by turoa76 July 9, 2008 4:51 PM PDT: Sadly, due to the (worlds most expensive) plan pricing of iPhones in NZ people who buy these are now going to be ridiculed: "You're paying what? What a sucker/idiot/rich b*stard/sap/etc" rather than lauded. Owning an iPhone in NZ will now become a secret fetish. Shame.; Like this Reply to this comment

If product A is more expensive than product B does not mean people should always choose product B. Heck, some items even sell because they are expensive! (Who for instance really needs jewelry?); Like this Reply to this comment
