to mRvT and others:
Apple claims that one of the reason that this phone is "revolutionary" is that it's all touch screen and that there WON'T BE ANY STYLUS.
My question is: does no on realize that by having a full touch screen the screen will get dirty sooooo often? Just try it with your mobile right now- touch the screen with your fingers and you'll see how it gets all smodgy and greasy at times.
If you're willing to clean the screen every hour OK but otherwise I still prefer old fashioned buttons.

here is the good news........ as the experts suggest that the manufacturing cost of the phone is around $249 and it is expecting 50% margin of profit from the phone which is too high ; there is a forecast that the price of the iphone would be brought down to $350 after couple of months of launch i.e. june.... I think this should work for some apple folks like me......... correct me if I'm wrong. well the other reason for lowering the price would be the competetion from LG, samsung and sony tooo. they are comming up with some similiar phones......... so did apple make a mistake by bragging about their phone 5 months before actual launch ....... because 5 months is more than enough to produce a phone of similiar capacity .......

The iPhone costs Apple only $250 for the 4GB phone and $280 for the 8GB version to manufacture according to some reports.
And though Apple has to spend on R&D and marketing and other business costs but for the most part, those costs would have been incurred anyway. I'll bet that Apple spent relatively little to put the iPhone together since it really didnt develop any new technology here.
THE BUZZ WAS SO GREAT, THAT APPLE PROBABLY DIDNT NEED TO SPEND A DIME ON MARKETING.
Lastly, now that we know how much the phone costs, it raises new questions...why didnt Apple create just one version of the phone (ie 8 Gigs) and why didnt it improve some of the specs that people are complaining about, like the camera or lack of 3G or lack of GPS (these chipsets cost $5).
Seems to me like Apple chose profit over their supposed desire and ability to serve the customer.

LG and Apple go head to head with the iPhone and the KE850 Prada in the fashion phone category. Let's see if other manufacturers copy this (basically cool phone + cool ui) or just push for more complex features and integration.

Wow, people are just forgetting that you can't have your cake and eat it to. There is no phone ever made on the market today that dose EVERYTHING so people are just always comparing a phone to something else. With the wifi ability the internet will be awesome and remember the phone is the offspring of the ipod in a way and is designed for great multimedia like most apple products so just wait till what the next phone they launch has to offer and people need to stop being so negative.

The only (and BIGGEST) problem with this phone is the touchscreen.
Think about it.
Do you realize how often the screen will get dirty and smodgy due to dirty fingers.
If you don't mind cleaning the screen constantly then you might not be bothered.
But I still prefer old fashioned buttons which leave the screen nice and clean (or at least cleaner).
