Isn't that how you get the cheapest minute/plans? If thats the case, then yeah, it looks like the iPhone is cheaper for my situation. If you already have a mobile plan and do not intend to switch, then the freerunner is the way to go. . .<br><br>just my 2 cents. <br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: ian douglas <ian.douglas@iandouglas.com><br>To: List for Openmoko community discussion <community@lists.openmoko.org><br>Sent:
