These prices are insanely high. Even if you are eligible for the 199/299 prices, you are going to be paying unbelievable amounts per month. The old iPhone is/was $20/month for unlimited data and 200 texts, and this one is $35/month for the same thing. That's $360 difference over two years. At every price level, AT&T has raised the prices (for 1500 texts, you are paying an additional $5 than what it was before).... and thats just data and texts. Well, I found this one from the clash,Jobs unveiling the new iPhone. You can see it in <a href="http://clashorama.com/index.php?id=178" rel="nofollow">Steve Jobs & Apple's iPhone 3G</a>.</p> Wow.
