there's no reason .. no reason at all ..
I THINK we are just stupid to fall for this brilliant marketing plan by Apple. in such they are able to create not only a huge demand but also that hype & big hoo haa about the 3GS. if you follow garage sales closely, you will find that the demand is getting bigger & bigger. prices are getting more & more ridiculous.
but what would happen if Apple has enough 3GS to go around the world?
no demand. no big hoo haa about it. just another N97. or Touch Pro 2.
wait & see until after X'mas. now, every kid in the world wants a 3GS for Christmas. my guess is the price will drop by then. so if you can wait...
but right now, you just need to pay if you wanna get your hands on it. same here or in any other country.
