lol

you made a mistake in your post here:
http://forum.iphoneworld.ca/iphone-3...ids-83831.html

Before you start posting insulting remarks to this thread take a deep breath and check out some of the iPhone forums out there and LEARN that there is a better way.

should be Android

Is it because the iPhone JUST WORKS? Dunno, just asking

BTW check their apps section, it does have traffic

Sometimes worthless, but always expensive.

how many people are registered at iphoneworld, looking at the 3GS forum it seems to be a sum total of twelve threads, half of which have no more than one or two replies.

admit it, iphoneworld is occupied by you and your mate.......

Is this thread still alive? Has no one noticed none of the materials costs cover copyright, royalties, licensing, or distribution? If you expect retail prices to closely match the materials costs, you ignore the manufacturing, R&D, marketing, logistics, and warranty departments. All of those divisions are manned by people, humans earning a living. How much are those paychecks supposed to be? How do you pay for the three years of development research that went into the N900, iPhone, or other high end devices with a lower profit margin, and from a device that will be lucky to sell 1,000,000 individual units?

Case in point is a restaurant. Does the "Fall Off The Bone Rib Dinner" really cost $18.95? Or are there other costs to recover besides the ingredients?

I only have ont thing to say about this thread: rofl

would love to hear the next theory !

i dont know about you but i work in the electronics industry and to create the pcb and bga's and have them placed is a very costly process, the rest of the smt is pretty cheap but the technology needed to produce this on a mass production level is in the range of milliions they have to rake back money some how for this device. processors are not cheap to build and as they are bought from another company and not built in house well what can i say? speaks for itself! a dsp bga can cost anythin up to £1000! this is just the pcb build nevermind the screen, case and software. the wages of all employees? tbh this ammount of tech for £500 is very competitive!
