Cell phones have become a part of daily life, and many people feel lost without them. But there's a new cell phone on the market that has had people everywhere buzzing. What makes the iPhone so phenomenal and so enticing is that it's a mobile phone that has touchscreen keyboard, but it's also an iPod that has a powerful internet browser -- all in a very cool package. "This is going to be the gadget for any technology lover," says AuWerter. Many expect this product to change the cell phone business overnight.
The drawback: The iPhone will be sold to AT&T customers only. The company has exclusive access to this phone for five years. So if you're currently under contract with another cellular provider, that may mean an early termination fee, which can run as high as $200. Add in the fact that the iPhone will cost a minimum of $400-600. "The switch is not a cheap proposition," says AuWerter.
Given the hype surrounding the iPhone, you may want to wait to get one. As with any new technology, the conventional wisdom is that unless you're the type who has to be the first kid on the block to have a new toy, you're better off waiting for any potential kinks to be worked out. "If you can resist the temptation, wait about three months or so before you make the purchase," says AuWerter.

There is no need to pay early termination fees if you use a site like Cellswapper dot com.
They help you find someone to take over your existing contract, avoiding the ETF completely.
Just one of those secret jewels of the internet!
