I'm an unapologetic Apple hater. Most of my hatred comes from the fact that their stuff is horribly overpriced and the rest is their marketing (it bugs the hell out of me).

I do think that the price comparison isn't that fair. The service plan is overpriced by about $10-$20. Activation is about $20-$40 across the board so that is wash. The only difference is the initial cost of the device and although $500-$600 is a lot for a phone, it is not that much more than similar phones.

I think their biggest problem is that the corporate world is more likely to buy their workers phones that synch with Outlook. That and the fact that 8 GB is way undersized for the HDD.

Also, I hate exclusive deals but it adds to the snotty apple culture.
