IPhone through Straight Talk? Good or bad idea?

I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to Straight Talk (to purchase an iPhone and their $45 per month unlimited everything plan) but I'm not sure if this is a good choice. The unlimited data part sounds too good to be true. Just wondering what your thoughts are before I make a big investment here.

Total ripp off, beware of hidden charges

Bad idea

  • Used iphone on ebay, good or bad idea? Thinking of buying a unlocked iphone on ebay. Is this a good idea? Will I have probs with activation? Can I use straight talk with it?
  • Should I get Samsung Galaxy SII or iphone 4 through straight talk? Samsung Galaxy has more memory, bigger screen and is $100 cheaper. I've heard mixed reviews through youtube and yahoo answers. Some say samsung, some say iphone, Which do you think will last the longest and is just a better all around phone?
  • ITunes update idea, good or bad? Apple products are getting stolen and being sold for profit. But some iPhones have passwords and to remove is to restore backup from iTunes. My idea is if any iTunes account is on the phone, when you restore it will ask for password of the account on the phone. Rendering it useless for the thief or thieves. Is this idea good or bad? Or maybe it already exist?
  • Is this a good or bad business idea? I plan on buying some plain iPhone cases and decorating them with sharpies and stuff. They're about 8 bucks per case, I figure I could sell each case for 20-30 bucks. Is this a good idea? Would you pay 20-30 bucks for a case?
