Apple lowers price of 8 gig iPhone to $399

Thank god I'm poor and can't buy things like that anyway. =D

well what can i say.... I want my 200 dls difference.. I got two iphones one for my one for my partner so is 400 dls .... that is crazy is the last time i get something from apple.. very mad!

apple did screw everyone. this is also the last time i'm buying a product from apple. for people who are thinking of buying one right now, who's to stop apple to offer it free in a few months (maybe in 2 months?) for signing up with AT&T?

6 weeks... I hate apple for doing this. Everyone is making fun of me now, and all I did was be a loyal customer to apple. That's the last thing I ever buy from apple. ever.

I'm now ashamed to carry my iPhone. I'm the butt of jokes of my friends - calling me a FOOL for having fallen in line for hours and buying the iphone at full price for $600. They kept saying that price will drop soon but I kept on denying that. And now it's true!

I hate Apple!

Hah... it's how the world works. Everyone knows stuff gets cheaper after it comes out. This just happened faster. Makes me laugh.

I would say "told you it was overpriced and by Xmas it would come a lot cheaper"

but was I surprised when that happened 2 months after release and not by cutting 10%-15% but a whopping 33%...

is it only me thinking they overpriced it and are now trying to meet the numbers?

I called the Apple store near me today and I am still pissed. He was a manager and said that unless I purchased my phone in the last 14 days there was nothing they could do- then after pressing him he admitted that it could have been within 16 or so days telling me there is room to move. I bought a month ago and feel totally taken advantage of. I feel $200 is a penalty for being loyal to Apple and supporting them. It WON'T happen again...

This is one of the reasons why after I buy some tech gadget or computer component, I never look for it again in an ad/online/etc. My friend, who I had a race to see who would get the iPhone first (I won), told me about this link as he laughed (guess he won in a different sense).

Heh - everyone outside USA who has wanted an iPhone for the last few months is having a quiet giggle to themselves right now.

For once I'm quite glad that Uncle Steve has skipped HK for the time being. I would have bought one on day 1 (ok, maybe day 2 - I hate queueing), and the news that it should be HK$1600 cheaper than it was on day 1 is very welcome news.

And if it's locked to a carrier, then there's the option of a phone-less iPhone.

It's a good day for non-USA based Apple users I'd say.
