Fashionably Late Adopter
Just picked up a 4GB iPhone for $299. Ha! Apparently there are some cranky early adopters out there. 
From a post over on Dave Farber's list
"Nobody forced anyone to buy an iPhone. The hype was immense, and only a little of the hype actually came from Apple. The buyers weren't buying a phone, they were buying status and the envy of others. Every buyer got the opportunity to show off their new toy, brag. The iPhone provided a high quality narcissistic supply. Now that the price has been sullied and the status is gone you can hear the sound of egos deflating as that brief bubble of exclusivity popped. The dealer cut the price of their junk."
