This phone is designed as a GSM world phone so it’s home on AT&T is fitting. With a strong network, amazingly large app store, and a following like no other this phones is poised to dominate the market for years to come. The phone houses Apple’s A4 chip which they currently use in the iPad which makes this unit no chump when it comes to hardware specs. This rendition of Apples iPhone was the first phone that apple really listened to their customers when it came to designing it.
