I like how they are basically doing everything they can to make sure that they only sell the absolute minimum of phones they can.
Next week they will announce the only way to buy a 3G iPhone is to win a gladiatorial contest in an arena located at the center of an enormous labyrinth.
Hmm... so, they drop the price $200, but change the plan and remove texts.
So if you want the base data plan, plus the extra texts, thats $30 + $5 = $35 extra a month, compared to your regular cell phone service
And they tie you to a 2 year contract, so, $35 x 2y x 12mo = $840
And, let's say I go for the 8GB iPhone, so $199 + $840 = $1039
Therefore the net additional cost of me owning an iPhone compared to my basic whatever makes calls and sends texts phone I have right now, is an extra $1039 + tax.

That's a shit ton of money.
you're not taking into account whatever your current monthly phone bill is

Well, I said additional cost of owning an iPhone.
So right now I'm on a family plan and we pay $89.99 a month for 4 lines with AT&T. The phones were all free.
The cost above is just the cost of the data plan for 2 years + texts + iPhone.
So yeah.

But those are two different plans for two different reasons.
so, wait, the iphone doesn't support MMS but it still has regular texting, right?

Actually that's about par for data. I pay $19.99 a month for data right now but I know it's going to go up at least $10 when T-Mobile launches it's 3g network.

I think I would actually like not having MMS. Then friends and coworkers wouldn't send me pictures with a talking vagina or any other stupid shit.
this is exactly what I think too
whenever I get an MMS it's always from rankenphile and I know it's going to be tubgirl; now I can look at the message that says 'go here to view a picture message' and I say aha

You have an iphone but not a computer with built-in USB 2.0?

I... I don't know! So many questions!

Why can't it be July 11th right now?
Man. We have a SEVEN DOLLAR unlimited data plan.
It doesn't include downloaded applications, but that's what Wifi is for.
