My wife and I went for new cell phones, just simple cell phones(I did any way). We both left the store with Droids.

Also, Apple is still plugging away very happily on AT&T with sales, with the recent 4th generation phone leaked today with pictures it seems they do not need to worry about being on multiple networks here in the US.

In other countries they must because of legal reasons, but also in other countries almost 90% of cell networks are GSM so that means one phone, one solution, no headaches.

Confirmed: Apple and AT&T signed five-year iPhone exclusivity deal -- but is it still valid? -- Engadget

Unless there is a loop hole Apple has found since 2007 (which I doubt), there are two more years left on this contract between Apple & AT&T, keep waiting.

I have a free iphone through my job and just upgraded my personal Blackberry to a Droid Incredible on the Verizon network. I like the Droid better; it's faster and does everything I need it to do flawlessly.

My HTC Incredible has a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor and 512MB RAM.

Read this article. It basically says Apple extended their contract with AT&T for another 6 months due to the release of the Ipad and the need for a 3G network. Sucks that verizon and apple cant get their ducks in a row..

iClarified - Apple News - AT&T Extended iPhone Exclusivity Through iPad Data Plan?
I could see that, and Apple win with the exclusive (even though some do not see it).

The whole subsidizing of phones is crap anyway. Let me buy the phone and pick my carrier. </end rant>

I hope the rumors for the front facing camera are true. iPhone + front facing camera + Skype = EPIC.
