article published on 27 March, 2009

Last week we reported that Apple was contemplating selling unsubsidized, unlocked iPhone 3Gs, and it appears that as of yesterday, Apple and AT&T retail stores have begun selling the phones at $599 for the 8GB model and $699 USD for the 16GB smartphone.

$700 for a friggen cell phone? There is absolutely nothing about the phone that makes it worth $700. If your an Apple fan, you might as well just save up a little more money and buy a Macbook.

Um, whaaaaa-a-a-at?! Fail!

An iPhone is nothing but a computer, that happens to make phone calls. In fact, every cell phone, by definiton IS a computer. -.-' Come on now.

Google "computer definition" sometime.

You could purcahse a netbook for half that price.

It'd be faster, and better, heck you can even carry it around with you, probably the same battery life, bigger screen, make internet phone calls and everything.

A phone costing that amount of money makes no sense, and I think phones previously cost way to much.

Also, most things are computers. I think what we are talking about here though is it a personal computer a PC. A calculator is a computer, however it is not a personal computer.

Is a personal computer defined as having computer abilites with a GUI?

Most likely.
