Mankind will never be satisfied.
Even when a perfect iPhone comes along, there will always be something to b1tch about. Most probably the price. Funny thing is, these complaining folks never did consider to buy it in the first place, but only come in to b1tch and moan. |

Debating weather the 3G iphone has a plastic back actually is not that important but rather how it can serve you. As long both generation phone serve you well, get's the job done, we are good.
Owning an iphone is already a luxury..good to be a owner of a iphone. Next target phone is 3g iphone. Cheers |

And me too.. A 8GB will do..
 Added on August 12, 2008, 8:13 pm QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Aug 12 2008, 06:41 PM) Are U saying the iPhone 3G will be available @ RM1.5k 6-10 months from now?! Unless Apple introduces a new model and phase this one out, I don't think the iPhone 3G will ever fall below RM2k [Basis: I benchmarked it against existing iPod Touch prices - there is NO reason for Apple to phase off their iPods and if the iPhone 3G is introduced and priced lower than the existing iPod Touch prices, Apple will only kill that product line] Why not?  Look at the 1st gen's price when it first comes here.. RM2399 for the 8GB, plus unlock RM2499.. And after less than one year, it's RM1300 now.. And i am sure next year's keynote Apple will introduce something for the next iPhone.. iPhone Nano? Bah.. Sounds lame This post has been edited by Fighteden: Aug 12 2008, 08:13 PM |

The rules have changed.
The price will not drop to those levels, the benchmark is not USD199, but the price for buy outright ones. And these are never less than USD699/NZD1129. Unless your seller is willing to get a plan for every single iPhone 3G he is selling, you will never see the price dropping to that level. The only other way you can get the price down to the current iPhone EDGE prices are either black market units, or second hand ones. The cost of getting an iPhone 3G with plan at the cheapest alone is more than RM6000. Nobody's willing to sign that amount of money away just to help you get one for the price you wanted. (RM1400 thereabouts) This post has been edited by stringfellow: Aug 12 2008, 08:26 PM |

@wei,
Absolutely right - people will never be satisfied. If this new iPhone 3G had a front camera included; people will be complaining about the price! |
