I just bought my iphone on monday..I had better get those 200 bills back.

I just came in class and this guy ordered his phone like one day too early to take it back. He was like "Fuck me!" and he thought i was kidding when i said 200 dollars. 200 dollars is an insane drop.

i agree, but not on fewer dropped calls. its been exactly the same for me, but my three year old phone i had with Verizon did have much better sound for some reason.

i was a hardcore AT&T sucks, Verizon fanboy for the past few years and up until about two weeks ago I'd argue with anyone that Verizon has better service. well two weeks ago i switched to AT&T and notice no difference. i'm done with the 'which carrier is better' arguement because now i know that theyre both the same.

if Verizon finally realizes that their phones suck i'll switch back when two year contract with AT&T ends, but for now i'm satisfied with AT&T.
Verizon's phones suck because they don't have the iPhone. I see.
 
80gb classic I reckon.
Though a lot of great homebrew will be for the touch now which is a shame.

Coming next year, iPod nano goes back to anodized aluminum.

At least you're still able to return it, even if you have to pay a restocking fee you'll get most of the money back.

No kidding. Co-worker just saw the $399 price for the 8GB and about punched my monitor. She just ordered a 4GB refurb on Monday. :lol

Same here. One foot is out the door. I tried calling the store to make sure they had stock...shockingly, they never answered.
 
God those Nano's are ugly. Plus I think they actually got to a point size-wise, where they aren't comfortable to hold any more.
 
Oh, there's hope for us. iPod touch is €299 & €399. Means the 8GB iPhone should be €399 as well...




Shipped on September 28th

you have fell into there trap of honey :D


also on the nano, when they get round to just making it a screen and creditcard size that think will be killer.
 
Boom! Didn't go down well, this one.

ugh, didn't even notice that they switched back to chrome. I love the anodized finish on my shuffle as I can just throw it in my pocket with my keys and it still doesn't get scratched.

actually i didnt switch because of the iphone. we just didnt like any of the phones at the verizon store so we went to at&t and my whole family got the nokia 6126 or whatever its called; trust me i'll never get an iphone regardless of how fancy it is. its very functional and i liked it when at the at&t store, but i'll never spend that much money on a phone.

Euro prizes:


Touch
8GB 299€
16GB 399€

Classic
80GB 249€
160GB 349€

Thats' what I hate about Apple prices, their prices for us Europeans. Couldn't they at least take of 20€ to make it more acceptable?
 
anyone got a comparison of the UK, Euro and US prices together in each currency for each (inc iphone).

Maybe there will be some deals by selectively importing.

I am so weak.


I can't believe I have an Iphone and I'm still going to buy a Ipod Touch. What the fuck is wrong with me!!!

touch 8GB: $299 (€220/£150)
------------- €299 (£199/$400)
--------------£199 (€299/$400)

touch 16GB: $399 (€299/£200)
---------------€399 (£269/$550)
---------------£269 (€399/$550)

normal prices are local apple retail prices. prices in brackets are the local retail prices converted to the other currencies

so if you live in the UK and are visiting the US, you can pick up a 16GB touch for about £200
 
Do apple's student discounts go for iPods too? If I get 10% off for returning a broken one and another 10% for being a student I will be getting one of these.
 
God, a $200 price drop this early. WTF, man? I still dig the iPhone but WOW that's hurtin'. Not making me feel too good about that purchase. I can't imagine what people who just bought them even more recently think...a $200 drop after two months is insanity.

prices in brackets are the Euro/UK prices converted into dollars(!)

importing it is then for anyone outside of the US

Iphone for £200 too, think i'll wait to see the UK prices on that one too.
