Free Iphones!

If you are in Japan. Apparently it's a big flop over there.

that's because the iphone sucks.

I certainly don't have 80+ dollars a month to kill on a phone that is too small to browse the web in any sort of productive manner. The only thing that's nice is access to email. But phones have only had that for a decade or so.

I would get one if I didn't have to leave Verizon to do so.....I use my iPod Touch all the time, and can browse the web easily on it.

Fixed that for you.....Verizon and Sprint both have CDMA networks - can't use a GSM phone on a CDMA network.

Lots of American products just dont fly there. Xbox 360 will sit on shelves while PS3's fly. There is a strong desire for domestic product and that ranges from MP3 players to cars, even if said product might not nessessarly be better then comparable import product.

Imagine that, a country that takes pride in buying domestic products.

I love my iPhone, and for the last month that's what I do most of my browsing on because I don't have interweb at home anymore. Definitely worth paying the money to AT&T instead of the cable company. I was afraid of switching from verizon to AT&T too, but turns out the service actually has better coverage so far. The dead spots I used to have no longer exist
