If you're american i don't think you have this problem but if you are from europe you will undeerstand me. IPhone in has a pricetag at around 1000 dollars. Can you believe it? Well, I can't believe it and I don't have any ideas of why it's so expensive. I mean , the Nokia N95 is better than the iPhone and it is around 650 dollars. So back to my question.

Sometimes things sell because they are expensive. Some people are slaves to status symbols.

I was gonna buy it but seeing that the cheapest plan is 69.99 $ I'll rather get another phone like the Instinct.

Because the iPhone is awesome. You can get one in the states for $200, and it also has better mobile mail and the 3G network, so all those whiny bloggers who were looking for any reason to fault the original can eat their words.

If I had Cingular I'd buy an iphone in a heartbeat.

Because lots of people will buy into the hype and simply buy it to own it. Even though it won't improve your life in any way at all and is basically just a mobile phone with a bunch of unneeded features (all of which have been done before).
