iPhone Price reduce on the way

Nina 07-06-2007

It seems as though everything with a nice pricetag is on its way down. You wont have long to wait for this. Iphone are already for a price drop. Since there isn't a activation for instore you can activated for free without needing to go into a long contract any more. Although its still a big price for an ipod Nano with video and wifi, I guess there's a few people out thre that think $600 is worth having that. So if you know anyone with an iphone that hasn't activated it yet, stop them.

nice, i was looking in gettign one as i need a Cell and a MP3 player, i was waiting for more reviews and if any bugs pop up and so far the only thing wrong with the phone is the service, lol. Go AT&T

Make sure also that you aren't big on texting people too, thats another thin that it falls short on. But you actually want to pay $500 when alot of phones do play mp3s and cost alot less.

i dont text ppl, i perfer to talk to them, that is one thing i hate about teh plans, all have texting and email and websurfing, even the "cheap" ones have it, all i want it for is MP3, Movies are nice and Phone, i think i can type things and read books on it also, and that i can use but not needed. but when you look at the cost of a good cell, a good ipod your not paying to much.

~$300 for a 30G Ipod
~0$ and up for a phone, but the free ones you got to have a plan so about $100 and up for a cheap
that is almost $400 right there, ya its less then 30G 4 to 8G for the ipone but come on, i htink even the price is fine now, its the plans that are keeping me away right now. and i also dont by first Gen, i like to wait a bit to see what happens, like the whole Vista thing.

30g ipod is only about $200. And you can always get a prepaid phone and just switch out the sim card out of it.

is anyone placing bets on which hip-hop artist features the iPhone first in their next video?

this iPhone really sucks... at first it was attractive, but now its just like **all show and no go**... sort of like a honda civic with this massive spoiler on the trunk and unpainted body kit pieces but still riding on hubcaps and a 1.5litre 112hp engine...

the slow internet is everyone's biggest pet peev right now, and you would expect that a phone like this would be capable of actual GPS...

GIR maybe right, did apple do this on purpose just so they dont have to work too hard on improving the 2nd gen version of the iPhone?

yes, it is possible to get the iphone working without activation, and apple makes it amazingly easy to hack the phone

--but what's the point? is anyone seeing any true benefit with this?

500$ gets me the equivalent of my 150$ nano, and 350$ cell....

What cell phones are you people buying. Tro's and Blackberry's and other smart phones don't cost $300. That better be CAD.

GIR

with out any plans the phones cost that much,
from Bestbuy,ca

Telus Mobility Blackberry 8703e Handheld $650CDN

Bell Mobility BlackBerry RIM 8830 Handheld Cellular Phone $800CDN -$299 with 3 year plan from telus

from Telus, most of the contracts go like this, if you get a one year contract they take $50 off the phone, if two years tehy take off $150 if a three year plan its $200 off the phone, unless its a special deals go on or something.

and also for some reason when things come up from the states they up the price, even its made in china and send it directly over to canada, or even its like 30mins from the border, they up it, and then canada governemnt love to tax things also.

so all in all, we get screwed, and most of use are quiet about it

Nina

Samsung BlackJack = $99
BlackBerry Curve = $199
BlackBerry® Pearl = $149
BlackBerry® 8700c = $199
Palm® Treo 750 = $199
*All with 2 year contracts

With Sin's discount subtract 60% and remove the contract.

our books are an average of 30% higher in price even though our dollar is only 5-10% less then yous. And this is on books printed in Canada without any taxes applied yet.

Come down to the states. Get you a phone that works up there too. Take it bacc withcha. Save a few hundreds.
