I tried to order the 16gb 3GS for the sale price of 49.00, but lucky me, the order was canceled because they “could not verify some information”. They gave me a number to call, of course the same information went through with the sales rep but she couldnt hold up the discounts that I ordered initially so I said no thanks

These prices aren’t even what I would call an “incentive”. I am a Dell Windows XP user and I am eager to become an Apple user, but when I see a greedy company like Apple make fun of me and wave a rotten carrot in front of me like $101 off a multi-thousand dollar machine, it almost makes me ill. Best Buy is selling $200 HP laptops today. Where’s Apple?

Apple can keep their $101 “sale price”. I don’t need it. It’s an insult – pure and simple. Thanks for nothing, Steve Jobs!

Even so, they often beat Apple and the other resellers. Here’s a good side by side comparison

Maybe they don’t give the stuff away, but it just works the way I want it to.
