It is still a great idea, I don’t think the price point is sustainable. It has got to cost a lot more to produce even with the 2 year contract!

The answer to your question to me is no, they are not going to do this (in the next year or two).

Meg-

Is there a specific application I need to download to make the iPhone a chick magnet? When I read Plumber’s comments I ran out and bought one (16gig, ‘cuz bigger is better i heard) and now you are saying it will not have the desired “result”. Bummer.

I thought all the Grrls would come up to me and say “Is that an iPhone in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?”

I already had my Deion Sanders response ready…

BOTH! (old Pizza Hut commercial line)…

hehehehe

With Iphone’s ease of use, compared to other smartphones, they will sell like crazy. The plan prices have come down,but they need to enlarage their network

For people like me who are over 50, a $99 iPhone makes sense. Let’s face it. Most folks in my demographic aren’t downloading huge numbers of mp3’s tunes or mp4 videos from the internet, so a 4GB limit is no big deal. I do agree with the others that the data plan needs to come down in price.

I am going to miss my special cell phone with the rotary dial on it.

Cornered an AT&T rep at a Walmart in N.J. this afternoon. Hinted it would be after the New Year.

I have a 4GB 1st gen iPhone and have been very happy with it. Smartphone? Not a smartphone? Drank the Kool-Aid…whatever.

I was a Blackberry user for years and preferred the UI and design of the iPhone. Period.

As far as it being a status symbol? That’s a little odd to me. I never thought of it as one. I saw it as a mobile device that made certain aspects of my life more convenient and I enjoyed using it. Mine is so scarred up and dented – it’s embarrassing.

Anyway, I agree with another post that the 4GB iPhone for $99 may very well be refurbed 1st Gens. I, personally, would drop $99 on either if I could avoid renewing the contract. If I’m gonna’ do that – I’m goin’ for a 3G with more memory (though the 4GB has been plenty for apps, music and movies).

As a former employee of Walmart (Electronics dept manager), I am a little concerned about Apple getting into bed with Wally. Most Walmart electronics are “W” coded. This means that the manufacturers have negotiated a different unit price for Walmart so the retail giant can have the lowest price and the highest gross profit. Sometimes, to do this, the manufacturer has to reduce his cost on building the product (i.e., cheaper components). It is not uncommon to be told by a company’s customer service department that the product you purchased from Walmart is not supported and that you’ll need to take it back to the store. Beware the “W” in the serial/model number.

And they won’t sell it without you getting at least the $30/month data plan.

Well if walmart does sell the iphone, i think it’ll be a smart move on apple’s behalf. They would clearly sell more phones and Att will benifit also by getting new customers. Right?

What’s the problem with buying an iPhone at $99 from Walmart? Everywhere I turn someone has an iPhone, we all know soon there will be another phone that will be exclusive to people who can afford it. Then someone will sell it for cheaper and make a killing off of it. I don’t need an iPhone but hell if Wal-Mart starts selling it, I will definitly get one. iPhone junkies need to get over themselves.

The last to cabs I’ve gotten in had drivers with iPhones. You aren’t special. If you had a real job, you’d have a blackberry.

The Iphone is currently growing the fastest in households that the average salaries are 25,000 to 50,000 (for a household). This is exactly in line with the majority of Wal-Marts customers. If this rumor is true AT&T, Apple, and Wal-Mart will OWN the cellular world.

Great on the confirmation… I hope Wal-Mart forces Apple to deal with all the issues Itunes create when CD/DVD drives stop working for Vista users!
