$499 for the 4GB and $599 for the 8GB -- with 2-year Cingular agreement. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

The thinking here is that a nano is $199 and a smartphone is $299-$399 -- hence $500-$600 for a combo unit. Expensive, but the entire thing is basically software, so the chance of it going obsolete quickly is not something to worry about too much.

Bah!

Guess I won't be getting one soon.

Well, you'd have to wait until at least June anyway.

[Geffy]

To be honest I slightly disappointed. Nothing really cool til September

Go through these demos and tell me you aren't impressed!

I paid $500 for my Windows Mobile device and an additional $50 for a 1GB microSD card.

I think that (the price of the iPhone) is a bargin.

i hate cingular and the phone is $500 i read!

It does suck that certain phones are tied to certain carriers -- just the way it is, though.

The phone probably is a $500+ value. Just look at what it does, and its capability for all sorts of future updates. Also, it will be supported by Apple, which is a huge bonus because Apple really does support its products unlike others (*cough* Motorola *cough*).

 

[omg its nlm]

You guys are retarded, I think that phone is worth it....
