apple builds a great product and the iphone series will get better as time goes on. it wont be long till the price drops we all remember when the razr came out for the first time and how much it cost.
Yes I remember the razr & it to was crap, nothing no more than a v551 with a fancy casing. I have no problem paying money for a good phone, but if they are going to call it Revolutionary it better be able to do everything my current phone can do plus more.

I didn't say the phone was 99.99 after rebate from Cingular. The difference is the 8525 can be bought at a Cingular authorized agent. So amazon has them for 99.99 now with no rebate.

I'm not knocking the iPhone, but it is just that. A phone. Not a PDA.

& zooming of images, thats worth $600.00
Can your phone...
Send mms, use voice dial, be unlocked, used on any gsm service provider, use speed dial, use bluetooth stereo headphones, etc...
If the iPhone is revolutionary I have more money than bill gates...
can your iphone send picture text msgs?...no
Can your iphone maintain a call...not likely
Can your iphone produce crisp clear sound...no
Is it really that revolutionary? ID say no I mean all of these things are features that have been perfected and usable even on the more basic phones for what 2-3 years now?
As far as a phone lasting 2 yrs that goes for any phone. & as for the warranty if I need a replace Cingular sends it for free. If you need a replacement you have to rent a phone from apple while yours is repaired or replaced for a fee.
Your statement in your first post was way off. 600 is average for a phone. I can buy many phones for way under 600 with touch screen & many other features. You were comparing contract price against non contract price which is not accurate. The iPhone would cost more without a contract.
KRZR = $150.00 after $50 MIR w/2yr
8525 = $350.00 after $50 MIR w/2yr
We don't have the iPhones (I'm an agent), but I know they are $499 and $599 w/2yr
How are these the same? If you're talking about buying one outright, you can't buy an iPhone outright so it's a moot point.
