iPhone 3G and AT&T

I finally got my hands on an iPhone 3G the other day at the Apple Store in Austin and I have to say I was impressed with all the features as well as the speed of their 3G network. I am still kind of up in the air about paying a few hundred bucks for a phone then getting hooked into a two year plan. Honestly, I don't want that kind of commitment to AT&T (the worst network in my opinion). I used AT&T back in the day and had nothing but issues with my old cell and would never go back to them.

That isn't to say that an iPhone 3G wouldn't be a great investment, but I wish there was more network options. I suspect that the 3G network would be much improved over the Frankensteinian networks of old, but I just can't see crawling back into bed with AT&T.

I am still shocked at just how heavy the iPhone 3G is even in comparison to last years iPhone. I honestly think that you could crack open nuts with this thing. Personally, I'd only tenderize meat with it, but I suppose you could do both. Anyway, it is pretty cool, so if you aren't afraid of AT&T go ahead and pick one up.
