I read about that and didn't get it either. i think the point was that the phone will simply not work with out an Iplan and an Iplan requires a two year contract. Not to mention the phone is strongly locked to ATT.

It is the only price for now until we learn how to unlock it then the prices will come down on the next gen.

The phone lacks a removable SIM, it is internal....so there will be no unlocking

incorrect. it does have a removable sim...

the prices are at retail.. that is the only prices for the phone. the cus just has to sign a 2 yr contract to get it. there is no discount price.

Do you know it?

yup....cant tell ya anything tho...policy and all. 😁

damn....why they telling us not to tell people this stuff if they have it on the website....f'n tards

don't know? activation, return policy, built in sim, all clearly listed in public view on the website.

the sim is in the box of the phone

Q. Does iPhone work out of the box?
A. No. iPhone must be activated before it can be used. iPhone includes a pre-installed SIM card for your convenience.

straight from the website. pre-installed does not mean in the box.

pre-installed also does not mean that its "built in"....just pre installed.

it does mean pre-installed in the device, not just in the box. also, if you watch the activation video on apple's website, it never asks you for the SIM number activation only the serial number from the device. interesting. never seen a gsm device activate without entering a SIM number, unless the SIM number is on the outside of the device.

yeah, strange...

or they already have the sim number thats associated with the serial number since it already comes with one.....i dont know?

i dont think the sim is "built in", i think it just comes with one in it already (which im pretty sure you can take remove).

from what ive seen there is a small pin hole that you poke with a paper clip that will release the sim card tray....

You didnt answer my question?? Do you know if the $599 is full retail price?

EVERYONE, and I mean everyone will pay either $499 or $599 for the phone. That is the retail price, the "upgrade"/"contract extension" price, the business price, etc. Also everyone will be paying the full rate plan price as well. 😁

something about a 10-15% restocking fee? not unique or unexpected.. something more than that?

Is'nt it a 14 day return period and 10% restocking fee?

The only thing that I read is that if you sell an iphone and it is DOA you can't return it for a new one, you have to mail it to applecare to get it fixed.




The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is that apple wants to sell 10 million of these devices the first year, how does it expect to meet these sales quoata's without offering a no committment price to existing customers. I think market penetration is too deep to lure in 10 million new customers.

I thought that was 10 Mil. worldwide by the end of 2008.. they really aren't shooting that high.. considering a billion cell phones are sold a year.. or something close to it..

i dont think they are going to go worldwide....i dont even think they are offering it to peurto rico and the virgin islands.

huh? isn't the Euro version is slated q4/07 or q1/08..

i have no idea....
