I am posting this because I haven't seen this point made anywhere and it frustrates me.
I gladly paid $399.00 for a 3g iPod, with black and white screen, no photos, no video. I still have no regrets spending $400 for my iPod, which has had one battery replacement..which I did myself. The original release price was $499, but I waited and got some deal which I forget now.
So if I, and many many other users, would happily pay $400 for a basic 40gb iPod, don't you think that 4 years later I am only to happy to put out $600 for an iPhone, with all the additional capabilities? People talk about the $600 like it is some crazy amount for a phone, but in my perspective, it is a bargain.
