I won’t be quoted on this (which is about as enforceable as jaywalking laws in NYC since I’m posting this on the interweb) but I believe they have a 5 year exclusive contract with AT&T, or whomever they will be by then. While prices will likely eventually come down, it won’t happen any time soon.

I’m interested in seeing how much the cost of the actual iPhone goes down and how quickly, as well as when Apple will make the technology compatible with other providers. Remember when the iPod first came out? $500. Then six months later, 12, 24, 36 – $99. And online, even less, for more Gigs. As much as the iPhone stirs feelings inside me, and it always has, ultimately because of those feelings and longings, I’ve developed a “wait and see” stance. Self preservation, really. Otherwise, I’d go mad. ;-P

I’m hovering on the edge. The two-year contract thing scares me, plus there’s the whole “giving AT&T my social security #” bit. But it’s just such a nice piece of kit. I’ve always hated cell phones, and now there’s one that Doesn’t Suck. Can I keep my wallet closed? (insert Paris Hilton joke here)
