I think customs charges a big fee for importing phones.

Found this list of iphone flaws,

QUOTE
1. At $599, it is ridiculously expensive. (Add in the cost of an AT&T contract and you get close to $1500)

2. Those who want to buy one must sell their soul to evil mega-corporation AT&T.

3. Japan already has technologically superior phones, and theyâeuro(tm)re far cheaper.

4. Slower internet than the commercials show: âeuro The data experience is going to be very slow. If youâeuro(tm)re on a cellular network, [using the Internet] is going to be very slow.âeuro

5. Initial reports indicate that YouTube is slow and crappy using cellular network internet/EDGE. Itâeuro(tm)s nothing like in the commercials.

6. You cannot remove its battery. Thanks for replicating one of the biggest complaints about the ipod, Apple!

7. The glass touch screen of the iPhone guarantees that thousands of customers who drop their phones will have cracked screens.

8. The touchscreen keyboard sucks, according to those who have used the phone.

9. It canâeuro(tm)t send MMS picture messages.

10. The camera has little or no options, and the pictures it takes arenâeuro(tm)t very good.

11. It lacks proper support for Flash websites. So much for the internet.

12. It canâeuro(tm)t record video.

13. âeuro Pinchingâeuro pictures to zoom might look neat in commercials, but many reviewers are saying it actually sucks.

14. It lacks 3G high-speed data transfer.

15. No songs as ringtones.

16. No GPS.

17. It doesnâeuro(tm)t work under 64-bit Windows XP / Windows Vista!!!!!!! Thanks for not including that in your Windows System Requirements, Apple!

18. It only allows for a maximum of 1 picture to be attached to each e-mail you send.

19. It doesnâeuro(tm)t have a file browser/organizer.

20. Its default ringtones suck.

21. You can not save documents on it: documents can only be viewed as attachments when theyâeuro(tm)re sent to your e-mail address.

22. No games!!

23. Its âeuro quick listâeuro dialing sucks compared to traditional speed dialing, which it lacks..

24. Long activation waits: many new iPhone users are reporting that they are being told to wait hours or even days to activate service for their phone. Thanks, AT&T!

25. Heat issues: the iPhone can get very hot when it is in use.
26. Deceptive Ads: Apple has been using models with gigantic hands in their advertisements for the iPhone in an effort to trick consumers into believing it is more compact.

27. Many of the positive press reports about the iPhone are influenced by newspapers and TV networks that simply want to profit from the hypefest, or even worse, reporters who are looking to sell books about the iPhone.

28. It creates incredibly annoying iPhone fanboys.
