As much as I would like to get one, I am very happy with Vodafone, and will not change airtime providers.
Sigh! Maybe in the future.
I still think Apple should let everyone sell them, but at least it's some kind of progress.

So glad to hear this. Hopefully it'll come to fruition before my contract runs out in March 2010 as it should push contract prices down significantly. :)
I hope this event brings prices down, and I hope it winds up on Vodafone too. Good times ahead!
