@fujii13: I work for AT&T. I can't root the phone I show customers every day. I'd like 2.2 too thanks.

@Soaring: Yeah, because no smartphones (Droid X, Samsung Fascinate, Samsung Captivate (AT&T), Droid 2) are $199 (I'm working off literally the top of my head and a 7 second search of the Verizon website).

@thnikkamax: Sprint uses pretty much the same thing as AT&T as far as I know. High paying customers and primary lines on family accounts get upgrades as early as 12 months, as long as they pay $xx per month (that's AT&T program).

@Vone: AT&T still does something similar, except it's a $50 or $100 extra credit toward phones. It has never applied to iPhone however, and I assume that's Apple's doing since they control, excuse me, strongly suggest the price at which you sell their phone.

@Interstella5555: At least you have the nads to admit it, which is generally more than I can say for myself.

I want to buy him a beer.

@Interstella5555: That's the back...

@TheCrudMan: A solid pwning if I say so myself.

Seems like Apple is all about choice all of a sudden. Two choices for the iPad switch. Two choices for iPhone carriers. What's next?!

@JamesTrivettesHat: You do realize HSPA+ is multiple upgrades over the original UMTS "3G" network right? Plus AT&T is also building an entire LTE network. And AT&T also calls their network "the nation's fastest mobile broadband network." They haven't run around going "4G 4G 4G!!!1!," even if they plan to in the future.

@JamesTrivettesHat: Once again, bad link. Second, read the other post I made where I refuted what he said, which is wrong. Three, thanks for playing.

"Oh, and don't hold out until iPhone 5 so we all have to upgrade. That's just obnoxious."

@dropdeadfred: You can also do this on the iPhone.

@Kaiser-Machead: Voice + Data should (eventually) be available with LTE as it is a type of GSM technology.

@vel0city: Absolutely right. Although, as we all know, Verizon's "3G" is not as fast and doesn't have some of the features of AT&T's "3G" (simultaneous voice and data).

@lamagnumrt: 1) That's a bad link.

@lamagnumrt: I think you meant "T-Mobile" (the people that renamed HSPA+ to "4G"). There is not one part of this comment that's truth. Thanks for sharing some uninformed ignorance though, it's not a true day spent on the internet without at least one of those comments.

@Purdueable: That was just enjoyed by multiple people at my place of employment. Thank you.
