IPHONE - Total Cost of Ownership: Up to $5,914.76 (.jpg)

Do you really want one of these? look at the cost Comparison.


This quick and dirty spreadsheet indicates the total cost of iPhone ownership over a 24 month contract, excluding likely extras such as accessories and hidden charges. ....... Here is the whole article http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/0...-total-co.html

How accurate could those stats really be though??? They aren't even taking into consideration how many turtlenecks an iPhone owner will likely purchase each year...playtime.

And according to an AT&T rep I spoke to today, you can't port your current phone number to your new Iphone, you must get a new phone number. I am way over due for a new phone, and it looks like I will get the BB curve instead. $199.00 right now from At&T.

That's pretty stupid. you need a phone plan anyway, so how does switching to an iphone cost you extra $60+/month?

Here's a good article I stumbled onto earlier. Basically says that the plans aren't that expensive relatively speaking...

That's assuming that the battery will last you 2 years, or that it'll be covered under warranty for that long!

I pay 50 bucks a month for my new cell-phone and that mostly covers the ring/sms fee's too, sometimes it's ~70 but usually 50, dont need more....

But the iPhone seems cool though

$6,000 is a small price to pay to be pretentious.

That doesn't take into account the dough you'll save on blowjobs from hookers by simply flashing your leet phone in front of all the superfly ladies.

The rep you spoke to was wrong... You can switch your phone number to the AT&T plan.

As for the chart.. I mean your paying for a minute plan no matter what cellphone service your using or what phone you buy. $59 for 450 minutes, unlimited mobile to mobile and *unlimited* data, is reasonable.. You factor out the cost of any phone based on what you pay for service over two years and its going to make you say WTF. I dont get it.

Look at the comparisons... iPhone is cheaper or about the same TCO as many other smartphone options...

where can you get unlimited data and 450 min. with AT&T for $59.95?

truth is this is the first time the telephone companies are happy that they do not have to reduce the price of the handset to gain a customer. They are finally able to turn a profit rather than subsidize the cost.


If you factor the cost of a phone with service over 2 years and factor in the subsidized cost, you will come out ahead a minimum of $275

You cant consider the monthly plan the over all cost of the phone, like you wouldnt with your home phone.

That is what the starting plan in your chart offers. 450 Minutes, unlimited mobile 2 mobile, and unlimited data.

Engadget did a good comparison, breaking down TCO for many different smartphones and plans. iPhone compares really well.

Jesus I need to stop posting in iPhone threads
