Phones don't have shyt to do with status, I just wanted to see what other people thought...most my age bytch about it but I have no problem with it
That means youll have to shell out a little more for the iPhone since it wont be subsidized. When the phones go on sale June 22, a 16GB iPhone 4S will cost $500 and an 8GB iPhone 4 will cost $400. Before your jaw drops at those prices, take into consideration how cheap Crickets plan is: $55 per month for unlimited voice, SMS and data. Calling the data unlimited is a little misleading, however: you must stay within Crickets fair usage policy of 2.3GB of data a month.
That's a good deal Im paying 90 a month on my grandfathered unlimited AT&T plan

that's pathetic. you need a phone to "fill like a boss"? your self esteem is in the ICU and it's not lookin good.
if anyone is upset over this, their brain has gone haywire. simple as that.
Hopefully idiots will stop thinking the iPhone is a "high end" super exclusive piece of tech. I am not sure what those dumbasses at t-mobile are doing, they need the iPhone to hopefully stay in business.
Really though, I have said it before and will say it again...people really need to stop looking at pre-paid companies the "broke" way.
Those people on cricket will now be enjoying everything a at&t, sprint, and Verizon iphone customer does for almost half the price per month

Smh eh if you have a phone as a status symbol you lost. Sure it's nice to have a good phone but seriously how is someone else having the same phone as you going to negatively effect you?
If anything it might help you since now iPhone will hopefully have a bigger market share

I hate cricket to be honest, I had a bad experience. If it works for you tho...crazy good deal. If they were only able to grab something like the galaxy nexus or galaxy s III

I DO Not Sow
I'm having a hard time seeing someone with cricket dropping 500 or 400 dollars for a phone....even if it's a iPhone.....anyways I got the iPhone and I could care less how many people have it

I completely agree with you on the pre-paid thing. There's NO fukkING REASON to be paying all the money that most do when you can take advantage of the same network for half or less.
Euros have been doing this for years. Buy your phone outright and take it to whatever carrier you want to use it on. And its easier for them because they've been on GSM- none of that CDMA shyt we have here. Maybe once LTE is the norm, things might lean more in that direction. The thing about it is that w/ no contracts, the carriers actually have to COMPETE for your business because you're not locked in. They fukk up, and they're in danger of you leaving. With competition, consumers win.
As far as the iPhone on T-Mo....it costs billions that T-Mobile doesn't have and they'd need to make a special version to work on their frequency. Apple's not going to do that w/o a commitment to X amount of units and T-Mobile would rather put what little money they have towards their network- LTE.
It's not the end all and be all phone and Sprint hasn't even turned a profit selling it yet. They recently said that the earliest they might is 2015 with as much money as they had to commit to Apple to even carry the sh!t. That doesn't make sense for T-Mobile. And a LOT can change between today and 3 years from now. Hell, look at the phones we were using 3 years ago. I was on a blackberry pushing a fukking cursor around a webpage.
Cricket is selling the phone unsubsidized and Apple prolly gave them a small volume deal of some sort. It's apples (no pun intended) and oranges.
