I thought the iPhone was an over sell until a friend at work was given one by his father-in-law who bought it from the states and so was locked to AT&T.
He jailbroke it and unlocked it but then did the OS upgrade and that was it - no phone. He loved it so much he went out and bought a 3GS model. Asked do I want to buy it and I said yes as I was interested in using it as an iPod.
Was seriously impressed by video and pdf reading ability and also the aps but it was crippled because no phone.
Anyway - joy of joys- there is now software to unlock the iPhone. I tried to do this legitimately but Apple said contact AT&T and AT&T said contact Apple - after the run around the Apple guy said see if a 3rd party could do it. But looking on the web there were a lot of scams so I waited 6 months and now it is an iPhone.
Its a great device as a phone camera apps etc etc, but all of the functions are so well integrated that I love surfing the web or reading a book with it. Makes plane flights easy by watching a video or listening to music.
Greatest device ive ever used and with Starmap Pro can use it at the scope. Just want BT with StarMap Pro and it would be great to control the scope.
