| 686248 | 2008-07-08 04:10:00 | I wonder why apple haven't released a 32GB one, when they do have a 32GB touch. I notice Paul has been very quiet, maybe he is not impressed either, although he won't admit it. And you think some of my posts get a hard time :D I hope he is not impressed - those prices are Muntlandish! This'll go straight down the gurgler. |

Some people will still buy it, and maybe they will even have a line of people waiting for it. However in 6 months they will probably regret they got it. |

| 686252 | 2008-07-08 04:40:00 | Yes the pricing is high. But with any phone that is subsidized your locked into a contract. What are the plans like compared to vodafones other data plans and telecoms? Apparently you can get it on a you choose contract without the subsidy. This post is a pointless exercise since I won't be getting one |

Update - the Herald responses are running at 11 pages and growing. :thumbs: |

They could then be releasing updated cheaper pricing on thursday, to make them look like the good guys for listening to public feedback. Hey they backed down on the locked phones(albeit after the commerce commission sent them a warning letter), so anythings possible. |

| 686257 | 2008-07-08 05:00:00 | I note that on the heralds homepage it states Everybody's angry at Vodafone's iPhone pricing plan… More So it looks like they are going to get a major grilling. Pauls going to be a busy man explaining things. One of the good things about the iphone pricing, is that it allows NZ's mobile costs to be comapred to the rest of the world, and it just shows how much NZer's are overcharged. I mean NZs iphone rates must be the worst in the world. I am sure Apple will not be impressed by this bad coverage, as it reflects very badly on Apple, and they may force them to change their pricing. |
