Serious Question about the Iphone/Storm Pricing scenario
- Only if a second addition iPhone gets released. That is verizons way at making money. It doesnt actually determine the value of a device. Verizon would still be paying a certain amount to apple for every device no matter how much verizon decides to charge for it. The money is in the contracts they get you to sign. Verizons good at that kind of sht. The contracts they get us to sign are what gives the th emoney to buy more bulk of the device and charge less than full retail and the process starts over and over.

- Nope. They only discount reburbished iPhones and new ones are only discounted with a newer version is released. They don't need to lower the price because people will buy them regardless. Don't need buy 1 get 1 free.09-16-09 01:10 PMLike 0

- No offense, but this is kind of a pointless thread. The iPhone will not even be thought of as "Available for Verizon" until 2011. AT&T is currently working out a contract that may even make it impossible for Verizon to touch an iPhone until 2012. Apple is however, working with Verizon on their new Tablet...but due to contracts...no iPhone for verizon for the next 2 years (at the very least). That's why I bought a Blackberry (Storm). And after spending a week tweeking the thing, getting rid of apps, downloading good apps...I now love it..and probably would not buy an iPhone anyhow. It's only advantage is speed and crappy apps. (The games are sweet though!!!!)09-16-09 01:25 PMLike 0

Especially when it's on a network that's got a better overall coverage, is more reliable, and will most likely have MMS and tethering good-to-go right off the bat.09-16-09 01:39 PMLike 0 - A few weeks ago I was so hoping the iPhone would come to Verizon. I was checking the internet almost daily hoping to see a glimmer of a chance.
Now, that I finally got a Storm, I could care less. I have nothing against the iPhone, just that I feel the Storm is a better device.09-16-09 01:42 PMLike 0
