That's not to say that the price is usury or anything. In addition to build quality and craftsmanship (I hope) you're paying for style, form, and, as I said just above, the value-add of Apple Stores and the like.

Well, again....it is dependent on your requirements as I said. The dual processor, speed, the responsiveness, the upgradeability to 4G etc.

There's no "upgrade" to 3G. It's already there. It does take an upgrade to get to 4G and I don't know what that might cost. Don't know that it's been announced.
