applications that aren’t in Apple’s App Store.
The U.S. Copyright Office, a division of the Library of Congress, has authorized several new exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), one of which will allow mobile phone users to “jailbreak” — or hack into — their devices to use apps not authorized by the phone’s manufacturer. The new rules will be published on Tuesday in the Federal Register.
