- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -23/+87it sucks that the new commenting system ran away all the intellegent posters on digg and we are left with prepubescent males.
- BobMysterioso, on 10/11/2007, -3/+66I have adblock on, I only saw a clown. I'll assume thats not the "chick" he was talking about, but hey - maybe it was.
- rejoined, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30Link to the original story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070630/tc_nm/iphone_att_dc_3
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+36Glad I'm not the only one that's been thinking that for the past 2 weeks.
- dweeb79, on 10/11/2007, -6/+32Its so nice of AT&T to be selling to people with bad credit. These people are most likely so high in debt they just can't control themselves on what they buy and AT&T is saying "how do we capitalize on the people who are broke"
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+31It really ***** sickens me how you people go out like a bunch of ***** sheep and eat this ***** up.
You do realize the provider is AT&T, right?
And you DO realize what AT&T did, right? http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/att/
You're perfectly okay giving them your money knowing what they did? Or let me guess, "Who cares, I want the IPHONE!!!!"
No wonder these corporations continue to operate this way. They ***** all over you and you people create hype and continue to buy into their services. - capran, on 10/11/2007, -4/+19I turned adblock off to see what the big deal was. I still don't. Then again the ads seem to be on a rotating basis or something, so maybe he saw a hotter chick then I'm seeing now. I took a look at the snorg photo gallery, but, quite frankly, I didn't see any especially attractive girls. Just looked like your typical college folks getting drunk and acting goofy for the camera. Then again, I'm 32, and not drunk, maybe that's why.
- Snarfy, on 10/11/2007, -6/+21"Credit checks weren't to penalize potential iPhone buyers with bad credit, but to draw in their business"
If you have bad credit wtf are you doing buying a $600 cell phone? - KSUdesigner, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Not necessarily true. I have horrible credit but my only actual debt is my tuition loans. Back when I was 19 I let the credit card debt, and some monthly utility bills, get out of control. I have since paid off those debts but that doesn't fix your credit score overnight. Yes most people with bad credit are usually pretty far in debt, but it's not always the case. The credit system is pretty retarded if you ask me. It's been 4 years since I've had anything past due. Just applied for a mortgage loan last week and was denied due to my low credit score, even though I've made all payments to everybody on time for 4 years, with no current past due debt. A word of advice to all you young ones, don't let your debts get out of control. It will ***** you up longer than you think.
- gregrich, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17Does anyone see the irony in all this.... when the Steve's used to make Blue Boxes to hack the phone system and make free phone calls.
Now a little bit advice for those of you new to Apple; never buy a v1 of an Apple product, within a week of a v1 device coming out there will be 6 web sites dedicated to tracking some bug / flaw and within 2 months a class action law suit over some bug / flaw. 6 months after the initial introduction v2 will be out, this model will fix all the bugs / flaws on the v1 device as well as be faster and have the twice the capacity for the same price of the v1 device (which is now discontinued) [word of note if you can wait till the v3 device you will have more models to choose from with a model that essentially a v2 in the v3 form and $100 cheeper that the v1 device]
Now for me I am going to wait for the 16Gb, 3G version. I can deal with the $600 price tag but there is no way I am going to pay $600 for a device that only uses EDGE and only has 8GB of memory. - GruffPelt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Rates follow the AT&T "Pick Your Plan" rates plus the standard iPhone data rate; to wit:
$49.99 per month — 200 Anytime minutes, NO N&W minutes, NO M2M minutes, 200 SMS mesages, Unlimited Data
$59.99 per month — 300 Anytime minutes, 1000 N&W minutes, NO M2M minutes, 200 SMS mesages, Unlimited Data
$69.99 per month — 400 Anytime minutes, Unlimited N&W minutes, NO M2M minutes, 200 SMS mesages, Unlimited Data
$89.99 per month — 650 Anytime minutes, Unlimited N&W minutes, Unlimited M2M minutes, 200 SMS mesages, Unlimited Data
Note that a credit or debit card is required (just like all "Pick Your Plan" accounts). If you want these rates, you can skip the credit check by asking specifically for them; AT&T reps are "supposed" to know how to get the correct credit code for you to enter into iTunes. - vertinox, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Yeah, I only saw a clown too.
- theoallardyce, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Working with the phone networks was Apples worst decision. I think Jobs is going to regret the whole deal because lets face it, mobile phone networks are all ***** *****.
Apple should become their own network, it doesn't matter how they do it - rent air time, transmitters, whatever, as long as the customer doesn't have to deal with those guys ever. - meez, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12THIS JUST IN ! :: That joke was not funny.
- odinfire, on 10/11/2007, -6/+14I simply find it amazing that people will pay $600.00 for a cell phone and get themselves roped into a two year contract when they already own the phone. America the beautiful! God bless its fools.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+16Blog Spam/plagiarism at it's finest.
This should be illegal, if you are getting any type of revenue from just reading somebody article and summing it up to make money. - missingnoh4x, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10But how will you know whether the snorg girl is alive or de - Wait, I think I'm getting confused here.
