i love my htc hero!
Carriers subsidize the cost of the device upfront, but they also lock you in for a 1-2 year contract, based on the contract you sign your cost for the device varies. If you cancel your contract you pay an early termination fee, so I don’t see HOW the carriers lose money. Did I miss something? Granted I was multi tasking while listening to your video.
I wouldn’t use an iphone if someone gave it to me for free. Android is blowing that shinny piece of shit out of the water
you guys need to open your eyes and realize that android has stolen the popularity of the pda world. in the past year came up with,the g1 ,htc my touch, driod from htc and the htc hero from sprint.Now tell me what in the hell has apple came out with beside that silly ass phone ? plus I heard htc are going to start coming out with phones that have flash player enable aka adobe for your internet browser.and believe me its not rumor because i have the htc hero n it does have flash plyer
lol wow u fail.. the sholes is now called the motorola droid for verizon
my env 3 is old now
I think the idea of allowing manufacturers and not carriers to compete with each other to drive the cost down is a great one. Their isn’t enough competition between manufacturers, and your idea will allow that. thank you for the great idea and keep up the good work.
You mean its not commonly known that phones cost alot? Didnt know that
Which is prepaid.
Every company looses money on phones on every phone they sell. The only time the don’t loose money is when they sell a phone at full retail price.
If I thought that I wouldn’t be sued into oblivion for breaching agreements that I signed when I was employed with Verizon or AT&T, I definitely would. Although people would probably say that it’s a fake invoice, and that phones really only cost $20. Glad at least a few people out there know the truth though.

hey Angelo Rodriguez, You say that the majority of people don’t understand that carriers lose money when they subsidize handsets. I find that it is very true the people are not aware of this. But why not post up some official documents like cost of goods sold or some type of internal invoice so the public will know that these carriers are losing money. I know we can all browse through their financial statements, but it doesn’t really provide the break down of each individual sold phones and etc.
Hey iGreenBerry I was just going through all of the comments but I found it funny that you would even think that Apple would “Stick it to them” and not give them the iPhone when its a business world, there is no hard feelings when its all about making money.
Really well i was leaning to get verizon until i started using my friends verizon envy and the service is horrible and i live in the part of texas were their is supposedly alot of coverage thanks for the advice appreciate it bro .
Ya but thing is, is that the ppl who have the money to do do that are usually too cheap to do that. And AT&T doesn’t care if ppl buy another phone from a different company, as long as they still get paid their share. A lot of people are going to be disappointed with the droid because it’s pretty much the same as any other android phone
its dont matter people are just like me i paid 350 to breat 2 phones from sprints to verizon so that wont stop people and if thats the case people will droped ti to the lowest plan and let it set i have seen that before too people get what they want bro face it even more so if they have money

its a simple answer. AT&T will raise the cancelation fee = no one canceling their iphone service
Dude i’ve had every phone provider, i aint loyal to no one. Truthfully, i dont give a shit if the rest of the world loves verizon if someone were to ask me which carrier to go with the last company i would recommend would be a company that has treated me like shit
Your point works against verizon as well because i can type “verizon sucks” and get a lot of results.

so many true statements all cariers have there weeknesses and stangths. go verizon for having a great network and go att for have a great phone. The key is a network verizon is heading in the right direction great 3g coverage and low drop call rate % and churn rate. there is reason for this. Verizon wireless can’t make everyone happy and no wireless will ever do that. josh vzw

Apple is already ironing out a deal with Vodafone (which owns nearly half of Verizon Wireless) for the iPhone 3GS (check out vodafone’s website if you want confirmation), and Vodafone is the largest wireless provider in the world (excluding China mobile, which is government owned). iPhone on Verizon will just be a matter of time. Apple wants to maximize their returns, and they’re not stupid.
It’s interesting to see how passionate people are about their carrier. Personally, I use Verizon Wireless because I prefer their network, but will admit that the iPhone is the hottest phone on the market. Keep in mind though, for anyone bashing Verizon…they have been ranked #1 wireless telecom company by consumer reports for 9 years straight.
