A math genius, you are not. Try Google:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=240usd...in+usd%2Fmonth
(240 U.S. dollars) / (2 years) = 10 U.S. dollars / month

None of you guys use iPhones. Why is it even an issue?
I've got another year on my plan at the old price. No worries for me.

They could have offered a plan that only uses the EDGE network, but I
expect that AT&T doesn't want to be adding more users to EDGE because
they want to shut it down soon.
Carriers always tout the low cost of subsidized equipment while not
talking about monthly charges. For Comcast, I wonder who signs up for
service based on a low monthly rate for the first three months.
To me, the attraction of the iPhone 2 is the GPS. Hopefully unlocked
versions of the iPhone will appear shortly after its introduction.

FYI, GPS will also work on the "old" iPhones via the 2.0 update.

Shut down EDGE? When?
BTW TOMTOM has had a press release that they have converted their
TOMTOM software from their GPS to run on the iPhone along with Google
maps.

How is that possible? There is no GPS receiver in the old iPhone. You
can get a rough idea of your location by triangulating from cell
towers--when you're in an area with cell towers. Unless they let you use
an external Bluetooth GPS receiver (someone is selling a system like
this but it's pretty hokey).
3G, improved battery life, and GPS are the reasons to upgrade to the new
iPhone.
What isn't clear is what software application comes with iPhone 2.0 to
get the GPS functionality. Tom-Tom is planning to sell an application
for the iPhone which implies that what comes with it is pretty basic.

What are you going to do with the GPS, Steve? It only has one rather poor
map program. Is something else available for it?

Plus there txt message plan which is not inc like the old one was. So you
can add another 120.00 to that. 5.00 X 24 Months. Which makes it now $360.00
for the two year contract.
So in short, The 2.0 iPhone that has lower cost to buy ends up costing more
then the 1.0 buying it at the 399.99 price.
Steve Jobs may think he is sly by saying the reason the people wanted to
make the switch did not for the reason of the high cost of the iPhone 1.0
cost.
Let's break it down to see the actual cost.
iPhone 1.0 cost 8GB 399.00
2 years of data plan 240.00
Above cost inc's 200 SMS
Total cost for two years inc iPhone = $639.00
iPhone 2.0 cost 8GB 199.00
2 years of data plan 720.00
200 SMS Plan 120.00 Inc in the 1.0 iPhone plan which is not inc
in the 2.0 plan
Total cost for two years inc the iPhone = $1039.00
Looks like it's going to cost $400.00 more for the 2 years.
So when Steve Jobs said why people that wanted to buy the iPhone but did
not, there reason was the cost. So we are going to lower the price to 199.00
We won't tell you it will cost you 400.00 more.
Way to go Apple.
