Now I understand and it makes a lot of sense. <br><br>As for the Ferrari have you try to go over 100km/h in a Ferrari with Canadian Tires? Well me neither, but I'm sure it's not safe lol. Also at first I had written: "It's like buying an electric car with only the cord that plugs into the wall, but no battery" lol. Ah! Now I understand and it makes a lot of sense.

It's like buying a Ferrari and not being able to drive it over 100 km/h. Is there a point in purchasing a car with that limitation? Hell Ya There IS! ;)<br><br>There was a series of busted devices that led me to the iPhone. First, my "beloved" razr was dead, my plan was up soon and I needed a new phone. 199.00 is about the same price i'd pay for any other "phone". Second, my iPod has been dead for 6 months, so I desperately needed a new one. Finally, I'm a freelancer who works from home so 90%+ of my time is on wifi. I'll probably eventually get a dataplan, but so far, it's been working out pretty good :) But, ask me again in two weeks after I get addicted to a couple apps and you might have a completely different answer...lol.

With my iPhone I can now access my cloud data anywhere anytime. If I add a contact in my iPhone, boom it's on my Mac! (and vice versa) Someone sends me an e-mail, ping! got it anywhere! Especially here in the Ottawa region the (free) wifi coverage is almost null, 3G is a blessing. It's like buying a Ferrari and putting cheap Canadian Tire tires on it :) I'm sorry but I don't understand, why did you get an iPhone if you will only use 5% of its purpose.
