    Pretty much the same as everyone one else:

    1) Contracts are expensive
    2) No 3g support - which doesn't matter in the states as there isn't that much 3g coverage.
    3) 200MB does not constitute unlimited use.
    4) The cloud wi-fi points are in such dodgy places your iphone will be gone as soon as it's out of your pocket ;)

    Also as McDonalds also announced that it's opening up it's wi-fi for free then it looks even more expensive and you might as well buy an iPod touch.

    Be interesting to see what happens in France, where it is illegal not to sell and unlocked product.
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?
