iPod ROKR purchase

do you have to get a plan to get the ROKR. i alreayd have cingular and i want a new phone, but not a contract.

why would you want a service-less phone? It's a better deal to buy an actual iPod if you want the ROKR for the music.

It looks like you have to get a 2 year contract. Believe me, in 2 years, you'll be hating that first-gen ROKR.

yep

probably right about hating it. does anyone know if you can make a song a ringtone bc that would be awesome!

I'd imagine so since you've been able to do that with most recent SEs and Nokias - obviously not iTMS ones but any other iTunes tracks worked fine.

I don't think you have to sign a service contract. The guys from Engadget and iLounge both bought them without signing a contract. I think the price is like $350 though. You should go to or call your local Cingular store to find out for sure.
