The 4GB iPhone 1 was $499, with contract. The 8GB iPhone 1 was $599, with contact. A few months after launch they lowered the price by $200 and gave store credit to the people that paid the higher price.

It was £99 iirc in the UK but you had to get it activated in-store for a seriously pricy contract. Until somebody worked out how to jailbreak it, at which point it was the bargain of the year.

I think that's when I bought it, which still felt like shortly after launch even though I wasn't in line on day one.

I only started paying more for iphones later (off contract, unlocked, from China, etc...).
