This one's going out to a whole 'nother tier audience and the apps they're putting out every single day now are just getting so varied that it's crazy.  I got mine yesterday and I had my assistant at work go stand in line at the Apple store at 6am Sunday morning to get it.  That's what time you've gotta get up there to get one and be in and out by noon and this is starting the 3rd week they've been on sale.  When we left there was a line all the way down that wing of the fucking mall.  People coming through the door of the thing looking like they just won a prize.  Together with the Bluetooth earpiece I got the 16 GB black one for $445 with taxes and I had it sold today (already opened and having been used for a day) for $725 to a guy on Craigslist who I was basically just testing to see if the wanted ads were serious and not just people trying to drive up the prices but he wanted me to meet him and him get it from me right that minute.  I thought about it but I'm not sure what getting the shit switched back over to my old one would entail so I said fuck it and just advised him on how best to get his own from Apple and get it hooked up right.  Remember that for every one of these things they're selling they're signing people up to 2 year contracts running around $120 bucks a month for everything you're gonna wanna have to run the thing right.  Also booming now is the secondary "Craigslist/Ebay" market with "unlocked" 1st generation iPhones for $275-$400 a piece being sold to all the hoodrats with no credit...the same crowd buying all the ringtones and toying with modding to do all sorts of crazy things with them are alot of the same ones that haven't been able to have one for lack of credit preventing them from getting an AT&T account.  I went into Fry's the other day and the guy helping me started talking about the iPhone when he saw me with mine and told me everybody working there was working on mods that were actually letting them run Limewire on the thing and remotely control their Windows Vista on their PC at home.  So when you upgrade to the new one now, if you had the old one, there are still people paying $300 for a decently used one and the best brand new one coming out right now retails for $299.  That's almost like getting it's upgraded edition for free.  People just buying them up in bulk for $300.  That Jailbreak program is really turning into a bit of a hood sensation right now.     

Gayer than owning an iPhone.

Remember the phone Hester used to wear on a chail around his neck? Tiny little thing, the size of a Pez dispenser.  ;D

I've had the 1st generation iPhone jailbroken and modded myself since around January. I bought it off somebody from Craigslist for $275. Modding the phone and running different programs on it takes a few seconds. All you have to do is just download a program from a long list that is offered through "installer". It's simple and doesn't take a nerd hacker to figure it out. Anyone with a basic knowledge how to operate a computer can do this.

I'm running T-Mobile on my Iphone and my plan is 600 anytime mintues with free nights and weekends, unlimited text and internet for $65 a month. If I chose to switch over to AT&T I would be paying well over $150 a month. So you do the math on which carrier is more economical. I guess by McFarland's definition I must be a hoodrat without any credit since I refuse to pay AT&T double the price for the same exact services I get through T-Mobile.

It's funny, even to this day I get random people coming up to me and asking me, "Dude is that an iPhone?" But I just hit a most muscular with my tongue sticking out right in front of them and they usually run away. 60% of the time it works everytime.

No my friend, but I will assure you that I will pull off something not yet seen before in a Mr. Getbig.  Think of all of my previous pictures and forget them.  I will look totally different this year and I don`t even care about winning or losing, I want to bring a certain sort of shock factor to all of it.

so you still have a contract for 2 years so you gonna keep paying that contract for 2 years while you have NO IPHONE?????  I can see you want to make money up front bro, but the contract (as for any cell phone contract) will out cost the phone itself even after you sold it for 725 bucks BTW on ebay they are going for 1Gs.....not 3Gs  ::)

no I would consider you the greatest single retard at GETBIG thinking your gonna pay 150 bucks/month when it cleary states att.com that for you plan about 600 minutes (they have 450 and 900, but lets say you get 900) the plan is only......wait for it......89.99/month with unlimited internet, free unlimited mobile to mobile att, among other little things and yeah sure add in the text unlimited for 20 bucks your still looking at what 110/month????  On top of that your on the 3G network which is faster than your tmobile network...thats if your near your tmobile network.  ::) ::)
