A week after setting up a company dedicated to selling a product that allows the Apple iPhone to be used in New Zealand, Layton Duncan received his first big order – worth up to $300 million.

So it's $436 for the phone and $299 for the sim card. Damn thats far too expensive. I wouldn't pay that for any phone.

Well it's $399 US for the 8GB iPhone which is actually cheaper than equivalent smart phones. We just luck out big time because we aren't mainland US.

590116 2007-09-11 04:24:00 There was a video of a knock off posted a while back on YouTube running Windows Mobile. Both were pretty rude looking. It would seem that the Touch Screen UI is very hard to copy ;):p and do well - say this as I notice that the copiers have had to use actual hardware buttons on the device as opposed to touch UI buttons. winmacguy (3367)
590117 2007-09-11 06:46:00 I suppose it is the ultimate toy for all the apple fanboys.

Mind you I'd buy one; if it didn't look so gay, AND if it wasn't white, oh AND if it wasn't made by apple, AND it wasn't a complete waste of money

If you did some research you would know that the iPhone is actually made of aluminum and is not white but it is made by Apple which is probably why it is selling so well - unlike the Zune which is made by Microsoft :p

A majority of the buyers are educated consumers with college degrees.
