Something does not seem right here with the pricing. Those figures are just absurd.

And I was doing that to see if i was eligible for the 199/299 pricing, and it told me ide be able to upgrade to the iphone 3gs for the 399/499 prices. And by the way I do have an iPhone 3g. Im pretty sure that apples website couldnt find out what phone I had. But im just wondering if you would know cause im to lazy to talk to an Apple rep after waiting for 10 minites on hold LOL! thanks for your time!! are you 100% sure about that?

I've been paying $85/month for my year ($50 family plan, $30 data plan, $5 texting plan), so they won't let me get the upgrade at the reduced price until December, 18 months after the original purchase. BS. This 1-year mark is only true if you were paying $99+ for the line you want to upgrade.

I am not going to bitch about whether the new iPhone 3G(S) simply "costs more" than the first iPhone 3G. Fuck I paid $1100 for the latter, and most of this was simply the deposit. If the newest iteration has improved hardware, as it clearly does, then it is more than worth the price. Secondly, I think anyone that disparages and/or dismisses the necessity of Flash technology on the iPhone to be a MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT. In lieu of the fact that Flash technology powers over 90% of internet media and/or interactivity, I find it fucking ludicrous that it has not been integrated into the iPhone. I also consider the fucking retarded pseudo-argument that the iPhone, allegedly, "can't function efficiently with it," to be an absolutely fucking farce. The new iPhone 3G(S), in particular, has more than the requisite quantity of RAM and/or CPU speed to negotiate with the demands of memory and/or processor intensive applications. Besides, I would strongly consider a custom designed "miniature" version of Flash, specifically tailored for the iPhone OS, to be dramatically less demanding than a corresponding "pc class" version of Flash. Overall, I consider updating the hardware of a system to be an utmost priority. Bye. I do agree that the +$700 price is exorbitant and a fucking joke, but I am still willing to pay it.
