The Cap'n said: They put a whopping, 1 whole gig of Ram in that thing?
I guess their innovative thinking later will be to introduce a 2 and subsequently a 3 gig version, when their backs are against the wall on the tail of dismal quarterly earnings.
Well, if they wanted, Apple could put 16 GB of usable RAM in one of their phones. You can't do that on any of the other phones listed above. Does anyone here understand that the PA Semi chip designers have been busy?

Somebody worried it will not sell???

The iPhone 6 hasn't even been released yet, but there's already a way to get it for free.

In an unusual move, Verizon Wireless (VZ, Tech30) announced Tuesday it would give away one of the phones Apple (AAPL, Tech30) revealed earlier in the afternoon.

Probably more like Verizon worried about defection.

I and my family, are defecting to T-Mobile. I've been using a MicroCell device at home, but it's clunky. T-Mobile will offer WiFi-calling, and already has free international roaming. Just as I think I want those features, there's one provider that offers both, so the timing is perfect.

Analysts worry over the churn of valued customers. I called in to American Express and alluded to my annual fee coming up and thinking if it's worth it. I spend a lot on that card. Before long I had a specialist on the line laying out incentives of money and points to keep me. I read somewhere that the cost of acquiring a credit card customer is ~$700, so if you are decent ongoing value to them, they will spend to keep you as replacing you is expensive. I'm sure some analyst at VZ made a similar judgement.
