    Question How much would you pay for the iPhone?

    Following up on curious cat's earlier post on the iphone, and realising that most people have a serious grouse about the possible pricing of the iphone,

    I wonder just how much folks are willing to pay for such a device, or how much you think it should be sold for?

    Remember it could be:

    1. A 4gb ipod nano with a 3.5" touch screen and widescreen video viewing capability
    2. A mobile phone with Bluetooth 2.0 + wifi 802,1b AND g + 3G + 4gb storage
    3. A PDA (I dare you to tell me tell me its not a PDA; if you can call a lifedrive one....well, a mobile manager )
    4. A UMPC-like device that runs a sophisticated OS

    HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY?
    will the child you once were, be proud of the adult you have become?

    PDAs > Palm Tungsten T3 >> T|X + 4gb A-Data SD Card + Gomadic Battery Extender + Razr V3x + Tomtom Navigator 5 + seidio G4850S powered mount + apple imac G5 24" + Palm Treo 750v (yes; windows mobile, and looooving it ) iPhone 2g (Jailbroken), iPhone 3g (Jailbroken) but still waiting for iphone 3.0!

    I would pay 300GBP but wouldn't want it locked to a service provider so guess I will have to wait.

    Also I believe the device isn't 3G capable just GSM with EDGE support, so a version 2 with 3G support would be preferable to me but the inclusion of Wi-Fi does offset the lack of 3G somewhat.

    My wife told me last night I can have it for Christmas 07 if it passes the $350 barrier

    Which would be a miracle, eh? How long has the video iPod stayed at $349, what, 3 years?

    Himpressive - could you avoid posting in capitals? On internet, it is considered to be 'shouting'.

    I'm posting in London. Is that considered shouting? Should I move to Piddle Trenthide to avoid being rude?
