New Service Plans for iPhone
From USA Today
There are other surprises in the works for June 29. In addition to launching the iPhone that day, Carter says AT&T also will announce new service plans for it.
He declined to be specific, but says plans will be customized for the iPhone. Translation: The iPhone may offer cool features such as unlimited Web browsing, but you'll have to pay for them.
Carter says the additional fees shouldn't be a surprise. "Regardless of which device you're using today, you pay us a certain amount for (voice) minutes, and you also pay us for data units," he says. "That is also true on the iPhone."
(Shawn's Comment: Oh oh. Does anyone else read the above as "We're going to charge iPhone users more for the data plan. After all, if they're dumb enough to spend $600 on a phone, they're not going to mind bending over a little more for the data plan..."?)

YES
Yes, that's exactly what I read as well! And because they haven't announced pricing for the plans really screams, get the Vasaline ready if you want to use the iPhone as advertised.
AT&T knows many people really want the iPhone and they know it's a perfect opportunity to make tons of money off them.
I understand AT&T is in business to make money, I just wish they wouldn't price gouge.
Oh well, looks like the iPhone will only be for the rich. Lame.
"looks like the iPhone will
"looks like the iPhone will only be for the rich"
LOL Not really but, to be fair, a *lot* of things are "only for the rich". Have you priced Ferraris lately? :)
