The Apple 3G iPhone $199!!!! Can You Resist It !!!!
Monday, June 9, 2008 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: New Releases
Taken from the Apple website - click on external link above - iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.
Not sure I can resist any longer

I find it very easy to resist since I use Verizon not AT&T

Where did you see that price? Hard to believe.
I've spent some time with my son's iPod Touch and a friend's first-version iPhone and there is a lot to like about them. Assuming the phone function itself is decent on the 3G (my Motorola Razr is pretty pathetic on that score - hard to believe the iPhone could be worse), I plan to buy one.

Ah, found the info on price. AT&T gets it on the back end with a $10/mo bump in the cost of the data package. Still, it will take 2 years before the total cost of ownership exceeds the current cost - by then, who knows what will be available. Far better smartphone that addresses most of the first generation's shortcomings for virtually the same two-year cost of ownership - seems like a deal to me.

As long as it is exclusive to AT&T, I will be one of tens of millions who will continue to resist.

+1.
I'm so sick of the blagosphere creaming their pants over Apple's products. Like Mike said, gimme a Nokia N95 any day.
But heck - I don't want all those features in a phone. I can't imagine needing to browse the internet when I'm out and about - I want to be out and about. I've got an mp3 player that has much higher sound quality than anything Apple can put out, so I wouldn't want the iPhone's crappy music player.
Plus, I just like to be contrary and avoid the hyped-up fad that is the iPhone.

3G was something I was looking forward to myself, but as Snowman said...Ah well.
Anyway, does anyone know when it'll be on sale in Asia?

I can resist for three reasons:
1. I don't have that kind of disposable income.
B. I don't like people, much less talking to them.

Hell if Tracfones per minute prices are anything like they used to be (50 - 75 cents/minute) I don't think I can think of anyone I'd want to talk to bad enough to use one.

16.6cents a minute. I bought a card that doubles the airtime of all cards purchased after it with no time limit.It never roams on me either. And Tracfone works well in this neck of the woods, Verizon and Sprint don't.

I sure can.
A gadget with 255 kazillioner features, and looks like a bad end of a fight with a steamroller....
No thank you
PS.: Is it at all possible to make/receive calls with it?
