Get over YOURSELF.  You're going to tell OTHER people how to "feel" about the "buyers remorse" they have about THEIR purchase.  It's none of your business, unless you work for Apple.  Speaking of business, Apple's customer are some of the most loyal of any company.  Know any enthusiasts of Motorola?  Samsung?  If Apple's early-adopters are unhappy about Apple's pricing policies, Apple needs to pay attention.  The rest of you probably ought to move on to something else.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 29th 2008 7:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have no sympathy, since the whole reason that the price was so high to begin with was because they knew that the "must-haves" would pay through the nose for it.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harmy G]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 1:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[i actually do feel bad for the early adopters, because the price drop is a smack in the face, but i'm amazed they didn't see this coming. anyone who's a fan of apple products and has invested major $$$ in them in the past knows that apple cares very little for early adopters - their products debut at outrageous prices which they drop dramatically in a year, they don't develop additional software for existing products so that you have to buy entirely new ones in order to enjoy new options, and complaining won't change their behavior. i want an iphone badly, but i've been burned so many times by apple, i know to wait a year or two for the dust to settle. few companies on the planet take their customers - particularly their most hardcore fanbase - for granted the way that apple does.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dw]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 1:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[US MEXICANS WAIT TILL THE PRICE DROPS B4 WE BUY N E THING.

Think about the people who work at Apple or even AT&T, the only cell carrier that supports the iPhone...me. Getting calls everyday from people who THINK they are getting screwed. OMG... things change!! I can't believe it. "I should have to pay the same price for phone service that i paid a year  ago". Now..."I demand you to give me a credit for the difference of the phone". You poor idiots that bought the iPhone the day it came out, sorry boutya. Now you poor idiots that bought that phone less than 14 days ago, go to the apple retail store or att store you bought the phone from and get your refund. and most of all quit whining to us. It wasn't our decision.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[anonymous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 2:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[Still people shouldn't purchase an i-phone because of AT&T which offers lousy service, and misleading sales pitch other than the merger with Cingular that happens to have the worst reputation, and offering the worst wireless service ever. You have to read consumer's report to believe it in order to find out more about Cingular and its misleading hype about dropped calls. Cingular, along with AT&T has more dropped calls than any other wireless providers so their sales tactics are generally misleading. Other thing about i phone service and functions you need to know, while may look attractive, it is still prone to defects and other problems which may end up costing you more to replace.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[anibethc40]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 2:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thats what happens to people who can't wait and must have it that minute.

Of course I understand your frustration, but I don't see why you "JUST HAD" to have an iPhone once it came out... actually I can see why. Once they told you that you needed one you ran out and got one. I want an iPhone too, but seeing as I've gone 27 years without one I can wait til they inevitably drop the price and work out the kinks. you fools got duped. <br>Once again I don't mean to direct this at all of the early buyers just the ones who now say they are gonna sell their apple products and never buy anything from them again... yeah right, wait till they come up with an iDildo you'll be first in line to shove it right up your iAsshole.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Max.dB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 2:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iPhone Price Drop Turns Early Adopters Into Crybabies]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/09/06/iphone-price-drop-turns-early-adopters-into-cry-babies/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was a late early adopter.
