To everyone that will get the chance to buy an iphone at Walmart: good for you.
To everyone that doesn't care, whether they use an iphone or not: You wanna grab a beer?

You aren't cool or part of the elite because you own a phone that anyone with $200 to their name can buy. If you wanted a status symbol, you should have bought a vertu.

You'd have a point, except the iPhone costs $199, NOT $200.
If you've never paid $199 for a phone before, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. [sigh]

But then again, I've never purchased a phone for $199, so I probably have no idea what you're talking about. ;c)

Pffttt.. chump change. Call me when you're paying $500 for a phone and we'll talk...

On second thought, maybe I don't want to know...

Iphone is a status symbol, not just a phone! Apple has gone commie!

Anyone who has an iPhone (or any piece of technology) should only have it because they like what it does, not because they want it to influence how others perceive them.
Frankly, knowing that iPhones are sold in Wall-Marts makes me that much more comfortable the next time I take out my iPhone in Buckingham Palace and start playing Koi when the Queen starts blathering on about her garden or china collection or whatnot.

The iPhone may have been a status symbol, but that value was diluted a long time ago. Stop whining about the great unwashed masses having iPhones. It's untimely, elitist, and naive.
To help bring you up to speed, here's some more reading material:

There's a problem with that logic. You are still following the crowd, only you're doing the opposite.
I suspect that this is your reasoning because, as CokeInABottle points out, you aren't buying a BlackBerry or PALM, both of whom make comparable products and are also relatively popular.

c) You get the point hopefully.
Besides, like stereotypes, there is a hint of truth to every joke.

Apple apparently taking the Monty Burns approach and guaranteeing a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant.
Enjoy.
