I find this hard to believe. Apple products are many things, but they are not cheap. I don't
expect them to reduce the exclusivity of the iPhone (and potential profits) by axing the price.

apple only stands to gain profits by att subsidizing their price. Apple still gets paid whatever
they got paid before. ATT pays for the difference and makes it up on service. It is the way all
cell companies run in the US. You get a cheaper phone that way, but slightly more expencive
service, instead of paying full retail for a phone. Who wants to pay full retail? The crappy
samsung u340 is like 150 full retail, or free on an upgrade. which would you prefer? $200
something iphone or voyager, or $500/600?? the phone companies dont lose any money on
discounting, because its discounted through the service provider.

if this were the case i would gladly buy one. thats an excelent price for a great phone. 199 is
about what the average consumer is willing to spend on a decent phone. when you start getting into
the 300.00 range people are more reluctant to switch there service. this would be compensated
directly by att

Expensive compared to who? The iPhone data plan is $20 per month with 200 text. As for now, it's
not that great compared to T-Mobile, but then again T-Mobile isn't the greatest service out there
and are loosing lots of customers to both AT&T and Verizon. Once it goes 3G, then it would be
retarded to use a non-3G carrier with a 3G capable phone.
