[BleedBurgundy]

How'd he like paying $200 too much for it?

I'd be pissed.

It all depends on what it's worth to the individual.

No doubt. I was referring to the fact that Apple just cut the price of the iPhone by $200. What has it been out for? Two months? I'd be pretty unhappy if I had bought say, a 360 for $400 and then two months later they drop it down to $200. I think it sends a message to customers to give it a little while before buying the newest products. (unless money is no object...)

Problem is that you have to go with the "new" AT&T when you get an iPhone. I like the phone, but I think the response has not been as great would they had put it out for all cell service providers.

I think there's already been a hack so you can use the phone on any service.

Yeah true. Personally I always wait for high dollar items like that to drop a bit in price. But for some people they just can't wait and they have to have it the day it comes out.

the hack is illegal I believe but they started working on that stupid phone the day it came out

[BleedBurgundy]

The kid that hacked the phone got a free car and a consulting gig with some IT company. And the hack opens the phone up to T-Mobile only.

Not "any service" , the only other major carrier that uses At&T's older style network is T-mobile. So the hack would allow you to move to T-mobile or a small list of smaller regional carriers.

At $600 sales weren't jumping like they expected. A lot of people definitely felt sucker punched but then again if you were stupid enough to pay $600 in the first place you only have yourself to blame.
