I have always fancied an iPhone since it became available here in the country. What has stopped from me from getting one is the ridiculously expensive plans that it came with. I ended up buying an iPod Touch 32GB instead, I was only interested on the music and video part of the iPhone so I settled with the iPod touch. This seems to be a much better route.
Later did I realize that the plans available also come with an iphone insurance making them rather expensive. I guess that’s probably worth it after it in case it’d get stolen or something like that then you’d have some sort of insurance to claim.
