y’know, that lil hand-held DIY looking video is cool and all, but why don’t they have a PRINTABLE CHECKLIST for people to print out and fill out before they get in the store?

i’m all fluent in the internets and stuff, but there ain’t no way you’re catching me in line on Day 1 at an AT&T store waiting behind a bunch of dipshots who don’t have their existing phone info with them.

if there’s one massive hole in this system it’s gonna be the forced in-store signup; AT&T’s shops better be fully stocked with phones and reps, and everyone going in should bring something to read or play with while you wait for activation.

if you do compare them to Sprint you’re paying $69.99 for 450 mins. unlimited Data/Visual Voicemail/Text/GPS/Radio/TV (combined) and this price will just get you 450 mins. and unlimited Data with AT&T. you’d have pony up an extra $20 for unlimited texting plus $9.99 to use the GPS. $99.98 – 69.99 = 29.99

You really think Apple charges At&t $700 for a 16GB iphone? $500.maybe.. at&t is just looking to rip off the people who don’t want to wear a straight jacket for 2 years.

This is def a “jump the shark” moment for wireless, congress will get on their ass about these contracts and fees and that will be it..hopefully.

That has to be the best comment ever about the iPhone. And I own one!!

I’ll probably wait until the iHysteria is over, before considering purchasing one.

Looks pretty good to me, I pay $95: $40 for 500 mins, plus $45 for unlimited data on by ATT Blackberry. Not sure what all the whining is about. iPhone is not the first smartphone out there, don’t get why no one wants to compare to other plans/phones??

So it’s basically $15 more per month for most plans, and most current iPhone users will not get the lowest price for the 3G phone.

I’d look for AAPL to drop today on this news.

Hmmm…so if I got my phone on the July 12th last year, will I get the upgrade pricing the day after launch? :-\

I might take a drive by local AT&T/Cingular/at&t store to see the iSheeple lined up and iReady for another iPhone and getting iRaped by excessively silly iPrices. iI for one and not iInterested. You can get a great laptop and broadband for those prices. And since we all have those things anyways, I personally don’t see the need to pay for them twice. But to each his own.

“The new software will include numerous enhancements… the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK), …”

The SDK is coming with the phone? Does this mean that it will be Windows compatible now? Eh? Maybees? Possibly?

Corporate e-mail and other business applications require the Enterprise Data Plan for iPhone, which is $45 a month

========

All iPhone customers will benefit from the iPhone 2.0 software, which will be pre-loaded on all iPhone 3Gs and available as a free download for current iPhone customers. The new software will include numerous enhancements, such as business-class e-mail access via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync;

So which is it?

With the rates AT&T intends to charge for this, you’ll be eating Spam & Pork n Beans if you have an iPhone. They should merge with Standard Oil and fly the Jolly Roger in front of their headquarters.
