    MSRP, even with a contract? Pass. Still a pretty cool phone, though.

      If I had that amount of money to waste on a phone I would just use it on a ps3 or something.

            Probably could have gotten alot more people to buy it had they gotten a deal done with Verizon.

            It's a cool looking phone,but for 600 dollars,I'll pass. I don't see why people need a cell phone for anything other than talking anyway.

              It's funny that people are excited about a $600 phone but complain about the ps3 being too expensive.

                  verizon passed on carrying this. apple wants so much control over it and at&t pretty much was the only carrier willing to give up some power.

                  i get a feeling the iphone may be doomed even before it's birth. people will buy it off the bat because of the hype, but hype doesn't last, especially expensive hype.

                      I'm getting one.


                      Here is how I am justifying the price.


                      Blackberries cost a couple hundred bucks.

                      Ipods cost a couple hunderd bucks.

                      I dont have either. Now I can get all in one, with Apple software running it. Its a no brainer for me.


                      My number one main concern is battery life.

                        I'm not gonna lie, I think the iPhone is sweet, but I don't have the money to use on it, and I'm not in the market for a new phone anyway.

                        I've said this before....yes its expensive but I actually think its a decent value for the features it has.

                          Makes sense for people in that situation. I think it's a cool phone, but I don't need it or really want it right now.

                          I'm just to attached to my blackberry pearl and my fave 5 to wanna switch right now.

                            I wish Verizon would carry it, I'm eligible for an upgrade right after they come out.

                              No need to justify it if you have the disposable income to pay for it man and think you'll get good use out of it.

                              As for battery life, I think that may be a legit concern. I really have no idea how long it will last. I think Apple is saying 5 hours talk or video time, 16 hours audio playback. Sounds like it should be able to last through a typical day of a couple hours of music, maybe an hour of talking, etc.
