The other MacBook Pros now come with an SD Card slot, but the 17" still has an ExpressCard slot (for now, at least).
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

iPhone pricing from AT&T is... complicated.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm wanting one. Since I still have a 1st Gen Edge iPhone, I might be eligible for some discount. First, I need to pay for f2f. Then I need to see what the OS upgrade will do for my current iPhone. The sad thing is, with the $99 8gig 3G option, I won't get much for my Edge iPhone.

OK, a question pulled over from f2f wrt sharing pics as they happen, or nearly so. I have an iPhone. I found a free app that can upload to flickr (assuming this is the best way to share with everyone). So, for those more flickr savvy, if I create a set that Flickit (the iphone app) can access to post the pics to, and I batch edit to "share with group", does that share the set with the group at this moment, or as I post things?
eta OK, I did a little experiment, I created a set, added one photo, shared (all from the computer). THEN, I added a photo from the iPhone into *my* set. It doesn't seem to be in the Buffista group photostream. (ftr, first shot is me in my Jayne hat, second shot is the scoreboard of the scene shop kitty and it's hunting abilities. If anyone see's it, let me know!)

Hey. New board.
I don't like AT&T for a variety of reasons, but I definitely think that some of the complaints by existing iPhone 3G users are unfair.
AT&T takes a loss on every iPhone (and almost every phone, for that matter) it sells subsidized on the understanding that they will get close to two years of service from the user; hence the contract one is forced to sign. If Apple releases a new iPhone after only one year, then only half of that contract has been fulfilled, so it makes sense that they would not sell that user ANOTHER subsidized phone.
This has been the standard upgrade policy for ALL of the phone companies for ages. If you want to buy a new phone before your contract is up, you pay more money. This is and always has been true if you use Blackberries, Palms, Razrs, or Sidekicks.
Apple has never liked the idea of their phone working like this, which is why the first generation iPhone was sold unsubsidized to EVERYBODY. But then they got complaints that it was too expensive, especially compared to other, subsidized, phones. Most people were willing to sign the contract in exchange for a cheaper phone, and they did. Those that really read everything and understood this had the option of buying an iPhone with no contract for full price, but very few took it.
AT&T has no incentive to sell iPhone 3G owners a new phone at a loss; those customers haven't fulfilled the contract they signed yet, or even close. Why should iPhone users get special treatment in this? If I bought a Pre on Sprint today, I wouldn't expect them to let me upgrade cheaply again until at least 18 months have passed, after all.
...
It is REALLy stupid that MMS and tethering plans aren't available on AT&T, though.

why don't they just ask people to extend the contract by two years instead of getting complicated?

Much as I like to slam AT&T, Gris is right. 18 mos. to 2 years is totally standard for upgrading a phone with any provider I've encountered, even in cases where the contract commitment was less than that.
