Personally I wouldn't recommend buying an Iphone. I don't care for apple's products. But, you can go into any At&T provider and buy one. You can search by location by typing www.cingular.com You'll be re-directed to the proper website. When the conversion was made during the buy out from bell south/cingular, they didn't bother re-naming the domain they've used previously. just re-direct you which is cheeper then re-hosting.

I don't think I would ever buy an iphone. Sure it has lots of apps, but you can't do some things with it like you cane the computer. For one thing, it doesn't have a flash player, as apple won't allow it, and I don't know why that is, but without a flash player, there are some things you can't do. I just bought a samsung omnia 2, and I really like it as it has a flash player, so I can play streaming videos. I haven't tried to play games online yet though. I was told I can do that, but not sure it I can, as it might not have the saem flash player or java that my computer has. Anyway, I have been playing around with it today, and not doing much in here, as i needed to set it up, and I did have problems at first getting online, but I jsut changed some settings and now I can. It is a very good phone, and I am glad that I bought it. Take care, and have a very good day.

floridia, If you are really keen on the iPhone but not the network provider, then I would advise that you wait for the other network or rather your preferred network's arrival before you actually sign up for it. Currently, the exclusive which AT&T is just temporary and the other networks will arrive in due time. I am advocating a wait here because anything other than signing the set with another carrier and miss out on the full functionality of the iPhone. Also, I am wondering if you are being too quick or having a fad urge to get the iPhone because there are just some shortcomings with the phone that one should not ignore. I hope you've learned and read some of the adverse feedbacks. If it is at all possible, please take a look at the Motorola Droid or HTC Android which are really quite iPhone equivalent or some may declare - a much better choice. Have a nice day.

floridia, Thank you for this flattering award and I am just glad that my post here had helped you in some ways. Out of concern, I'm wondering if you have gotten the iPhone yet. If you've not and you're still in 2 minds about it, then please read this comprehensive review which I have provided here. Once again, thanks. iPhone review: http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-3gs-16gb/4505-6452_7-33674172.html?tag=mncol;lst#cnetReview
