Thats what you get when you get the slickest new phone, I dont see people lining up waiting for a treo or blackjack, I dont see people drooling watching conference calls to see when it will go on sale.

Consider it a tax for being on the cutting edge.

Im not getting the new one, Im pointing out that people are bashing a corporation for not giving you things for free and making you pay for a service you use.

Imagine a company wanting to make money off of the phone with the most hype.

The audacity!

why is it more expensive?

They know with faster internet, more people will be using it on the at&t network. ONly makes sense. iPhone users use the internet more than any other device, and now with a faster network, they'll use it even more.

Its almost as fast as wifi, how much do you pay for cable internet? Im guessing its less then what ATT is charging you.

If someone figures out how to hack the phone to allow tethering then I will cancel my cable internet

"2.8 times faster" than EDGE is hardly wifi, unless you have your 56k connection broadcasting in your house. I suggest you hold on to that cable subscription.

Its supposed to be 1.5 mpbs downloading I can live with that since Comcast isnt running half the time anyway.

I will probably keep it anyway but its a nice backup when comcast is giving me problems.

The AT&T conference call today had Dela Vega on there explaining how an independant 3rd party measured up and down speeds on the new iPhone and it beat both Verizon and Sprint, so you can throw those data cards out when tethering is made available by the hackers.
