The only real gripes a person can have about this, all are software related.

Hasn't the world bitched about something that can be easily changed long enough?

Quite making the "I'm just a consumer" argument. I was too, I evolved.

5 years ago, I still ran Windows too.

Linux has been ported to the iPhone. Android and OpenMoko you blather? Where is the installed base for public development?

Yeah, shut up.

The iPhone is awesome for reasons that have noting to do with the product itself. The software is a prison, and the hardware is marginal at best. but if you're not LAZY, it can be bent to your will.

Hey Eric,

Wake up and open your ears and eyes. Iraq has nothing to do with oil. We have not touched one drop of Iraq's oil and if and when we do it will be paid for like any other country.If that were true would we have had $4.14 gasoline throughout the summer? Iraq was confronted to help protect and prevent radical Islam, and their supporters like Saddam, from contributing to further terrorist attacks.

If everyone thought like Eric from Texas people would stop buying things businesses would shut down then we would really be in trouble. So don't knock the people that are buying things atleast there keeping things going. Grow up

I'm pretty excited about the move from Apple stores to Walmart. Smart move from Apple – Walmart stores are everywhere, vs. the few loations of the Apple stores.

How sad of all of you….The country is in recession, our kids are dying in a worthless war caused by the USA and it's thirst for oil and all of you have nothing better to talk about, but the iphones being sold in Walmart.

By being arrogant is how we ended up in this hole…OPEN UP YOUR EYES AMERICA!!! the world does not rotate around your material possesions

I have an iPhone, so I can appreciate all of the ignoant talk by Windows users. Know that there is another inovation to be announced soon and Apple is clearing the shelves. The next generation of computer/phone will be available everywher now that Walmart is allowing Microsoft to start packing up its strangling and shortsighted hold in the computer market place.

dude……. its pretty simple really…. iphone is not selling as its production is doing….. so what those guys really thinking is saving their butts from over production and losing money from lack of sales… who on earth would want an over priced product and tie itself with att? even if they lower its price… if dont move out from being exclusive with att? the deal with walmart wont work

I am curious to see what the first bill is going to look like. It is a smart move though for Wal-Mart, considering they get everything from China for under half price.
