The $99 iPhone 3G

[Night Spring]

How do other smartphones compare to the newly priced iPhone 3G in terms of packing "bang for a buck"? Could this be the real "competition killer" Apple has slipped into their marketing stragedy?

This is the real star of the show!

nope...other phones will still sell better than the iPhone because of the monthly rate


$99 only makes the iPhone more RAZR-esque.

Agreed, this is a killer deal.

Are the PAYG prices on the 8GB 3G going down?

Should be $100 cheaper on Pay As You Go. I believe it's $499 now.

Really? You are in the US, when comparing rates of Nokia/Blackberry/HTC smartphones, they are all around $30 per month? (exception: T-Mobile).

Is there a PAYG or SIM-free option available in the USA? This $99 is only when a 2 year contract is started correct?
