I was watching the "live" feed on Verge and when the figure $99 came up for Phone 5C, in my mind was WOW! I would seriously consider getting one. Then they posted "on a 2 year contract of course". Okay, never mind. I did find it funny that for just the price of two+ iPhone cases, you can actually get a contract free Lumia 520.

I was like that thinking that cheap then read on contract, which is very naughty of some for not added contract to the title!

$500-$600 for a "budget" iPhone? Apple has no clue and clings to their hope of high profit margins.

If any other company released a "budget" phone for that price they would be burned at the stake already but no one is barely talking about that point.

I'm too very shocked how apple can get of way of certain big details such as a budget device which is almost the same price as the 5S!

I've read some articles on the usual big name tech sites and in many of the 5c articles they don't even bother to bring up the off contract price. They are trying so hard to hide it.

I was looking on a tech site that I go on and they were covering up by leaving it out of the article all together!!!

The 5C was the only thing I was just a bit interested in (for my daughter) namely because I had heard that it was supposed to be a budget device.

But this price is ridiculous, I could buy 4-5 Lumia 520 off contract for that.

Now back to work trying to convince her that she is actually much better off with a Lumia.

Hey, I just crafted two wallpapers (1280x768 and 1280x720 resolutions) based on Nokia's tweet. Show your support to Lumia and Windows Phone!

I can't believe this is what Apple is coming out with... it just floors me. For a company that was pushing innovation and some inventive products very early on, the best they can come out with are some cheap plastic covers to strap onto the existing iPhone 5 internals. Even the colors look drab and without life. Gold.. really like having an iPhone alone wasn't already screaming "I got more money than I need" but this just outright brags.

How about that awesome camera... thats almost nearly identical to last years but still boasts to being the most "popular" camera. Popularity is the only contest Apple can win now? Its disgraceful to Apple and their customers.

While I have in the past owned Apple products, today was yet another reminder why I made the right choice to switch back to MS products and software. I see the vision for Windows Phone / Windows 8 integration and I look forward to its unified implementation (though I wish development was a bit faster). Yet I've always enjoyed watching the Apple unveilings every year, something like Christmas for the tech world... even if you're not into Apple. Sadly this year, Santa disappointed.
