Did anyone see what Apple just did??
Apple just lowered the price of the Iphone by $200 US Dollars. For those that already bought a phone- well they are just out of luck.
After a big uprise and complaints against Apple, they have decided to give those that have already bought an Iphone a $100 US dollar gift certificate to use for Apple only (and they are making it difficult to get the gift certificate, have to have lots of documents to get it!!)
Now, my question is, did they lower it because people just aren't that impressed with them and the sales have dropped drastically??
How would you feel if you bought one and then found out a day later they are $200 dollars cheaper?
They dropped the price of the phones because of the upcoming holidays. They hope to increase sales for Christmas. However, I am with you Scarlett and Jauntie, I just need to be able to answer it and hang it up basically. Maybe, send a text message once in a while (won't tell you how long it took to learn how to do that).
Have a nice evening everyone in Doha.

as of today, is there anyone here know where can i get an iphone here qatar? i really into tweaking gadgets and i lovbe to try this. pls send me reply. tnx
I never agree with any of your cooment above.Apple has droped the price becuase they are coming with a new version and they want to compete with other mobile companys like nokia,motorola and sony..
Here people are comparing Apples massive product with third class imate and nokia..guys what you guy know about apple?whats is there in Nokia and Imate phone incfact i been using these 2branded phone before am getting iphone.Nokia got same Operating system from the lower model to higher model,they are not in to touch screen yet,small screen browsing internet is worthless,the only think i felt good is good camera.iphone only got 2MP camera becuase these phones were designed early 2006 thats time nokia was in VGA camera technology.camera is not that important in a mobile
Imate is a complete wortheless product for the price,hard touchscreen(you need a big stick to oprate it),very difficult to type,very very bad camera quality,operating system is not at all a userfreindsly,very heavy and difficult carry...so many drawback....
I have only one comment.those who talk bad about iphone....please give it a try...am sure you ill love it....as i loved...
Something about iphone,Excellent sleek and slim design,easy to carry,worlds number 1 Mac OS,Very smooth touch scree,3.5" High resoulution scree,Worlds number 1 Music and Video player.Fast and big scree internet,Notepad,PDF reader,text editor,E-mail,2MP Camera...altogather an awsome peace of art....
Thanks
i didn't know that jasskat is that much upset of me!:D
i'm cool here scarlett:) Good evening to you and all!
The Iphone's downfall will be its' bluetooth limitations.
tra la la
Its the N -95 which has taken off well visavis the Iphone....
LOL :P I would have put one of those little copyright symbols next apple if I had known how so no one mistook it for QL's Apple!
I always like to get the newest phones, cause I think they are fun, but then i only end up using them for SMS and phone calls :D
tra la la
me too. I even have an ancient MP3 but it WORKS - mind you, I managed to record all the activity at a swimming pool the other day cos I pushed the wrong buttons. sigh
Dont you think of iphone then leave it coz am sure with ur nails u will get the screen busted

you were talking about OUR apple from QL...Was wondering..geesz what did she do that was enough to make Jass post about her! LOL Sorry for my thoughts apple!!!
Oh the phone issue..I'm sticking to my tried and true standby...basic phone..not electronically minded and when the photo option came out..resisted that one for the longest cause I KNEW I'd end up taking a pic of the inside of my handbag! As it is..I have several photos of who knows what on my phone...thumbs, half people...etc..Give me a phone that has internet access and I'll be communicating with folks in outer Mongolia by mistake..
I'm not sure what price to sell them at.
In Bahrain, the Apple store sells them for 4500QR so I'll probably end up selling them to the place where I can get the most.
__________________________
ok ur also selling it rite,....so how much r u selling the unlocked ones?
Apple is only officially released in the US.
The Euro version comes out next month.
The rest of the world gets it in January.
So if you want an iPhone in Qatar you'll have to find somewhere that imports it
__________________________
where is apple phone available in qatar plz lemme know
As soon as the price dropped, I bought 10. I'm unlocking them all and reselling them. Profit WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
They dropped it by 200 dollars (100 pounds or 730 QR) because they want enough people do buy it so that they're tied to iTunes.
Perhaps they want enough people to buy it because the 3G version is coming out in a month?
Perhaps they are scared of the Nokia version of the iPhone and the fact that both LG and Samsung are releasing their own.
Nokia's version will be amazing because of the 5mp, satnav, wifi, bluetooth, and so many more features that the iPhone wont have.
At the end of the day, they want to secure a large base.
I bought 3 originally two days before the price drop. Took them back and got 600 dollars back :)

I usually always wait for the second version to come out of whatever new electronic is out. The second version is usually better with the kinks worked out, and now, I guess it will be cheaper too!
tra la la
now that it has happened welcome to the new world. ha ha ha
But this type of thing doesn't happen often in the US- especially with Apple!
tra la la
This is what happens in the mobile phone world Jass.
Take any mobile phone manufacturer, the same thing happens.
Nokia releases its high-end phones for around 3500-400 QR and within
a month it comes down to 2500-3000.
So nothing surpising about Apple reducing the prices.
The early birds who buy the phones always end up suffering a huge loss.
Everyone thought the iPhone is going to be a flawless success, but apple messed up, especially with the screens thingy...... they should've produced the screens at one place only......Personally i'm sticking to imate, am never gonna even consider an iPhone after all the problems it caused, and especially after making customers just over a month ago pay $200 more...

climbing the walls-coz i miss you
I guess its the effect of Apple learning to do business in the mobile market. Its not like IPOD market where they were the 1st ones. In this segment there are bigger sharks than them.
Check out the new IPOD touch its LOVELY
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....
Keep Going.....
i guess they take the "apple a day keeps doc away" quite seriously lol do it right - the first time!
