Not true! You should buy something whenever you're ready, understanding that it will be obsolete or be cheaper at some point in the future. Just not 2 months later! ;-) Seriously, you paid $200 for the privilege of using it 2 months before anyone else. That's pretty expensive IMO. But no big deal, you are getting $100 back (well, credit anyway, which you were eventually going to spend on Apple again anyway, so that's just as good), and you're enjoying the product, which is most important. My only point is that Apple should have thought that through a little more; it wasn't a particularly good faith move, which is surprising for a company that normally exhibits an extraordinary amount of good faith. “Using your logic…” Not true!

B) The iPhone is tremendous. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. There's always going to be something better. Using your logic, no-one should ever buy anything. :) A) Apple’s going to give early adopters $100 store credit.
