And so it begins: iPhone 3G now available at Wal-Mart

Yah I’m with johnny on that one, the iphones about as exclusive as a honda civic.

exactly!

I am better than MOST people, but it’s not because of my iphone

Mall-Wart blows. They’ve built a successful business off the backs of their workers and their suppliers (whom they squeeze).

They “pass the savings” on to you, sure. You might save .10 on peanut butter, but you pay more taxes because of them. They’re funneling their workers onto state/government aid (welfare, Medicaid) rather than offering benefits they can clearly afford to pay (5 Mall-Wart heirs among the top-10 richest people in America). They move into towns and demand to pay no property tax for 5 years (or however long). If the city doesn’t take the deal, Mall-Wart doesn’t come. Who picks up the tab for them not paying their share? Other businesses.

I don’t shop there, but to each their own.

Good, all we need are even more tard clogging up geniusbar because they can’t turn their volume up .

Ahh.

Blahblahblah.

That was funny.

Hi,
It is stunning how low we have desended as a nation. I am black, live in Oklahoma, and I shop at walmart, hence, I guess I am a Black Redneck.

I agree with the poster who said that a minimum wage job is better than no job. Walmart is not asking for billions of MY tax dollars because of stupid buisness mistakes and greedy unions.

Do any of you actually know any walmart employees? Have you ever desended low enough to talk to one? I make over 60,000 per year(for you elitest, that is good money in Oklahoma). I shop walmart because I am not stupid. They simply invented a better mouse trap.

Why do we hate those who achieve instead of trying to invent the next better mouse trap?

IT IS OK TO STRIVE AND ACHIEVE GREATNESS.

Wow, $2 dollars cheaper….. Almost enough left over to buy some smokes or dip….

Status symbols varry amongst different groups. What isn’t a status symbol to you might be a status symbol to someone else. It is all relative.

.. For example, some people here think that not shopping at Wal-Mart is a status symbol, and others do not.

So yeah, the selling of the iPhone at Wal-Mart makes the phone less of a symbol for some people. Yeah, boo hoo, it’s sad. People are shallow.

Also, last time I checked, no one is forcing anyone to work at Wal-Mart…

Descend. Elitist.

At what cost is it “ok to strive and achieve greatness”? Does it matter how many people you step on or take advantage of in the process? Or does the end justify the means regardless?

You make your decisions with your wallet. For the company Walmart is and HOW it has achieved its current success, I choose to shop elsewhere, and I just so happen to live in a place that still has competition. Sorry about Oklahoma.

To shop there JUST because you’re saving that $2 on your iPhone or that $.11 on a new CD and completely ignore HOW they were able to bring you those savings is insufferably selfish and part of the reason our economy is suffering as bad as it is.

Good post, jonny.

I prefer SuperTarget (not leaps & bounds better than the alternative, but better nonetheless) & Costco. Especially the latter.

Great Point!”Also, last time I checked, no one is forcing anyone to work at Wal-Mart…”

jonnybruha, maybe price is not a concern for you, but there are many people who are thankful for thr service walmart provides. BTW, Iperceive that youn live in the “Peoples Republic of California”. I think it is great that you are willing to pay obscene taxes and inflated prices. HAVE YOU CHECKED THE POPULATION SHIFT FROM YOUR AREA TO PLACES LIKE OKLAHOMA, AND THE HOME OF WALMART,ARKANSAS?

Sorry, chief, I’m stuck in Georgia with low taxes, cheap property, and more rednecks, blacks, and black rednecks than you could shake a stick at. I also don’t make a lot of money, so if anything, I SHOULD be shopping at Walmart, but I don’t for the reasons stated earlier.

Wow!! Those things look tiny from the photo perspective.

WalMart = FAIL

I will tell you all what is good about Wal-Mart, their sales associates don’t know anything about what they are selling, usually that is a very bad thing. Today though when I went in to replace my phone I lost over the weekend, it turned out to be a very good thing. Since I am not eligible for an upgrade until this time in 2009, the price for an iphone was going to run me over $650. But since the Wal-Mart sales associate thought the price listed was the price no matter if you are eligible for an upgrade, I was able to get the phone for the $297 price as if I was a new customer or eligible for an upgrade. Thanks Wal-Mart.

In a weird way, I welcome this…

cry me a river who cares that walmart sells iphone now for 2$ cheaper, im sure you all cried like bitches when 3g came out and bestbuy started selling it too, a phone is a phone but i like that theres endless apps and the apps via jailbreak that it offers, more than any other smartphone ive ever had or seen. this phone is probably the best peice of technology since your mothers 3speed vibrator
