Oh, I am keeping up, probably more than you want me to.

I was just under the impression that instead of staying all homey-centric, that you would actually provide some Thailand based information on that same subject as well, or maybe more polyglot information. I guess not.

So, you claim the iPhone data plan costs $1,700, which is, of course, patently false based on the O2 UK prices I am looking at right.

Feel free to engage at any time, when you don't need to resort to falsehoods and lies.

Toodles!

Just for those keeping track - here's the actual comparison:

O2 UK iPhone plan prices range from £30/mo (100 minutes - 18 months), to £65/mo (unlimited talk - 18 months) - all include unlimited texting and unlimited data & wifi. So, iPhone voice + data plans cost (over 18 months duration) cost from £540 ($1,110) to £1170 ($2,450). At all of those rates, the cost of the iPhone 3GS ranges from £279 to FREE, respectively)

Comparing that to the HTC Desire (which is FREE on O2), with voice and data plans ranging from £28.51, to an unlimited plan for £65/mo.

Cartel Pricing?

The minimum plan is £1.49 cheaper with the Android phone, yet doesn't include unlimited SMS. Both include unlimited internet, yet the Android plan does not include unlimited WiFi. The iPhone plans all do.

The top of the line, unlimited everything plan costs the same £65, yet again the Android plan does not include unlimited Wifi. The iPhone unlimited plan, for the same price, does.

Cartel Pricing? Hardly.
