HAHA!!! You fairies will love this article:

Think that new $199 iPhone is going to save you money over the older $399 model? Guess again.

AT&T is raising its minimum monthly service subscription for the new iPhone from $60 to $70 per month, according to the Associated Press.
That's an extra $240 over the lifetime of the two-year contract ? more than the $200 initial savings on the handheld's retail price.

And all you "unlockers" probably won't be able to buy an iPhone directly from Apple isn't going to sell them online any more. It's not taking pre-orders on its Web site, as it has for every other device it unveils before they're ready to ship.

Instead, you're instructed to go to a brick-and-mortar Apple Store ? where dollars to doughnuts you'll be forced to sign your name on a two-year AT&T service contract, just as you would in an AT&T retail store

In a way, that $200 you save on the new iPhone is really a loan you'll be paying back to AT&T at 10 percent yearly interest.

This is not an increase. Its the standard (existing) rate for 3G service, and apparently the higher cost of 3G service is consistent throughout the telcoms

God forbid that ATT who is subsidizing the price of the iphone so you can have it for 50% or less than it is actually worth get a return on their investment. God forbid that ATT the company that agreed to work with apple to bring the iphone to market, and give them the freedom to make it such a groundbreaking phone, be rewarded for the risk they took. Why is it that everyone that reaps the rewards of capitalism starts whining when capitalism doesn't suit them. Apple & ATT built a better phone to get customers away from the competitors, not to help them. PS you can still get around this snafu if you want to unlock it its just going to cost you more than if you got the contract with Att.

Just like any other phone you might get anywhere else. DUH Oh yeah its called a service plan and you need it to or else all your holding is an expensive paperweight
Now that Apple has let outside developers design software for the phone it will be one of the most amazing breakthrough devices to come out in a long time. Some better chips and more memory and soon the iphone will be more capable than you laptop from 3 yrs ago.

Looks like they improved some things with the iphone, but still no "cut and Paste" capability? WTF
