Did you read this after you wrote it? People paying almost $1000 EVERY YEAR to own a phone will balk at a $400 ONE-TIME cost to get the phone they truly want? How much more monthly is your iphone plan over your Nokia plan? If you own that iPhone for two years, how much more will you have paid over your previous Nokia plan? Monthly costs for the iPhone are outrageous, and I am rather shocked that a financial-oriented blogger would own one. > ” I think this is a win strategy for customers also because a lot of them won’t be able to pay $500 for a phone, but don’t mind paying $100 for the phone and then $80 every month for the plan”

Not that it didn't work at all, but it stopped going to the right. That was something I hated. The other thing was that my Nokia used to change the time acc to the time zones but the Blackberry didn't do it. I noticed that this doesn't happen on the iPhone also. @Jason
