and 1 year later reading the 2 above posters, I bet they BOTH have iphones, and I bet they BOTH think the data plan is reasonable at 29.99 a month.

so funny how crazy people act.

Relying on WiFi would be great if a data plan wasn’t REQUIRED, but as it stands you’re going to have to shell out the bucks whether you want a data plan or not. Way uncool.

This sucks.

What is the problem with revealing actual details on pricing/contracts now? It’s not a secret device anymore, and there are people like me who would actually base their buying decision on the kind of plans that are being offered with it.

Also, this is not like the Xbox360 or PS3 launch (or Wii for that matter), where it’s pretty clear what you are getting at the point you are lined up for purchase. I don’t want to stand in line at the AT&T store at 6pm and then hear that the data plan will cost me $99 per month.

What’s next? New cars will be announced but people won’t actually know what kind of engine or interior it has until they sign the check?

There is a line between creating unnecessary hype around a product and being plain ridiculous.
