there is loads of pro's and con's. I see there is also new laws trying to be passed on GSM phones and compatability and contract requirements. Isn't this similar to the Moicrosoft monopoly years ago?? I think cell phone useage is going to be reformed....and a big push is due to these iphones and the limitation to the AT&T network. Apple may have to start letting other providers sell iphones...
