iPhone Price - Too Expensive?

What do you think? Some people are saying that apple could've actually charged more for the 8gb version of the phone. Is the 4gb too expensive then?

I think that with all the things that the iPhone can do (and perhaps technology that will be already built into the phone but not used until later) the phone is priced well. Even just the technology that the iPhone is using makes it worth the money when Apple's production, research and development costs are factored in: they've done a good job pricing it accordingly (and they're praying to sell millions so that they can recoup their costs and then make a profit - 4g and 8's).

It's a cellphone, MP3 player, camera and a smart phone so adding them all up separately would cost alot more. Plus, being that it is a Mac product smacks of high quality and probably not one to be released with a ton of bugs.

Out of reach for most? Definitely, especially when you factor in a data plan that HAS to go with it; no way out of that one. And then there's the little accessories here and there like docking station, leather/hard shell case and screen protectors, to name a few.

Either way, can't deny that it is one very cool device.

The iphone is high price because of it just being released! give it time will be way cheaper...and i think if apple is smart it will be avaiable for more companys...the features are amazing....The feature arent amazing... how smooth the features are is what amazed me in the store

A Chocolate is a good substitute for an iPhone? In less you have the prada version that's like comparing a Dodge to a Mercedes

Thats was just my opinion. Well ofcourse, thats because i have the Choco, so its just like saying patronize your own. LOL! Peace dude.

Does price always come with novelty? How about its durability? Make? Features? I mean, why are certain cellphones a lot more expensive than others? Is it durability? Novelty? What?

Features and Look Mostly

Durability isnt always a factor

Hey ya`ll.I really like the iPhone and want to purchase it.However all I could find is the locked to AT&T version.Does anyone know where I can find unlocked one online?

So,IMO,I think it's worthy in despite of it's little higher price.

Will you be able to find a company to support the data stream needs of an unlocked iPhone? I'd be nervous myself.

The phone is out of my reach for sure but it certainly SEEMS well worth the money.

Now you can buy iphone for 399$. And it's a 8Gb model, that's so cheap. If I had known that before, I would have bought 8Gb Iphone, instead on my Nokia N73.

I still think they're expensive but I'm a 'bargain' shopper kind of person. Actually, I'm getting a free one... yep, free! A friend of mine just got hers and I even held it in my very own hands.

If you're interested, you can get one by clicking here. You have to complete one offer (mine cost $5 but the free trials are, well, 'free' and then you refer 8 people and they send you a free phone). I promise I'm not spamming either... I'm just trying to help! I'm pretty much the queen of free stuff - ha
