All of you who purchased an iPod Touch and then bitched to no end when Apple dropped the price just a few months later, here’s a wake up call: your situation was nothing compared to those initial customers who purchased Nokia’s total flop of a failure, the N-Gage. You at least got a refund, and you at least got a more “plausable” window of original pricing. Consider the following: just TWO weeks after Nokia released it’s wannabe Gameboy phone product in 2003, the price dropped $100 in light of the awful sales. Oh, and by the way-there was NO COMPENSATION WHATSOEVER for those who purchased the plastic piece of s**t during those first two weeks. And yes, if you detect a bit of extra venom in this post, it’s a result of my being one of such early adopters (or in this case, down right premature) who got screwed over.
It annoys me, therefore, that Gamespot reports Nokia aims to re-establish their failure…
