They might say, "Twice as fast, crashes 4 times as much."

the iPhone 3G 2.0 software crashes constantly... 4-5 times per day. Unusable almost... not sure if its the phone or the software, but text message chimes quit working all the time... constant itunes problems crashing and the phone resetting.

I am VERY disappointed in it.

"Do they really think the telco's are going to spend millions in upgrading their service out of the goodness of their hearts."

No I would think they would upgrade as a added value that would return their investment by adding new subscribers. Not by gouging their present customers. Lots of people wouldn't switch to ATT from Verizon etc. etc because thay had faster networks. That should be their ONLY reason to upgrade their network, to stay competitive. No reason why I should have to sign a new contract just to upgrade to a newer model.

From ATT upgrade site "You can take advantage of our no-commitment pricing option, with the exception of iPhone which requires a 2-year commitment." So they reward their current customers by making them sign a a new 2yr higher priced contract. Thanks ATT, does that come with some lube too.

No thanks, I'll keep my current plan and 1st gen iPhone, with SW upgrade its like a new phone anyway. I would bite if they have just raised monthly say $5 more, but $15 more a month to get same features feels like I'm getting rear ended. And their are a lot people out there that feel same way, they would gain way more upgraders and new subscribers this way. iPhone is steamroller all on its own, couple that with a reasonable plan and they would probably gain millions more subscribers than they are gonna get the way their goiing about it.
