So before the iPhone, I had a shared plan w/ my girlfriend w/ 1400 shared minutes w/ 1000 text messages on 1 line. Because my girlfriend is a nurse, we earned a 24% discount on our cell phone bill each month. Our bill was around $80-$90 or so each month. Life was good.

We fell into the iPhone craze and bought ourselves each an iPhone. This is when things started to go downhill. Not only did have to pay an extra $20 a month PER phone (which we already expected), we LOST OUR 24% DISCOUNT! What kinda horseslit is that?! On top of that, we were forced to renew our already expired two year contract. All this loyalty that I've shown Cingular for 5+ years, and this is the best they can do?!

So so far here are the cons I've experienced: lost our 24% discount, paying an extra $40 a month on top of that, 2 year BS contract, loss of my 1000 text messages for 4.99/mo.

In conclusion, buying an iPhone is like buying a Mercedes, sure you get the nice luxury of having a sweet phone, but it comes at a cost even AFTER your purchase...
