Is there a reason that every time you have responded to one of my posts, you have tried to push some stereotype that you have of me rather than discuss the actual topic at hand?
Got a tip for us?

No matter ones opinion of the carrier & iPhone situation, it's only money. Big Business excels at the art of extracting as much as possible from the public, it's been this way for a very long time.
Is there a reason that you respond to my posts that wasn't directed at you and claim strawman, you ask for a source when I'm stating my opinion, when I provide a source you say it's irrelevant, and whenever anyone posts something that you don't like you resort to these same responses over and over again? I know you must defend Apple at all costs, even when someone isn't criticizing them. If memory serves me correctly, I started this thread and have been discussing it just fine with a few users until you came in and started your circle talking and turned it into a thread about me. Why do you always do that?
Because you were arguing against a stereotype.
No, I ask for a source when you are stating a fact not in evidence.
Wow. You've got the full stereotype going there. None of that actually happened. Maybe you should read this thread again. All of my responses to you have been on topic, except for the straw man comment which was a direct response to your own comment. If you want to discuss something that happened in another thread, do it in that thread. And please stop the BS fanboy allegations.
Twist it anyway you like if it makes you feel better. Back to the topic at hand. I'd like to see long term figures for the iPhone on AT&T to see how they have actually done with it. Wishful thinking, but it would be interesting to see a comparison between the iPhone and the other smartphones.
I have yet to see a walkie talkie with GPS, email, and random other apps, or one that requires a central tower, or can contact places thousands of miles away.
The main reason for rate increases are the content providers (Viacom, Fox, etc.) wanting more money in each new contract with the cable company.

That is a great point........
Here's a comparison of smartphone growth at AT&T vs Verizon in 2010. Before the iPhone was released on Verizon.

Thanks for the link. I looked at it quickly but I want to check it out more closely later.
Yes, it uses radio waves, but it's still not a walkie talkie. No push to talk, no working without a tower, etc.
After reading all of this, I see what Apple is doing. All the carriers are expanding their LTE networks fast to stay competitive. All while Apple is forcing them to lose money on the iPhone.
What's next? Easy. Buy your iPhone with iTalk phone service. It's only $199/month for 250 minutes and 1GB data. We have the best phone network because we bought AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile.
Everyone will want to sign up because its, well, Apple.

They make it up over the 24 months of payments, AND the surge in NEW subscribers.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile has been a sinking ship for quite a while now, not having the iPhone didn't cause that.
We understand that the other person is obviously wrong.You'll notice that the two things you posted are actually collected by government.
Like I said, it's not just a figure of speech. Any more than me constantly referring to the guy down the street as a %&*$&% is just a figure of speech. I hope we understand each others point of view by this point.
Their service in Ohio has been terrible for years. That's why I switched and never looked to them again. This was long before the iPhone was released.
