If people considered the phone to be worth $600, precisely how did they
get screwed? If they didn't consider it to be worth $600, why did they
buy it?

Perhaps because when the price fell $200 the perception of the iPhone's
value fell,. Perception is everything, as Jobs rapidly realised, hence
the $100 "rebate".

I *am* a customer in that position, so the 'all' is definitely wrong....

If you people don't want an iPhone, and hate them so much, why are you
all going out of your way to try and dismiss them as garbage? Just don't
get one and enjoy whatever phone you have and move on.
These jealous rants about iphones are just proving to all just how much
you really want one. I have yet to see anyone who actually owns one
complain about it. <yawn>

I'm not, but I'm really sick and fucking tired of people posting all the
iPhone crap in newsgroups dedicated to CARRIERS WHOSE NETWORKS THE iPHONE
WON'T EVEN RUN ON.
Alt.cellular.cingular, OK. Alt.cellular.tmobile, OK, at least it's the
same technology. .verizon, .sprintpcs, .alltel - come on, those customers
couldn't use a GSM iPhone even if it was unlocked. I've seen posts in all
of those newsgroups. .nokia? Why? So some drooling Apple fanboy can tell us
all how much Nokia sucks?
My take is that the iPhone is cool. I wouldn't buy one, but I can understand
why other people might. But several newsgroups have been overrun by iPhone
posts. It's obnoxious. Go away already; many (most?) of us don't care.

Says the Oxturd sock puppet. Keep the iPhone shit out of non-relevant
groups, asshole.

Ben, Ben, Ben.......
It's not the case of me (others?) liking it and Apple - or not.
This is not what is happening.
What IS happening is some LOON of a fanboy (Oxford, or whatever name de jour)
coming into OUR group, making idiotic, baseless and inflammatory statements. Trying
to do everything possible to be a LARGE pain in the ass. The reaction to his insane shit is
what you are seeing. It is out of place and inappropriate. Not to mention 100% wrong.
Reign wackjob fanboy in and all will settle back down.
