iPhone - Look Before You Leap

Source: www.voip-news.com

As customers swarmed to get their digits on the latest product offering from Apple, some stayed away.  Rightly so?  You be the judge.  Recently Forbes.com ran a piece listing five reasons why you might want to steer clear of the Apple iPhone.  For me, the price tag was enough, but for those that need more convincing, you might want to take a read. 

In the meantime, the highlights:

- Network Speed

- Battery Life

- Software

- Multi-Touch Screen

- Contracts Galore
