Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
"The only people who are willing to pay for $99/mo or more for unlimited service are either doing a LOT of travel to rural areas, minor cities, or the few major cities Metro doesn't support ... or they've got their head buried in the status-symbol sand and aren't looking for actual deals."
Or they actually LIVE in 'rural areas, minor cities, or the few major cities Metro doesn't support,' which is WAY more often than not the case.
Saying that this is expensive just because there is a local service available to you that is less is like Bill Gates saying, "You can't afford a Ferrari? WTF!? My dog's glass nut cost more that a Ferrari!" or Muhammed saying, "What?! People actually pay for oil? That black *&^* that all over the place here? That's like paying to breathe!"
I'm just saying that while this may not be news for you, it is news for the 90% of us who aren't in the same situation as you.
