Plus, the Chocolate has a memory card slot so you can switch out 4GB cards and a user replaceable battery. No, I'm not saying it's a better device than the iPhone, just saying it's an option for those that just want a phone/music player. Phone is $99, 2-year contract is $1,200 = $1,299

It might surprise you that the iPhone on AT&T is actually cheaper than the Motorola Q or a Blackberry, and probably cheaper than this melting unit. Add the WHOLE cost and check for yourself phone + service plan! See here: http://www.reelsmart.com/2007/06/27/is-the-iphone-really-expensive-lets-take-a-look/ Not really more reasonable.
