I was wondering the same thing. Makes the "Back-to-School" deal seem a little whack as well, though you can't apply that to an iPhone. If Apple wanted market saturation, /that/ would've been the way to go.]]>Jun 9th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.apple.com/iphone/ and look at the * next to the $199 price. Its with a 2 year contract, I wonder what it would cost without contract or if you alrady have an Iphone from last year.]]>Jun 9th 2008 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/
So therefore we in the UK will get it for a MAXIMUM £100?? :D...]]>Jun 9th 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/
What I meant, I know I wasn't clear, was if you already have a contract and you buy the phone, is it still the same price? Even if you already have a contract? And the answer is yes, you'll have to restart your two year agreement like with the last iPhone, but you won't get charged more(or "full price" as is the case with other phones) if you already have a contract, like they do with other phones. I hope this is clear.

So the full price of the phone is $199, that's not the incentive price to get you to sign a contract, that's the full price. ]]>Jun 9th 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 9th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 10th 2008 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/
The 8GB is £99 on the £35 and the new £30 tariffs, free on £45 or £55.
16GB's £159 on £30 and £35, £59 on £45 - still free on £55.

(The £30 tariff is rubbish though! A quarter of the minutes and an eighth of the texts compared to £35. No point.)

It's even coming to pay-and-go - though, seeing as you have to have to pay full price for the phone anyway, it'll probably cost more.

So, turns out he wasn't joking - it really is no more than $199.]]>Jun 10th 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 10th 2008 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 11th 2008 2:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/
The handset costs $200 less, right?
The contract fee went up $10 but lost the bundled text messaging, which normally costs $5.

Therefore, the increase, if you want the same service, is $15.
$15 times 24 months = $360.

So, you add $360 to the price, but then subtract $200.
You're still $160 behind!

Why are people so excited that it's cheaper? It isn't.

Let's say that you don't want the texting:
$10 times 24 months = $240.
$240 added to the price, $200 subtracted. You are STILL $40 behind!!!

No way, no how is this a price drop. It's clever advertising and false marketing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an Apple fan to the core, but ATT is making fools of you.]]>Jun 10th 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/Jun 11th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/iphone-3g-is-finally-official/
