Share this page:
If you don’t fit into one of these categories, you’ll have to spend $200 more, $399 for 8GB or $499 for 16GB. In both cases, a two-year contract is required.
For those who don’t want to sign with AT&T, „coming soon” are $599 8GB and $699 16GB variants, which won’t require a contract.

Bye Bye AT&T I just sold my iPhone and switched to Verizon. I was one of those people who fell for the Apple hype. I thought hey, I have a Macbook pro so the iPhone can't be that bad....I was wrong. I had horrible reception at AT&T, and couldn't make calls from my house. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't send real MMS... why email? who cares about email when you want to send pictures to your friends who are driving around? No video? I was at a concert and even those free flip phones were taking video...and me with my cool phone...nope...hey I could still browse the web like nobody's business...oh wait, there wasn't wifi around so I had to opt for Edge...great. And the dealbreaker that made me finally get rid of my $600 brick....the NEW one is only $200. Sigh....disappointed apple fan. Least my Mac still works as advertised.

With all due respect, but you should figure out what is it you truly need, do you need a phone for watching movies and listening to music, browsing the net and modifying (using Jailbreak, because this is the only way to get most of the iPhone), OR do you need a clamshell that takes videos and browses 3G (for sinister amounts of money). I, for example, have an iPod Touch (exactly the same like iPhone, but without the camera and call functions) + my Sony Ericsson W200. :) Because this is what in need. And yes, AT&T kinda sucks, but the iPhone is worthed if this is what you need.

The Dare Does pretty much what you need, it sounds like. Not to throw any more fuel into the Apple Fire... I'm glad you at least gave it a shot and can now atest to the fact that it is indeed not THE BEST PHONE EVER.

People who say "With all due respect" usually don't mean it.

Well obviously you are one of many people who buy Mac products just because they look cool and everyone alse is buying them. I mean why would you say "at least my mac works as advertised" that sentence alone proves the kind of techological person you are. Intead of throwing coments about the iPhone, you should've been a smarted consumer by reasearching what the iPhone could/couldn't do for you. Get a life.

i agree Verizon Wireless is better. The LG Dares does what you want minus the Wifi, but who needs it when you have broadband speeds with EVDO Rev. 0/ Rev. A and it works practically everywhere.

well with all do respect its about having a cool phone is what was said above, the guy wanted a cool phone offerd by apple hyped up on at&t, If we bought phones based on what we needed there wouldnt be a huge deal about the iphone casue it doesnt do anything. No MMS msging??? what kind of phone doesnt send picture msgs? iphone is turn of the century touch technologyand just happeneds to miss the most universal features? I understand if they left out video capture, but not being able send pix? Oh wait, no voice dialing? Oh wait, no 3g until now? yeah icrap stinks, sorry to say it but a phone so "Powerfull" is really obsolite. If I were someone who wanted everything, Id go with Lg Voyager or Lg Dare by Verizon, touch screen and everything with it, including what at&t lacks, which is network coverage.

Im A VZW Employee and i have to tell you that when it comes to touchscreen technology nothing beats the iphone. the iPhoen has a hgihly responsive touchscreen unlike any of our phones, Voyager is a pressure screen, glyde is decent i was amazed but it does not match up to iphoen touchscreen, dare i have not tryed so cant comment. Overall iphones touch screen is much much better than iphone, also iphone is a PDA stylephone with 3rd party app support unlike any of our "Standard" touchscren phones which are just well Phones! I love our service but i really like the iphones touch screen, we unfortunatelly have nothign to match it.

finally someone who can make an intelligent comment. Who cares who you work for and what you are/are not loyal to. Make honest comments regardless like this guy and you will get more respect.

Are you kidding me? If you read one of Osukaru's lines , he wrote "... Overall iphones touch screen is much much better than iphone"... LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He not a Verizon employee ... he just plays one on TV...LMAO!!! What a joke. The Dare has an AMAZING touch screen and everything else the iPhone doesn't .... GPS, MMS, Verizon's coverage, video, and most important.... the option to get insurance. Bite on that Osu.

Dude trust me been workign for VZW as a call center employee in Albuquerque, NM center since december 06.... There is NO touchscreen taht matches to the iphones..... just admit it..... i had an iphone for 30 days and decided to return it since i didnt want to pay too much for it per month with only 2g when i have my employee discount with vzw..... all im saying is yes i work for vzw but i can admit that no touchscreen we offer atches to iphoens responsiveness..... most of our phones have a pressure screen (IE you ahve to put pressure on them to activate the screen) the iphone you just touch it and works pretty well...... I love VZW coverage, nothing beats that but when it comes to iPhone im sad we passed on it Also im not arguing about GPS, MMS, Coverage, VIdeo And INsurance...... YEs all our phones can get that but i mean you cant compare Dare to iPhone..... All im refering to is touchscreen amongst other things,

you may be right about the touchscreen being better but the Dare has way too many tihings working in its favor to make me sway towards the iPhone. yes the touchscreen isn't as good but it's still good. as mentioned in post #34 I'd rather have all the other features as well.

WOW, well if your looking at having sex with touch technology go get an iTouch, yes your right the touching is great yeah, the phone is fun, WHATS THE POINT?" ITS A PHONE! I dont know about anyone else, but I think a phone should have features but lets be honest the iphone is lacking major basic features while being the most expensive phone toy that plays music and you tube. well its a good thing that iphone incorperated 3 things but left out 10 others, I guess thats what happends when your a Ad junkie, ripping people off with a hyped phone released twice already and price dropped twice as well. this phone is as bad a George W. a whole lot of talk and no follow through, a large media circus.

I must say I've found no one besides that I can get more bars in more Places besides Verizon. Verizon's service is awesome Love it. As far as the Iphone. I have a Ipod Touch. I love it is the most awesome PDA ever. I use the WI-FI all the time I get all my email contacts calenders everything i need on a PDA I've got it . No camera but the Touch screen response and apps is awesome. Nothing VZW has compares. Great service good phones I also th enV2 Love it good phone good pictures as well. If the IPhone worked in my town I'd so have one. But it does not so I mixed it up VZW phone service Ipod Touch is my PDA.

The funny thing is if you watch AT&T advertisements they say their claim on more bars in more places is based on WORLDWIDE coverage. Little ridiculous considering 95% of people who have them only use them in the US....
