I don't know what your trying to compare to but the phones listed are retail, unlocked, with no 2yr Contract. So lets look at this logically.
AT&T:
8525 with 2yr contract I purchased for 99.99 (after 50.00 rebate) 24.95 for the dvd conversion, now we need storage. 8525 can support microSDHC cards the limit now is 4gb for 60.00 (8gb coming soon) So total price for 8525 = 184.94 + tx
AT&T
iPhone 2yr contract = 499.99 + tx
Total difference not including tax = 315.05
But wait there is more. I can send mms, have voice dial, speed dial, have touch screen, have plenty of bluetooth profiles including A2DP, infared, wi-fi, can stream music, can view & edit office documents, have 3G, can record video, have plenty of 3rd party apps to ch...

well i just got this off the website the 8525 is $449.99 with a 2 year contract. you get $50 off for buying online then there is a $100.00 mail in rebate so your total comes to $299.99 without tax.
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.

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.
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.

do you know what makes the iphone better then the 8525 it is the apple logo on the back.. 😎
...
So, what you're saying is, if you want a PDA phone, you should buy a PDA phone? What a novel idea! And are those people that want an iPhone allowed to buy an iPhone, or is there some restriction on that, and they MUST purchase a PDA phone. In that case, shouldn't they get the best PDA phone available? Why would they get an 8525?
...
All I'm saying is that the iPhone doesn't have the functionality of an 8525 (which this person used as an example).
I'm not knocking the iPhone, but it is just that. A phone. Not a PDA.

actually my phone can do all of the above except for the display rotating for pictures and videos, but it takes me 2 seconds to do that and i spent $400 less on the device so im good. and no itunes but thats a big deal.
...
Yes to all except for the crappy iTunes stuff.
& 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 get turn by turn gps directions?...no
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?

to all the above yes only downfall is i cant change the battery its ok....i get gps, i can send pic messages, and the rest hell yea.
...
oh and by the way $300 just for the phone without a two yeqar is contract is good, how much did u spend on your phone, 49.99 with a two year activation
...
now if you lose your 8525 it'll cost you 600 bux not to mention by you putting a 4gb sd card in yours it was obviously not purchased thru ATT thus voiding your warranty 😛 so even if something happens to your phone your SOL anyways. so just pray your phone lasts 2 years with no glitches and keep remembering to clear the cache under memory so it doesnt lock up.
...
Well the same can be said for iPhone, hope you don't loose it. How is not buying a 4gb card from AT&T voiding my warranty? If your talking about my 8525 yes I did buy it from my local AT&T store.
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.

YOU CANT BUY IT WITHOUT A CONTRACT 🤣 and Steve Jobs said it himself-- YOU PAY FULL RETAIL FOR THE IPHONE!!! 🙄
...
So if you break it you have to renew your contract again...I do hope for your sake it doesn't get damaged.
...
if i lose my htc 6800 it cost me $50 to get a new 1 and that still puts me at cheaper than the i phone and i can record videos 😉
...
have u you even played or looked at this phone...you can't compare it to Windows Mobile phones...so in the past 2 years I have spent $199 + $299 (XV6700/Treo700WX) for two WM 5.0 phones, both complete pos...so the morale of the story is ...there really isn't a perfect phone out there ,the iPhone will meet needs of most people...encouraging folks to buy a WM 5.0 phone that lags and requires constant rebooting is very dishonest...for $600 an 8gb iPod + phone combo is a respectable price...and I bet people will enjoy that experience a lot more than the hair pulling experience that WM users have with their bricks....
...
Theres a difference between a problem with the device/hardware and not knowing how to use it. Windows mobile is a multi tasking OS and if you don't close your apps correctly you will have a problem
...
N75 = $199.99 after a $50 MIR w/2yr
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.

I think I saw the iPhone once... and just looking at it extended my 2 year contract
