is it just me or was this a BAD BAD move on apples part? the iphone only working with cingular for atleast the first two years. to only support one provider in my opinion is dumb.
Cingular probably paid apple a lot of money for the exclusive rights to it, and they wouldn't demand to cripple the phone like verizon would. Sales will still be very high for a first generation specialty product, and apple will be doing very well with the money from cingular.is it just me or was this a BAD BAD move on apples part? the iphone only working with cingular for atleast the first two years. to only support one provider in my opinion is dumb.

I guess that's just how it's done in the cell phone world. Most phones are with only 1 provider for a year or 2. And even then (I'm thinking of the motorola v60 series and razr), when they are with multiple carriers, some carrier's versions are better than the other. I think Verizon had the razr 1st, but when cingular got it, verizon got an updated version with more bells&whistles than cingular's version. they may be even now...I'm talking a few years ago.
It's been my experience that they are all pretty much equal...you trade one problem for another. Who's signal is better just depends on where you are.
Now, with iPhone...that is one sleek interface. I'm really impressed with Apple. They know how to design a GUI. Not sure I like their new name - Apple, Inc. Now its too much like the record label. All their products are still computers or computer software/peripherals, even the phone. It's a specialized computer, but it's still a computer.
