I also believe the rates are reasonable. But if a different company comes out with a new phone of this caliber, there could be price wars. Unlikely though.
Good to know. I've had Sprint that my mom was paying for, but now that it is over I look to get the iPhone, so I really didn't know what the average plan rate was, so thanks for the info.
Somewhere down the road you'll probably see reduced price for the iphone itself for signing up for the 2 year contract, but that probably won't be for another 5 years when every wireless provider is carrying the iphone. Could be sooner though if iphone sales aren't where apple and att expect them to be--which is very possible.
