Downsides

One other note about the new iPhone: it looks like it’s really just another phone now vis-a-vis AT&T. The data plans are the same (i.e. the extra $10 a month, or $25 a month for business plans – WTF?) and you can’t even order the phone online from Apple – it’s retail purchase and in-store activation only.
Sadly, Apple was not able to permanently shift the way cellular works in this country. But AT&T should be kissing their ass, because I can’t count how many people I know who only have AT&T because of the iPhone. And if I could shift it, I’d switch to T-Mob in a second, but I need the visual voicemail…
