I know it's fun to see how something works, but come on this is extreme! The new iPhone is out, and apparently there are quite a few people who dished out $500 to $600 just so that they could take it apart and see what's inside. Some even went as far as to take a hammer to the iPhone and post it on YouTube. You've got to be kidding me! They won't be able to put that back together. And even those who opted to take their iPhone apart more gently, those things strike me as fragile, so good luck getting it to work again.
Curiosity is one thing, but HELLO expensive! Apparently some did it to see what supplier parts were used in the gadget, so they could buy stock in those companies. Even so, I don't know if they'd make their $$$ back unless they bought a whole lotta stock and it did indeed go up due to good old iPhone.
Wonder if you can return the iPhone if you can't get to work after you put it back together?
I must say though, even though it costs a pretty penny, it sure does do a lot of things for such a small device (phone, camera, multimedia player, touch screen, internet browser all in one). Maybe if they arrive in Canada and if they come down in price to say..$150...I'd check one out! :)
In the meantime, anyone else out there that feels like throwing away their $500 solely to "see how a phone works", why don't you take your money and donate it to a charity instead...come on people!

You think the upfront cost is high? Looking into the service charges is enough to make you weep!
