iPhone pricing is out.
This is one expensive mother. 4GB phone = 499$. 599$ for the 8GB model. A 36$ activation fee. Service plans start at 60 bucks and go to 80 and then 100 bucks a month.
This is a pretty expensive phone and the service plans sound like a rip off. But the 36$ activation fee really ticks me off personally. That's like a slap in the face. Basically saying to customers - you're desperate and we know it.
My prediction...this phone will have a great launch for the first few months. After which sales will fizzle out until the product is launched outside the US and is sold in regular retail not tied to a service plan.

It's going to flop.
All of the rate plans do include unlimited data which actually makes them a pretty decent deal. The $500-600 upfront is a lot to justify for a phone, though.
If the web browsing works as well as it is rumoured to, this will be a huge sucess ($5B revenue per year product).....if not, it is just another phone and Apple will still sell a couple million of them because it says "Apple" on it, but it won't bring non-Apple fanatics to buy one.
Phenomenal dual core comes in March

AMD couldn't make a real chip if their survival was dependent on it.
