Hi
I am surprised to see all of you shocked with the price. This is exactly what was expected and by
the way iPhones features are revolutionary and the price is justified.
Respect the hard work that poeple have put in to develop this mind freaking device, because kind of great features and enhanced user interface it has, it justifies it cost.
