I could order it online, it was delivered at my home and I could activate it on my own computer. No waiting in line for in store activation. I could purchase it as a renewal of my existing T-Mobile subscription for which I received a rebate on the price of the device. I paid 50 euros for my iPhone in combination with a € 30 two year monthly subscription fee which, I think, is absolutely reasonable. The device is beautiful. It works, it virtually does everything (except from shaving that is), even when it has flaws and teething problems that doesn't take away the new world it is opening. Yes, I am happy with my new iPhone. A week ago, after only 2,5 weeks of waiting, my 16 GB black iPhone arrived!

People waiting in line to buy underpriced products, that's how it used to be in Moscow and East Berlin. Who would expect a queue in San Francisco, California for a product that can just be purchased at the counter in Moscow, Russia, when you are willing to pay the price?
