OK, seriously, you're saying that a MS-based device is too expensive and that's why people don't want it? And how much will it run you to buy an iPhone?
Here's how much it would cost me:
Iphone itself: $200
Added AT&T charge (I currently pay $100/mo for 3 phones and unlimited internet on my device): $30/mo
Total length of iPhone contract: 2 years
So 2 years x $30/mo = $720
Plus iPhone itself = $920
So, for me to simply own an iPhone (not including any downloaded apps or media) would cost me upwards of a thousand freaking dollars! Over and above what I currently pay AT&T for unlimited internet on my HTC Fuze.
So please enlighten us as to how an MS-based device is not economical...
