I won't call it crippled either. You can make a call with it. Can't you? </sarcasm>

As someone who is going to be using AT&Ts network, I'd rather have an iPhone that works here than an iPhone that works in Europe.

Also, I'm curious. Why is the iPhone, with three models, crippled, but the galaxy s3, with nine models, not crippled?

In 2012, "phone" no longer means "device primarily used to conduct voice calls". It means "pocket computer with wireless Internet connectivity".
