I was looking into the Unlimited plan... Wow!! That is a ridculous amount of money. It seems every plan fot the iPhone is ridculously overpriced. Does Apple have no idea how mych more customers it would have if AT7T wan't such a price gouger?

you people are stupid, its inflation, it happens. "For those who have owned an iPhone from the start, the move (to 3G will smart)<-?) because we never knew how good we had it.

CoopD, I believe you are an idiot. Explain to me how inflation can make the cost of text messages sky rocket. Explain to me why inflation justifies 20 cents for each 160 characters you send someone. It does not cost AT&T 20 cents for the network usage when you send a text, so it can't be that their charging for the data flow.
The people are not STUPID. You just think they are because they realize that they're getting ripped off and want to say something about it.

It's not Inflation. - It's apple. Every apple product has a high price. And AT&T (Being the 50+ Years in market) was the highest bidder. Of course Apple is getting their share.
As long as Consumers like us, want the latest apple products the price will always skyrocket. Look at the Apple AirMac. Who's going to pay $3,000+ for the instant start Laptops? Apparently you are, and your 2 year creditcard bill..
I want an iPhone..., but on a student salary (CA state- laid off salaray at that! Thx Arnold..) Guess i'll have to wait till graduation..
