I wonder about that too. I can't praise about this Phone enough. (well the lack of cut, copy, and paste is why I didn't buy the 1st 3G)

I don't know if you knew but you get taxed for the regular price. Mine came out to be around $260-$270. I think there were some other minor b.s. Charges.

I would think people that don't want a new contract or still IN a contract and really REALLY want a 3g. A quick glance in CL prices range from $175-$350.

My friend will set it all up. I'm not even eligible for an upgrade

You're right. She had a Centro and dropped it in the toilet at work. No insurance and she isn't eligible for an upgrade...

So far my only complaints would have to be the very short cord on the wall charger. I also wish there was a way to cap lock when typing. And the word completion/spell check is rather weak.

If you keep typing in caps and post it goes back to lower case. If you type in cap lock and before posting hit the shift key so cap lock goes off, then it posts in all caps. Confusing. In simple terms you cant post in all caps you have to type in lowercsae to or else turn off cap lock.

I really never needed the cap locks. I read about how to do it but never used it or ever will i think. I just gave him the directions cause i remembered it and thought i should try it also since im telling is300eater.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS!? TYPING IN CAPS DOESNT MEAN I AM SCREAMING!!

I might get an Iphone next, but my biggest complaint is my fat fingers hit the right letter, and one next to it.

Quick yes or no question.

Long story short. Wife does not have an iPhone but I do. We got our phones at the same time. She now wants one after playing with mine and just wanting her own mp3 player. I am eligible for an upgrade because I have one already. She is not eligible until next year.

If I were to "upgrade" my phone to a new one, couldn't I just give the new one to her?

My wife wants one now too so when I am eligible for the upgrade and when the next one comes out next year, we're going to possibly do just that.
