Damn.

Buy.com currently has a never-been-locked 3Gs 32gb Iphone for two cents under a $1000.
That seems like a lot of money for a phone.
For $1000 you could buy a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook.
For $1000 you could buy a Golden Opulence Sundae.
For $1000 you could buy a 1998 Kia Sportage
You might even be able to buy a house in Cleveland.
