3G iPhone prices announced
Finally, a piece of news we can actually do something with. AT&T today announced its pricing structure for the next iteration of Apple's iPhone -- which you can plunk down money for come 8 am, July 11th. There's not much that's surprising here -- new customers and those eligible for an upgrade will be able to nab the phone for $199 (8GB) or $299 (16GB), while "early upgraders" will have to fork over $399 or $499, all with a two year contract and $18 upgrade fee, of course. The telco says a no-commitment version of the phone will be available for $599 and $699, though it looks like that will come after the initial launch. AT&T appears to be leaning pretty heavily towards the all-in unlimited plans, but there are options if you don't want to go that route. We've sorted out the basics after the break, and included AT&T's "iReady" video -- certainly good for a few chuckles.
The $199 8GB version seems decent, but 3G plans cost more, right?
Even with the most basic AT&T phone plan, with the current iPhone, the monthly bill is close to $70 after taxes.

some data plans were already $30 per month. i know the pda data plan was, like for the Tilt. i dont know why people are complaining.
Yeah, I read an article last week showing that AT&T is subsidizing the cost of the phone, but is making it all back over the course of the 2 year period. I believe AT&T gets an extra $40-$50 over the course of that initial purchase and contract period.

it has plan pricing on it
ATT is pushing people towards the unlimited data plans, which makes sense. the lowest plan is 69.99 and that has 450 minutes and 5000 night and weekend minutes
then its 20 more for unlimited texting. so the most basic plan with texting is 90 bucks ... and i dont know about you guys but in a month i use up 450 minutes
