Its funny how the price is $199 for 8GB but everyone keeps saying $199 as if that is the only price. You know most buyers will get the 16GB and the 8GB will go the way the 4GB went.

Next people are saying that the extra $10 for 3G data (required) the extra $10 for unlimited texting these per month costs are no big deal. So $20 x 24 =$480 + $299 = $779 so that is more than you paid for your iPhone a year ago? Was the texting plan different a year ago? Plus we don't have the final voice pricing.

You are paying more over the 2 years iPhone to iPHone since that is the ONLY comparison here. BB's are not an iPhone (thank god or RIM for that) and the iPhone certainly is NOT a BlackBerry. They are different and reach different audiences.

At least you can cut and past on a BB something you STILL can't do on an iPhone a year later and counting.
