This is cool but if you could, please add prepaid? Specifically add the following?

- 4th column for StraighTalk as one of the carriers

- 5th column for Tmobile as one of the carriers)

- Cost to buy iphone (199 normally, but full price prepaid)

- Cost over the entire life of the plan

See:

- StraighTalk: http://9to5mac.com/2012/07/30/review-the-iphone-on-straight-...

Note: Since StraightTalk resells AT&T using their own antennas, the available service would be same. Correct?

There's no point in adding Straight Talk at this time because official word (via their Twitter) is that they do not have nano SIMs and they have no (announce-able) plans to sell nano SIMs at this time.

Micro-SIMs cannot be cut down to nano-SIM dimensions and be used.

Why not? Is there a difference in the actual chip? I thought it was just a trimming of the plastic around the chip.
Also Cricket/Leap Wireless which is the only iPhone 5 announced yet
StraightTalk doesn't have LTE. I'm not sure if an iPhone 4S claims it is using 4G as it does on AT&T.
