ATandT and Iphone The cheat Deal

I just arrived to the US from India. I was interested in buying an IPhone. I thought I am a customer who was excited to have an Iphone. But , from that moment till today I have forgotten that I am a customer. I feel like I am a begger running from one ATandT store to another. Then I tried to go to get it from a Mac Store, then comes the news that I need an appointment.

Everyone might be wondering - I am bluffing and when it is so easy to get an Iphone why am I doing this false blog. But step back and think. Do understand the whole picture before you hurry up and buy that Iphone easily. Try a new Iphone in 2009 and check with someone who had the 2G iphone. How would you feel if you are charged differently for searching through google or through live. The story seems similar. I need to pay differently if I want to have exchange on my iphone. The customer care rep says - Exchange data plan is different. The two year contract seems like a blood sucker.
I might be wrong. But if anyone can enlighten me, then comment on this blog. All I know for now is - I dont need an Iphone and wouldnt pick this up anytime in my life. I hate such gimmicks. This is useless. This is the beginning of the end of the AT&T and Iphone wedlock. I can sense that. If it continues - It should only in the US. Hope Iphone doesnt make any such wedding outside the US. Keep the 200$ temptation with you. I can ask my credit card to help me on that. But just dont cheat customers.
