$200 is a much more palatable price and more in line with what the general populace is willing to pay I bet. The iPhone is not worth $399 or $499, no phone is.
I agree. I wonder how this will affect the pricing of other yet-to-be-released high-end phones, such as the Nokia N95? There's a lot of them available already on eBay, and surely many more to come.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20420581 Fri, 02 May 2008 10:44:57 EDT Re: Much more palatable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20413840 ditka_b : Blah it's all relative and as you have already done if you don't think it's worth it don't buy it.

Clearly some people felt it was considering how many have been sold...
There is a faithful contingent of Mac users who will buy anything Apple craps out, at any price. Then you have the spoiled brat kids (and some business folks) who have to have the latest, most expensive gadget to show off.

Take a look here:

The iPhone is doing well, but it is not doing as well as most of the Apple faithful would have you believe. 4 million total sales worldwide is very respectable, but hardly ground breaking or earth shattering. In two years the Moto Razr sold over 50 million units worldwide way back in 2006: »www.motorola.com/mediacenter/new···_6980_23 and the original Startac sold over 75 million unit worldwide during its life.

The true test will come with HSDPA, real Exchange server support, and the $200 price from AT&T.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20410421 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:48:14 EDT Re: Much more palatable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20410248 jc100 : Well the nokia n82 and n95 take true 30 FPS video quality that is crisp as hell. It has a nice built in full feature camera, etc. That phone is pretty amazing compared to the trash heap known as the IPhone. Apple seems to be able to put anything out, slap their name on it, and sell it in record numbers. It's good for them of course. However, I think too many people are caught into the name brand mania, versus the actual worth of the phone. My opinion.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20410248 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:07:48 EDT Re: Much more palatable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20410041 Mike : That's the thing. Apple stuff usually is never reasonably priced.

some. But apparently not enough if ATT is willing to subsidize these phones.

the iphone is DEFINATELY not worth $399 or $499, but you are mistaken about the fact that no phone is really worth that much, well the phone im referring to here would be
Nokia n82, Nokia n95 8gb... the two top line N-Series phone by nokia kinda kick the shit out of all the phones that are out there

anyhoo, nice to see the price of iphone coming down to something more sensible, atleast for what its worth, maybe! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20409971 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:01:16 EDT Re: Much more palatable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20409966 Luker3 : Well, some of them didn't think it was because a few months later they complained that the price went down after they got it, and then demanded a $100 refund.

Makes me was to just smack all of those people in the face.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20409966 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:59:45 EDT Re: Much more palatable http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20409891 icp1 :
