iPhone disappointment
Apple just lowered the price of the iPhone by $200, only 2 months after it came out. I bought one right when it was released, and I'm really disappointed.
After all the trouble of waiting for it to be released and getting one early, I feel like we early adopters are being punished. We had to deal with ATT and Apple giving out conflicting information about their phone plans, spotty network service and dropped calls, visual voicemail suddenly disappearing for good (it was a major reason i got the phone in the first place) and now they're telling us that we paid $200 too much for our trouble on top of it all.
I feel like a sucker and certainly won't be the first to buy an Apple product again.

I can’t understand why fellow apple users feel like suckers for the i-phone price drop. While Jobs has generally stuck with being a “good guy”, I don’t get why you and others (such as this http://strumpette.com/archives/555-Jobs-to-Appleheads-Drop-Dead.html) can’t see that Job is like everyone else. Buy an ipod? Expect the price to drop, or better yet, new versions to come out in a few months. Early adopters pay for that role; they pay through the nose and likely watch the price go down soon thereafter. X-Box, Playstation, any new cell phone, computers, it’s a running joke that that they drop. http://www.hitokiri.com/blog/archives/2007/09/i_heart_my_ipho.php has a great post on the subject. This shouldn’t surprise anyone that Jobs is in it for the buck; it should be surprising that he was so dumb in how he approached and executed it.
