Only Apple can released a half assed device with features from the 90s and then make people pay twice once for 3g and now for better camera, its ridiculous and why i will never buy another Apple product.]]>Jun 19th 2009 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/

In all seriousness, many factors lead to it not being a huge deal.
#1. Its not a huge speed bump from EDGE to 3g and the new feature set isn't a huge upgrade
#2. The early upgrade fee isn't being waived this time around
#3. Economy
#4. Pre-Orders with home delivery.]]>Jun 19th 2009 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/
I don't know how much the rest of you know about European culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole and selling overpriced outdated crap. If you screw someone over in Europe, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the European public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase iphone 3GS, nor will they purchase any of Apple's Products anymore. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but apple has alienated an entire market with iphone 3GS release.

Apple, publicly apologize and cancel iphone 3GS or you can kiss your business goodbye]]>Jun 19th 2009 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Sheep can spell?

wtf are you on about? Europe isn't a country, its a collection of various (very different) countries. You can't just make a sweeping statement like that - that would be like me saying "In the Americas, pride and guilt play a large part."

You're nuts.]]>Jun 19th 2009 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 4:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/

I think Apple have made a great move by not giving the iphone 3gs a completly new look. So if your iphone use is pure fashion, you still look business with the previous generation iphone. But if your use is technical, the 3gs has some minor adventages. ]]>Jun 19th 2009 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 5:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Nokia, samsung etc do release similar phones in their product line but the release 20 to 30 phones a year vs apple's 1.

Wow you have to be one of the biggest douches on the planet. It's very obvious you are one of those European snobs who thinks he knows everything.

Outdated? How exactly is the iPhone outdated? I guess you must have some neat space powered phone.

Shut your dumb Euro trash mouth, you are obviously very jealous. You do realize that the only reason people make fun of anything is because they are either threatened or jealous.....You are a sad sad person.]]>Jun 19th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 22nd 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jz0x5SDGFM]]>Jun 19th 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/BB's joke is based the thought process: "The Pre is far outclassed by the 3G S, and not many people are buying it either. Hahaha!"
I thought it was kinda funny myself. Also, I plan to buy a Pre when they become available on my planet.

In all fairness, I´m actually surprise. Apple normally manages to hype their products so strongly that people are willing to drop their iPod for a "newer" much shinier version up until now. You could argue that the iPhone on the contrary of the iPod has much fiercer competition but on the music players market there are also plenty of other producers who have their products rolling out of the pipeline. Also just like the iPhone, the Pre doesnt seem to sell that strongly either. So I do wonder where those consumers go to...]]>Jun 19th 2009 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/19/iphone-3g-s-fizzles-out-for-global-retail/Jun 19th 2009 3:44AM
