Yet has anyone priced out a service plan?" It's WAY more pricey than any other new PDA style phone. I work in a place full of Apple's target market. Guys who were drooling to get their hands on it the second it came out. Then details started rolling in about it. You can't customize it at all. It's going to cost $600. There isn't a discount for signing a 2-year-contract. You have to go with AT&T. They'd still have to carry around their iPods since even the high-end model only has an 8 gig hard drive. The people who were still interested were dropping like flies. 10 guys in my office alone who were PUMPED the day it was announced has been whittled down to a nice, solid zero. You may have to wait in line to get one, but that has more to do with AT&T's shit service than the volume of people still clamoring to get an iPhone. Something tells me you wont exactly need to camp out the night before. “Sure, the phone is pricey, but no more than any new phone, especially a PDA style one.
