I apologize for this being offtopic, so feel free to downmod me for it, but:
Does anyone know what font they're using on this page? It looks like what happens when you try to trace a font using the "trace bitmap" function in inkscape.
In other words: awful.

Normally this service works pretty well:

The second one is closest but not right. Oh well.

Looks hand-drawn to me; all the T's are different.
Sure, Apple and AT&T could have handled it better. For one might be cheaper for current iphone owners to just pay the ETF and get the new owner price. So Apple could at least pro-rated the price based on the number of months under the old plan.
But the reason that there is a price difference is that the two-year plan they signed up for paid part of the phone price. There is a price difference of several hundred dollars between an unlocked iphone bought from Apple and the same iphone bought with a contract. So when customers ask to get out of their contract for free, they are asking to not pay the price they had all ready agreed to.
I view it as someone asking for a partial refund on a hard drive because the company came out with a newer hard drive with more space for less money. Sure, it is great for them if they get it, but they don't deserve it.
