The 3G has come into use for several years, many of us like it very much, as well as the iPhone. In addition to the iPhone 3G’s swift surfing, though, the second game-changing element to this device is its price. When compared to the first iPhone’s pricing of $399 or $499, the iPhone 3G sounds like a steal. Of course, this is one main reason why people have waited in line for hours upon hours in the first days of the iPhone 3G’s release. It’s half the price of its pricey predecessor.
For a device in the do-it-all smartphone game, $199 for the 8-gigabyte version and $299 for the 16-gigabyte version is actually affordable. The iPhone 3G is tapping into an entirely new crowd who couldn’t afford the first iPhone or just refused to shell out that kind of cash. As a last note on pricing, make sure to consult your specific situation to determine whether or not the new $199 or $299 pricing will actually be applicable to you.
Based on a well-voted poll on the baidu.com cell phones site, 35 percent of people said they wouldn’t buy an iPhone 3G at all while 29 percent said they’d spend $199, 11 percent said they’d want to upgrade for free, 10 percent would spent $299 and 8 percent want one but can’t afford it.
