I can think of a lot of ways in which that would not be the case, it would depend entirely on the provisions contained within the contract which I know for a fact that I haven't seen.
Wayne,
If you find yourself near the seacoast and want to grab lunch drop me a message.
Required Atom driving, Rt 1A, start in either Hampton (take 101 east all the way till you hit sand) or in Portsmouth (harder to give brief directions at that end).
Worse still, UPS may charge you a brokerage fee for getting the package through Customs.
I'd send a little note to ED and express your dismay along with plainly stating that you won't be responsible for any of UPS's transaction fees since the USPS doesn't charge any.
I agree Dan, the latest 4G iPhone looks pretty polished and ready for prime time. Rumors have it called the iPhone HD although that would seem to be a bit of a misnomer since even with the reported screen resolution being 960x640 it doesn't match any real HD standard. I'll be watching with interest this summer since I'm not on a contract with anyone for any device right now.
So I got some more face time with an Ipad this weekend and came away more impressed than my first hands on experience. If AT&T ever opens up tethering or I switch to a phone that already does it I'll probably pick one up. My office doesn't have wifi (no need for it) and memories of being frustrated with the Touch as a result are enough to keep me from buying one now.
You seem to be assuming that he didn't tell me what he paid, he did. He was upfront from the get go, it just so happened that his honesty hampered his ability to sell them on Head-Fi. There's no more to it than that.
The reason he's not selling them there is that he asked if he could and I said no. The listing would have been a pretty flagrant violation of the flipping rule, despite his intentions, and given the public's perception seemed like a bad idea.
