I think everyone is just being realistic.
AT&T's "iPhone plans" are more reasonable than similar service from Verizon and other carriers - Verizon's data plan alone is >$20 more than the iPhone plan.
As long as Apple maintains an exclusive agreement with AT&T, they'll have no incentive to reduce the price of the iPhone or subsidize it in any way. And once they begin to sell through other carriers, there will likely be a new iPhone that everyone will go nuts over, and that they'll charge full price for.
