That is something I'm watching out for... I've read posts all over the net that there is a rumored s/w update that will include iChat for the iPhone.
I think everyone agrees that 200 sms messages a month without extra charges is lame.

I'm sure that it's only a matter of time till we have some sort of chat that will work, but I don't know if it will interact with sms. In other words, you will probably be able to chat with other computers or iPhones, but not cell users on sms.

Hopefully I'm wrong about that last part...

Just go to txtdrop.net
and text from there it's free
the only annoyance is that you need to know you receiver carrier name
you need to choose from the drop down menu

I don't know why people complain about this. For just $20 a month, you get unlimited internet and email among other things PLUS 200 text messages.

Do you realize that if you bought any other PDA/Smartphone, you'd be paying $40 a month for JUST unlimited Internet? I used to have a blackberry, and unlimited Internet and unlimited texting was well I over $60 a month!
