Title: Apple makes.....a smart decision?!
Post by: LinkXLR on June 09, 2008, 01:00:33 PM
Everyone knows the iPhone.

That cool phone that no one could afford.

Overrated? Probably.


But now, they're launching the iPhone 3G. (Don't stop reading here, it gets better)
The iPhone 3G is twice as fast as the original iPhone and comes with a few more features. (I'm too lazy to name them)

And now the big deal. The price. An 8 gigabyte iPhone 3G will sell for $199 and a 16 gigabyte will sell for $299.

:0 I'd buy it if I was on AT&T. Much cheaper than the original.

Meh. I already have an iPhone, so this doesn't affect me. But still, "Apple" and "smart" in the same sentence. THE APOCALYPSE!

I've never seen a teenage blonde girl with an iPhone.

no wait...one.  But I've seen a good amount of them, and they're mostly in not blonde hands.

Most of the girls in my city are blond and they had to have the iPhone to try and prove they are better than everybody else :-\

Apple's made tons of smart decisions. Create underpowered, overpriced machines, and market them to teenagers as the new cool thing to buy. It's a brilliant business move.

On the iPhone, I still have no need for one, and I'm fine with my Zune as my main media player.

And Nintendo did the same thing, but they are marketing it to everyone.

I think you can get cheaper ones from T-Mobile, but you can't use iTunes, Installer, or update it.

I'm pretty interested in it, but playing $69.99 for the lowest amount of minutes is just crazy to me, especially considering I'd still be stuck on the EDGE network, but I still think it looks better than the current iPhone so I'll probably just buy a 8 Gig one.

since when has almost everybody here been so anti-mac?

I mean, it's not bad. It's sorta like the gamecube even.


Except the gamecube had really bad sales.

An iPhone would be nice if AT&T didn't charge you an arm and a leg every month to use it.

Well most AT&T employess who are nice would give you the 20$ plan for internet and like 500 minutes a month free calling to AT&T numbers anywhere in the US and free after 9. An extra 10 for txt so you wind up paying 30 dollars. Its a plane for reguler phones that works on the Iphone =P
