Almost make me want to get a 4GB model just to hack it. How hard is it to unlock it again?

Umm, you better read up some more... they cut the price on the 8gig model and plan to phase out the 4 gig model. The 4 gig model does not offer a price drop.

The 8-gigabyte iPhone will be $399 - $200 cheaper than the same model when it went on sale in June. The 4-gigabyte iPhone, which sold for $399, will be phased out.

However, 4GB doesn't appear on Apple's site. I guess you have to run down to the store?

Found it under the Clearance section.

The price you pay for being first

Does this suggest that the iPhone might not be selling as quickly as Apple had hoped?

CNET says the 4GB was lagging and that's why it was dumped.

Actually Mal, maybe YOU should read more. The 4GB model is $299 while supplies last. It is being phased out.

Don't really know what to make of todays announcements. Not the best way to build product loyalty by slashing prices so quickly. It leaves many people feeling angry that they payed an extra $200.
