567490 2007-07-09 23:57:00 for those who feel that the current version is out of their price range.

" Long lines of people turned out on June 29 when U.S. sales began for the iPhone, a mobile phone with a music player and Web browser. Analysts have estimated that sales in the first weekend were as high as 700,000 units.

Chang said a way to follow up the iPhone with a cheaper version would be to convert the Nano into a phone and price it at $300 or lower. The iPhone sells for $500 and $600, depending on storage space."

567493 2007-07-10 01:27:00 Yeah, the HTC phones look very nice and are functional without the price wallop that the iPhone packs. beeswax34 (63)
567494 2007-07-10 01:35:00 Just out of interest what is the price range for an eMate, Blackberry or HP iPaq phone in NZ? (plus cost of 2 year contract) winmacguy (3367)
567495 2007-07-10 01:41:00 I just checked out Portables Plus for the HP iPaq starting at $744 incl so the iPhone doesn't look so bad pricewise. winmacguy (3367)

Tis all rumour and speculation at this stage, although considering the development history of the iPod family it is likely that a smaller possibly lesser featured version of the iPhone will surface in due course with a smaller price tag.

You have got me even more excited now. Two iphones that I can save a huge amount of money by not purchasing - if one could here in NZ....

I have already saved heaps by not buying an ipod! I feel good about that!
