I was planning to buy it at the current prices; this just makes it more attractive (but harder to get, of course). I don't even care that I have to pay Verizon $175 for an early termination fee. They (Verizon) sent me a survey earlier this week. One of the questions they asked was "what would make your more likely to renew your Verizon contract?" My answer: iPhone.

On top you have a higher web use thanks to its Safari browser. So the business case of a $200 handset subsidy could actually fly. The risk of an end-price reduction is that it might appeal not only to high-income users, but to budget-constrained customers, that will not generate such a high ARPU. http://tech-talk.biz/2008/04/30/why-should-att-sell-iphone-at-199/ AT&T must have found out that ARPU for iPhone is much higher than average. iPhone appeals to the highest-income segment.

With Sprint releasing the Samsung Instinct next month for a rumored under $300 and LG and the others in the hunt, this makes it a great time for the rest of us. I've always liked the iPhone but hated the price and the 2.5 g network that I had to connect it to, this gives me even more choices.
