iPhone price drops $200
The price of an 8GB iPhone just got lower, and the 4GB iPhone is on its way out, according to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. He announced the 8GB iPhone's new price will be $399, down $200 from its original $599 price. Well now, how does that make those of us early adopters who dropped $600 on the first ones feel? Hmm.

Re: iPhone price drops $200
My BIL and a quite a few friends work for Cingular. I was told that there won't be a new IPhone until at least next year because of the sh*tstorm it would cause from the people who rushed to get it at launch. I think the phone is really cool but I think good service > good phone.
