However, it was the Top 5 reasons why you probably shouldn't by the new iPhone4. "Yeah, God might carry one, but you can skip the iPhone4"

1. No 4G. Despite it's name, it only used the slower 3G networks.
So does Verzion.
2. No longer unlimited data. If you change carriers, you're going to pay.
Assuming one is not already an iPhone user. Plus 98% of iPhone users use LESS then what the highest limited data plan offers. It's no big deal.
3. No Verizon, still. Even CNET says, AT&T sucks.
Haven't had any problems.
4. Cancellation fines increased to $325.
Ok. Point?
5. The new phone doesn't change the playing field or save the world. Apple over hyped this phone. Many of these upgrades are playing catchup with the competition.
Like???? And if it's catching up with the competition, why is the competition less popular?
Seems like a weak argument to me.
Last time checked Apples stock is doing just fine. Most people who want a smartphone don't want it for the things Blackberry's or old style windows based systems can do.

You don't have to like the iPhone, but they had to stop pre-orders at 600,000 on the 15th. I'd say plenty of people like them just fine.
