krysiszone: www.toshcomputers.com have stated on their website that they may be able to offer the 16gb iphone for $100 less than vodafones  standalone price.

So another way we could not buy from vodafone.

nickindeedy: Arg This is BS! and this is coming from the guy who wanted to pay anything to get his hands on this beast...

GUess not.

Shall we boycot the iphone in NZ till the prices drop? I think so. dont even give them the satisfaction of a petition. I think they will realise there is a problem when they have leftovers a week from july 11


Boo

exportgoldman: Where is the $50 plan Mark Rushworth talked about on John Campbell tonight on Vodafone's iPhone Pricing page. The lowest one I see is $80

You need to look a little deeper its hidden... right at the back... where no one can see it.

DasKid: What's up with the Apple Store?  Maybe it's allergic to bad publicity, an overloading of the RDF or something.

Maybe because Mark Rushworth said that Apple puts prices higher for Macs v.s. PCs, when comparing prices for the iPhone...

It's the data, man. Think of the DAATAAAA. Data is, like, heavy. And stuff. And we're going to, like run out, man. PEAK DATA, MAN. In 2050, we'll have no data, and you'll know who to blame, you greedy buggers using data-guzzling gadgets like its 2008.

Here it is  {snip image}

Let's be fair folks. If you don't want to pay $250 a month, just get a You Chose plan with less voice minutes, and an appropriate mobile broadband plan.

Or is everyone here looking for a $199 iPhone?

nickindeedy: Me too. It would be perfect if the team here could keep it in there trousers for another few months just to make vodafone shake a bit. If no one at geekzone brought a iphone. That would be a significant chunk of profit

My work will be buying all of us (10-15) iPhone's 3G as we are a big Apple IT integrator, and one of the bigger Apple resellers. My iPhone's screen is cracked, and bits of glass are flacking off, so I am actually genuinely hanging out for one. :-)

The biggest thing for me is getting e-mail on my phone, and Visual Voicemail, the first I can do with a 2G phone, and I hear even though we have the most expensive plans in the world, we don't get Visual Voicemail. 

I've just changed jobs, so still figuring out which way is up, but I'll be interested what price we can buy them from at Renaissance wholesale.

Tosh rocks, I upgraded memory to 4GB and HDD to 160GB 7200RPM for very reasonable prices on MBP.

Good to hear...They will be getting my custom again. Hear that Vodafone? That's the sound of my money not going into your pockets...Nor anyone in my family...Or anyone I give tech advice to. That's a few grand. Oh well.
