I'll be a sophomore in college, Political Science major. Does anyone know if the iPhone would be useful/come in handy at college?
Also, how can I get a discount from at&t on my cell phone plan? Is it through my college, or at&t? Like, who/where do I go to for that? I
Thanks

I would think that with the amount of apps that are out and that are bound to come out for the iPhone, it would inevitably be useful to you. Browse the app store and see if you find something that you think would help you in your daily college life. If you can afford it, I'd go for it.

I have no idea how to get the student discount though.

From my research so far, you need to start here for the discount. However, you need to use a school email to do so. Otherwise, you need to go into an AT&T store and work with them. Also, from what I have read, it is best to get the iPhone first. Since it is now subsidized, the student discount applies. Before it didn't for some reason.

sweet! It sounds awesome. So I can get my school mail "pushed" or whatever?
I think I'm going to get one.
Thanks everyone for the input!
