Is anybody else completely sick of iPhone news? You all know I am as much an Apple Fan Boy as the next guy, but seriously. I am less than impressed with the iPhone. I think Apple screwed up majorly going with Cingular. And I think they are trying their hardest to make it as hard as possible for current Cingular customers(which I am not) to get an iPhone. Unlike every other Apple product, this product seems to have a goal of obtaining more Cingular customers.

Here are some of the things that support my argument.

You can not use a current Cingular phone plan, even if you have a data plan. You HAVE to get an ‘iPhone Plan.’ Unless you qualify for a new 2 year contract, you can not change to this plan and get an iPhone.

You can’t use an iPhone(to it’s full potential at least) if you are a corporate customer.

You can’t keep your old phone number. iTunes activation assigns you a new one.

You can’t use another AT&T SIM Card. Only the one that comes with the iPhone.

And I won’t even get into all the technological downfalls of the iPhone on the Cingular Network. If Apple/Cingular didn’t make it such a pain in the ass for me to get one, I would probably have one right now. I have always wanted a device that put the internet at my finger tips every where I go. But for now, Apple, you can keep your damned iPhone.
