Ok only unless I can’t read this says $399 not $299… In iPhone news, Jobs said Apple will discontinue one of the two models sold since late June. The remaining version, with 8 gigabytes of storage, will now sell for $399, or $200 less than before. ---

The New price is $399 for the 8 gig, and is now for sale by phone, not just in the store. Call 866-mobility to speak to a representative. ---
