I saw the news yesterday that among other announcements, Apple was dropping the price of the 8 Gb iPhone by $200. I didn't really think about it too much until my coworkers kept asking me how I felt about it (with their smug smiles). I think they assumed that since I got one late at night on the first day that I would be mad because of the large price drop after just 2 months. But to tne contrary I'm not mad because I think it is worth the money that I paid for it. I'm not upset and I'm not going to email Steve (steve@apple.com) and complain and ask for a $200 voucher or check. I've had my iPhone for 2 months now and I have to say that it is by far the best cell phone and iPod that I've ever had. I've had very few issues with it and I will say again that it doesn't do everything under the sun, but the things that it does, it does exceedingly well. I could bore you with pages and pages of text recalling times that I was pleasantly suprised by the iPhone. I can't speak for other iPhone owners, but speaking for myself, I'm not mad or upset with the price drop. But focusing on the price drop, I'm guessing that sales were not where Apple wanted them to be at this point, so they decided to drop the price in order to entice more people to buy them. We'll see if that works...
