why they have this price difference?

How much is the contract for the iPhone 3G?

Voice plans start at $39.99, with iPhone data plans starting at $30. The lowest plan is $69.99. In contrast, first generation iPhone plans were $59.99

why is it more expensive?

ATT spent alot to get their 3g coverage up and running, they need to charge more to recoup their expense.

perhaps the extra 10 bucks is the 3g price difference

iCafe is correct. AT&T has stated that the new 3G iPhone Data Plan is going to be $30 a month, $10 more than the comparable EDGE Package.

What is 10 dollars times 24 months? What was the price of the iphone before? Getting a clearer picture?

Those prices arent that bad. Itll be cheaper than what I pay currently for my BlackBerry.

Youre getting 3g internet for 10 bucks extra, they still have costs associated with keeping the network running, expanding it and making it faster.

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

Hmm, Treo 750 3G, Blackjack 2 3G, they pass the cost to iphone owners only? No way. No other internet will go up that much.
