AT&T kindly requests that we all bend over.
The feeding fenzy is heating up friends...
iPhone rate plans are announced by Apple and AT&T.
It's just soooo tempting to substitute a "p" in the word "rate" but I've resisted, for you. Anyway, from what I can tell, you buy the iPhone, then you sync it to iTunes and use that program to sign up for AT&T. You'll use iTunes to set up everything through AT&T including how many minutes you'll want, and adding more text messages, if that's your thing.
At least this means we won't have to deal with any salivating cellphone rate plan salesmen
It theoretically also means that if you buy one and pry open the case, you could throw a T-Mobile (or any other carrier) SIM card in there and not have to deal with AT&T at all since you don't have to buy a contract with the phone.

is the pricing all that bad? i mean - yes - it is expensive - but from what i have been able to figure - isn't it just their normal rate plan with the $20 added on for unlimited internet use?
i really like the set it up through itunes (as i am not a fan of mobile phone people) . . . it has been interesting to see the innovative (to me) stuff that they are doing with this phone (not to mention the frenzy/seeming shakeup around the industry that has surrounded it).
i am going to go take a nap with my imac now . . . i have a sad sad life.
