3000 bones? Is that sarcasm? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'm pretty sure they're in the $499 range. Still too expensive for for a piece of tech jewelry. The iPhone looks to have some interesting features, but its list of shortcomings is surprisingly...long:

what-the-iphone-doesnt-have

And yet, the Applebots all get in line.

I'm so happy they're finally releasing the thing though, maybe now all the goddamn hype will subside.

nope ...

$600 for the phone, and they lock you in a contract for $2400 of service ...

$600 + $2400 = $3000
