You could say the same with Samsung Omnia, HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia E90 and Sony-Ericsson Xperia. They are all very expensive.

Just like what it said on The Matrix, “Everything that has a beginning has an end.”

I love my Apple products. Everything’s going smoothly except for this MobileMe launch which has always been on the rocks since the dotmac-me transition started. Until now the comments section in my iWeb page still doesn’t work. I’m happy that Apple is aware of their still-buggy MobileMe product but I’m not sure if the 3-month extension is generous enough to compensate the issues.

And I have often wondered that the iPhone 3G launch has also got something to do with these bugs of course. I couldn’t appreciate what they’re trying to improve or to do because the issues they caused on their other product are getting out of hand already.

yeah im saying it after the iPhone 3G launch. as an Apple user of a number of years, the launch really cheapened the product by making it hard to access.

People think I have a preference for Mac products because of the stereotype “hype” and coolness factor. The truth is, I learned most of my multimedia on a Mac and really found it so easy to use compared to Windows.

So I was expecting it to be just as easy to have access to an iPhone. I don’t care about the 40k price. It’s just money and people can earn that. It just sucks how compromising it is to own one, it’s not worth it.

And you’re saying this just after the iPhone 3G launch? I guess it’s because just about anyone can now claim to have a piece of Apple’s great products? =)

@raw_knee – sadly it might not even be the telco’s “fault” as they are mandated by their regional partner to sell this phone. it’s more of like they have no choice but to sell it.

I strongly disagree with the way [name of the service provider here] took advantage the of the iPhone and all people interested with it. How I wish other local telcos would have been allowed by Apple to sell the iPhone.

Kudos to this well-written post.

Oh ok. Whew! I thought we had lost a mac fanatic. I agree, it would take me some time to think about purchasing an iphone. but trust in apple… I am hearing rumors that by 2010 the lock-in agreements might be over?

@noelperlas – im of course referring to the iphone line and comparing it to how easy it was to buy a mac. the iphone treatment for purchasing isn’t very compelling.