- AnonymousCow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I think you answered your own question.
- fuckingusername, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14I heard the plans go from 65 basic to 240 full blown.
I don't know about you but if I need to do more then just call someone Ill take a laptop............ - RAiNsTorm, on 10/11/2007, -13/+19I'm still waiting for winter, when all of you iPhone drones realize you can't dial or answer your phone with gloves on. Good luck fumbling around, I'll just flip mine open and use the voice dialing as always...
- Radan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Where there any iPhones involved in the bombing? If not, that story is irrelevant.
- smileydude, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I think the minimum bill is about $60 for people with a contract, and $50 a month for those on the pick a plan prepaid with unlimited data added.
- egrumling, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Well, here in the US they'd need to get spectrum. That means going to the FCC. The FCC (thanks to congress) auctions spectrum these days, thus insuring that an upstart company (which APPL would be in this case) has almost 0% chance of acquiring the necessary critical mass needed to build out a network.
Now, if they rent spectrum from an incumbent provider, guess what? You have to use their network, with all their legacy provisioning systems, spotty 3G support, etc. And, you will have to deal with revenue sharing, user support, etc. Much better to just let the wireless provider worry about it. Notice how the only complaints are the keyboard ("But you'll get used to it!"), and AT&T's provisioning system and the slow, slow speed of the 2.5G network ("AT&T SUCKS!"). Jobs is a marketing genius, if only because he actually uses the stuff and knows how much better things could be. But he's not going to change a communications infrastructure that's been built (over 30 years) to keep spectrum expensive and Hoover as much money from your wallet as possible.
Now, if they introduce a WiFi only version, with H.323 and/or Skype out support, I'll stand in line for a few days. - jeffeb3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7they actually start at 60... wait, I don't want to tell you the rest, it's really ***** easy to look it up yourself.
- albiniak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6yah, nice "work" getting "teh scoop" engadget.
- j1a1g1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I wonder what they have to pay per month for the service.
- brutalentropy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I have bad credit and I make $20/hr. Not rich by any means, but I'm definitely not poor.
Don't get divorced guys (or married to begin with for that matter), it'll ***** your credit hard... which is about the only hard ***** you'll be getting. - andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4... Digg is exactly that. Well, with the Digg twist, which makes it more legit. However, my point is, there are countless sites desgined to consolidate news from many sources on one topic onto one website. The whole point of these websites is to be able to organize and find the news content you want and present it to you in an interesting fashion. If it was originally from Yahoo News, would I have seen it? No. These sites MUST link to the original article to be acceptable, however.

- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7"I have nothing to hide, I don't care if they watch me."
You are the prime example of the very problem plaguing this country. - airwalkery2k, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I thought it was the posting of the sacred hex code that drove them off. ...at least the last time somebody complained about childish comments...
- estee065, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Enough with meaningless comments!!! What kind of perspective were searching for on digg? Dummy.
- TechCF, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Just give me a way to use the phone with foreign sim cards and not having to be a AT&T customer
- hbweb500, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8http://www.snorgtees.com/images/BigDeal_F_Fullpic_1.jpg
thats snorg tees girl - jackspack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5yes, so you can watch your iphone take days to download a torrent.
- isnthatheway, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow, thank you. I had never seen her due to my (well-loved) noscript.
Heh sounds like she had her license revoked, no? I can sympathize with that one.. - andburn1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Gotta say, that is just not financially sound. Maybe AT&T should just get their ***** act together.
- MoFoKeR, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I think they are referring to Alice snorg girl
interview she did
http://jalopnik.com/cars/who.s-that-t_bird%3F/interview-with-a-snorg-girl-263973.php - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Only useful if you plan on using your $600 phone for a couple of months. Otherwise, you will be paying more than the $175 cancellation fee in total over the months.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"Don't get divorced guys (or married to begin with for that matter), it'll ***** your credit hard... which is about the only hard ***** you'll be getting."
I wish i could digg you twice for that comment...right in the middle of it! - DonCarcharo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I have bad credit and virtually no debt outside of my mortgage and school loans. Our neighbors have terrible credit, no debt whatsoever and minimal expenses. That's because they can't finance shiny new things so instead they purchase them in cash. Credit is a funny thing, once it goes bad it's awfully hard to repair it. But one thing is for certain, not all people with bad credit are broke or even financially strapped.
- Mambo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Interesting. I never knew the "I " came from Anchor Man. I always thought it was talking about LAMP.
- audioscience, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Bad credit doesn't necessarily mean you don't have money. It just means you don't know how to manage it.
- barrimon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3bitter
- KMye, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"Can you touch your elbows behind your back?"
Awesome, I'm keeping that one. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Is all of AT&T like that? Or just for the poor credit folks....
Those rates suck! - kenvsryu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2***** gizmodo spam.
- Kazbaeden, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3There's no room to argue with that; you can't use the iPhone with gloves.
- P5ycHo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Pfffff.... So many words.... You could have just said that you are a digger.
