I think the Apple iPhone is way too expensive...

John, the iPhone caters to the American market. That is to say it has fewer features than many Japanese or European phones, where you're able to purchase products using bluetooth at a mini-mart. My wife has a Motorola RAZR phone and it's highly over-rated. The price has come way down, though and with the deep discounts they're offering for new customers, someone like Jake might even be able to afford one... ROFL!

I guess that bozo spud has another person to go off on tirade with :^) "Further limiting the iPhone’s viable market is its price relative to those of competing products. One of the key reasons for the strong growth in smart phone sales among consumers in 2006 was the availability of lower, more affordable models, whether the result of prices cuts, higher subsidies by service providers or greater use of rebate programs. Indeed, many of the current smart phones available sell for roughly half what the iPhone is expected to cost at launch with a two-year contract." forbes.com
