Oh yeah, the $10 difference was based on the family plan. I guess there's a wider gap with the single plans.

You also have to account for any "in" features - do all providers now allow included minutes and texting for those within the same provider? And if they do, then are most of your calls or texts within the same network? That can cause a significant difference in the amount of minutes/texts you would need, and the cost of the plan. |

Browser can be landscape or portrait. More fits on landscape so I wonder if I will switch to type or just learn.

I'm eager to try the new 3.0 iPhone OS, but will wait until the jailbreak software is released. Don't want to give up tethering, video recording, SSH etc .

Yeah, um, no thanks.
I mean, really, thanks for the chart. A good $1,200 cheaper for the phone I think is the ugliest (but, hmmm, the smallest). And seriously, $150 a month for iPhone service vs. the $50 I'm paying now. So basically, $100 a month for internet on the go ... when I spend 80% of my time where there's a computer already at my fingertips. Seriously, not for me. Thanks. |

If you don't need unlimited voice, or unlimited text, the iPhone plan can be as low as $75/month. (450 minutes, 200 texts)
At Sprint it's $70 (450 minutes, unlimited texts).

I used the Motorola Q for two years before switching to the iPhone. I used the Q for online banking, Twitter (until it crapped out on me a couple of weeks ago), accessing some email, the calendar for reminders, and some texting and, oh yeah, phone calls. Any phone that I have gets used the least as just a phone. All those functions were okay but clunky for me on the Q and the screen was just too damn small. Do I really need to do all those things away from home? Probably not but I really enjoy the convenience. I don't have access to the internet at work for personal stuff so to be able to do something as simple as pay a bill at work instead of at home is great. Now with the iPhone all those things I got used to click, click, clicking through the Q are so easy on the iPhone it's a real pleasure. I love being able to check AOL and gmail from the same icon and it's so easy to delete mail without reading it (a necessity for the AOL account, I don't know if it was even possible with the Q). Do I need to do that during the day? Now that I can, yes. And the iPhone is just so pretty.

I certainly don't "need" unlimited, but I love never having to be concerned about it. I guess I needn't be concerned about a text limit when tweeting is fast replacing texting anyway.
This could all be solved with a big fat raise from my employer. How can i convince them an iPhone is vital to my improved job performance? |

CP and I have never surpassed our 300 text/each limit, but 200 is uncomfortably low. If we were to go iPhone I think we'd probably spring for the extra $10 for the 1500 text plan. But the fact that Sprint's cheapest includes unlimited text is a strong reason we'll be sticking with them over AT&T.

And what about these apps that make the thing worth the having? Are they paid monthly, too? Or do you just buy them once and then have them in perpetuity?
I don't know which ones I'd want, but chances are I want a good handful of them. And the availability of the wide variety is one of the major plusses to the iPhone, as I understand it. If it happens, it's gonna be a birthday gift (to myself) - so I have a couple of weeks to work this all out. |
