$990! Whatever happened to Steve Jobs make it cheaper philosophy? I hope when this phone comes to Jamaica I won't have to pay an arm or a leg. If it ends costing more than what was revealed at WWDC '08, I am making a friend purchase one in the states and using it on the Digicel network since I would even like to avoid the hassle of transferring my number.

Forget it, Dee. Here in India, the phone is priced at near about $800, while the data plan
is priced at about 80$ for 500MB.

ParcSboj, stop trying to speak for everyone. Most AT&T customers are not having problems and virtually everyone outside of the US is not having persistent problems. I wonder why that might be. Hmmm... Oh, that's right, they are not on AT&T.
