Is the iPhone Worth $500?
PiperJaffray surveyed 500 high school students from 11 different schools and found that--surprise--kids love Apple products. 82% of high schoolers that own a personal media player own an iPod and 25% of the kids were willing to throw down the $500 required to own the iPhone.
We're not going to ask silly questions like "Where is a 16 year old going to get the $500?" Instead, we want to know, will you be willing to cough up the cash for Apple's newest drool-inducing, music-playing, call-making toy?

Silly question?? You SHMUCK!! That's a legitimate question. You'll take the poor child's opinion and his money, and care less how they attain the means

I understand what you meant by asking a silly question to teenagers. Parents are the ones who will buy this phone for some child. I just can't believe children are given toys, gadgets that cost more than 5 years worth of Christmas/birthday gifts I received growing up. That said, it is a lot of money for a phone/ipod/text/email thingamajig.

Personally, im paying for my own iphone, not my parents and im assuming thats the case with most teenagers. I dont think that kids are as spoiled as most adults assume them to be. They just get better paying jobs than you had when you were 16, and they save up for what they want. So i see nothing wrong with teens getting these "toys". And dont generalize, its wrong.

This is funny how people think that $500.00 dollars is expensive for a phone. The Razoe when it first came out was 500 bucks and most "smartphones" cost at least 500 dollars when they are NOT subsidized. This phone is in a great price range for the category it will compete in. And for those of you who have been saving up 500 dollars don't worry when it is released you will not pay the full 499 or 599. It is obvious that cigular will offer it at a discount. The downfall of the iPhone will be Cingular not Apple.

iphone is worth it. You are getting an ipod music/video player plus a smartphone. If you bought these separately they would be at least $500. There is nothing out there like it.

I agree with pflinn. If you don't already own a digital camera ($150-250) - cell phone ($50-$300) -ipod ($100-300) then the iphone is worth having. Otherwise it's still a cool all in one device if you've got the EXTRA cash to buy one.
