If an unsubsidized 3GS costs 1000USD your local retailers are raping people in their asses.

You've got AT&T padding the cost so you're not really seeing how much your phone costs in reality. It just means it's easier for us to apple products for what they are. Overpriced and overhyped. How much do you think a 3GS is in Europe?
In comparison, a Nokia 5800MX is $280.00. A 1201N netbook is $630.00. A u230 is $460.00. Not too far from international prices. If the local retailers could lower the price down, they would have instead of having the same phone on display for the last year.

The new iPhone finally stopped being ugly. And by now it's actually something I can call a good device.
Still, even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy one.

True. I concur such devices have use, but not for me. I'd rather keep things separate and life simple. I don't need to pour my life into a technological device and feel I have achieved something of value when I note that my calendar is full; I have a million contacts; I check whatever website every 30 seconds because I'm a crazy no-life fucker with nothing better to do; I have an earphone stuck to my ear like a big white wart with a very thick line of growth sticking out of it coming out of my ear 20 hours per day; My hands in the same (except worse) position that I once had when playing with my GBC/GBLite.... personally my hands should only be that close for so long in a single day when I am stuck in handcuffs. etc.
I'm not talking just about the iphone, but the android and nokia and xperia and everything else applies too. I have yet to find a need to need a smartphone. (Minus the fact that the iPhone is a media player with phone capabilities, it still sort of fits)
