I dont pay for it

I just saw this in Apple.com to download Itunes

What is the difference between the original and this one? Twice as fast & Half the price?

As I unerstand it, the chip technology for those faster speeds we were promised in the first place is finally small enough to fit into this small of a form factor.

So I can get this instead of an Ipod Touch, right? Can I really buy the phone for $199 and not sign up for any phone service, then just use the Ipod functions? Or is it only $199 if you sign up for a phone plan as well. Cuz I've got a year left with Verizon Wireless.

Well i hope to do that, otherwise i have to get an ipod.

It would be cool if i could have like a pre paid deal on the calls, since i don't use my mobile that much and just have it for numbers and the occasional call, but with that a cheap net plan for $10-$15 a month.

= happy

Somebody recommended this in another iphone thread. I don't remember who it was but I bookmarked it for reference. It's worth a look for you.

Wow thanks for that

I wonder if i could get it to work with a Australian SIM provider like Vodafone or Telstra. If it basically works a similar way to i think it does then i could be using the iPhone for calls, lol.


Also do you know how the whole AT&T thing works internationally?

i really want a cool phone. Maybe a NVIDIA Tegra depends on the price. Maybe $300 for the 16GB. Not sure if I can use my current Cingular/AT&T card on the new phone or need to wait till end of December to finish my 2 year contract
