Short Version: Samsung BlackJack, 10,800 minutes, 120MB Data Transfer, $1,440 USD in a 2-year contract.

Apple iPhone, minutes on demand, data transfer on demand, $640 USD. And Apple controls the whole iPhone experience.

And that iPhone experience can cost a lot more than 1400 in two years depending on usage patterns. go phone prepaid gets way too expensive if you're going to use the phone more than occasionally. Data on demand is even worst, at $10 per megabyte. If you use the phone to connect your laptop to the Net, expect a huge bill.

We need 2 kind of phones;

One smart phone with all the bells and whistles for the corporate dudes and geeks. Price it then at $600

One simple phone with iPod, simple contact features to sync to your mac and 4gig. That one should be no more than $300 for the soccer moms and people who just want simplicity.

There should be a third. A phone no more than $150 that has 1 GB or less of space. I don't care about the iPod features b/c my 20 GB iPod already has all of my music. I just want a slick, apple-designed phone with apple-designed software that connects to my mac as easily as an iPod. (The software is the important part. I like the design of my Razr, but the software just sucks.)

And I don't think Apple will ever let any company put their logos on their Phone. We didn't see it with Intel macs, and I don't think we'll see it here.
