The main problem is not the phone companies but the people who will spend $1,300.00 for the latest models. These new units do not make phone calls any better or you internet service any faster than what is available. Yes they may have a lot of fancy bells and whistles. But in the end they are just cell phones. Now I must admit I do like the camera/ video cability, but do not buy them for that. ITS A PHONE. And my old flip phone will do the job just as well as the latest Apple IPhone.
