No threads on the new iphone?

[Dusty Bottoms]

half the price, almost 3 times the speed, GPS capabilities while being a little sleeker...

glad i waited, if i had paid 600 bones for the first gen id be kicking myself right now.

if it wasn't on at&t i'd be looking into buying my second one already. but with the reduced prices and increased speed and capabilities i'll consider finally making the jump.

My understanding is that the rate for the monthly plans are going up though. Is that true? If so, by how much?

Not that I'll be purchasing an iPhone anytime soon...but I'm just curious!

It might be $70/mo (voice+data), according to some websites. I currently get a 20% corporate discount with at&t - I'll wait and see what they come out with for plans.

I can't wait until November when my Sprint contract is up. Then I'll be moving over to AT&T...no data plan for me though, I live in a heavy WiFI area, so there's no need for data. I'm a little pissed that you have to activate in store though. I'd planned on buying one over the summer to play with, then activating it in November.

Was originally planning on waiting to see what new features the new phone would have. But I'm glad I got mine at the deal I was offered, even with new faster service and GPS it can't match it.

it's cus Canadiens is no longer here... he would have been all over that.

The phone itself is cheaper, but the monthly plan fee is going up so you'll actually pay more over the lifetime of the phone than you would with the original.

I'm waiting for the day that they have a 20-gig nano iphone.

AT&T to sell new iPhone without a two-year contract -- for $400 extra

AT&T offers new option of iPhone without contract: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

Without a contract, users can cancel service without incurring an early termination fee. But both contract and contract-free phones will be "locked" to work only on AT&T's network, and the monthly service plans available will be the same, said AT&T spokesman Michael Coe. The plans add a $30 monthly charge for data like e-mail and Web surfing on top of a calling plan.

As previously announced, the cheapest monthly calling plan for the iPhone will cost $70 per month, before taxes and fees that can add $10 per month. That plan includes 450 minutes of calls and unlimited e-mail and Web browsing.

MIght use my current plan + the iphone.

What is stupid is the cancelation fee isn't $400...

I love my 3g. Battery is the only thing that pisses me off . By tea-time I'm wondering whether it will really make it through the day without a drink. Bit like me really.

• Assisted GPS (A-GPS) navigation (on select models)
