[Electronics-talk] The iPhone

[Linda Bloodsaw]

Is his current phone part of the contract?  Can he just get another phone, even if he has to pay a little more?  How much would it cost if he cancelled his current contract in order to get an iPhone?  I have never had a cell phone plan, so I do not have a clue.  I think if it would be the same cost as buying an iPod, which starts at $199, then it might be worth just getting the phone.  Just a thought.
