subsidised? Nah

"The phone is subsidised through the call plan"

I don't think you can get a subsidised iPhone, and I think Apple insists operators do not subsidise the iPhone. If the handsets are not subsidised, then surely it's wrong for them to be locked to any network. Like you buy a new desktop computer at full price, not subsidised, but you are only allowed to use a specific ISP for your internet connection - now how is that ok?

It's funny how fanboys suggest people who don't want the iPhone must not have seen one yet... I've played with one and - shock - I still don't want it as my main phone and definitely am not paying for one. I don't want a heavy, touch screen, 2.5G phone that cannot use 3rd party apps, that I will worry about dropping or scratching every time I take it out. Network locked or not. On the other hand... I like the idea of the Touch... if it can run 3rd party apps.

As for the $1m damages suit, I reckon it's just a publicity stunt.

MPG and range?

Hahaha, I wonder what the mpg or range of the kart is. Wouldn't like having to refuel every couple of laps round the track. Seems strange why the seller doesn't fire up the kart for a snap, or try to get a mph reading using a gps receiver. Sounds fishy, you gotta be mad to bid without seeing it real life first.
