Apple fanboys will apparently believe anything. Look at the fine print from the apple website:"(2) Requires new two-year AT&T wireless service contract, sold separately to qualified customers; credit check required; must be 18 or older. For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB)."Enjoy your "$99" iPhone.
From Apple's Site (the footnote "2" on every iPhone):(2) ...For non-qualified customers, **including existing AT&T customers** who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB).That's WITH a 2 year agreement! Suckage. Stopped my purchase dead.EDIT: Oops... Repeated comment... I'm not calling anyone names though (unless it's AT&T).-Pie

I also remember when I paid $80 for a 128MB SD card.

Even at that price, I'm not interested. I prefer spending the money into cheese cakes :)

Dangit! Why'd I spent $300 on mine?
