Man that sucks.
I was hoping they'd keep the $20 data plan. Now the lowest iPhone plan possible is $70 a month!

I wonder if that means I'll have to pay $45 to use hosted exchange? This only cost met $30 on WM.# Unlimited iPhone 3G data plans for consumers will be available for $30 a month, in addition to voice plans starting at $39.99 a month.

I'm very disappointed in AT&T jacking up the prices on the iPhone 3G. Almost spoils the announcement for me.
I'm unsure of what I'm going to do now..
What about visual voicemail? That used to be included in the iPhone data plan, and if the new data plan is just a standard PDA data plan, does it still include Visual Voicemail? What about the 200 text messages?
I'm sure visual voicemail is still included but those 200 text messages sound like they're gone, sadly. AT&T sucks big time.
I don't know why I included the text messages because I have an unlimited plan, so it won't affect me one way or another. I currently pay $30 for my BlackBerry Personal plan as well, so that won't affect me either. The Visual Voicemail had BETTER be there though! That is a huge feature of the iPhone, and one I LOVED when I had it.
I jumped for joy at the initial pricing announcement, now I am not so sure if the "technical" subsidization is a good thing.
I've never understood the difference between a Data plan and their Media plans. I've used my Treo on the MediaMax Unlimited plan ($15) for years now. Use POP email as well as Exchange Server through work.
Doubt if I get an iPhone, I'd be that lucky and have to migrate to their higher priced plan.
With the increase in data plan price, $10 more per month for 24 months is $240 + $199 = $439... this is essential the cost of the new iPhone.I'm very disappointed in AT&T jacking up the prices on the iPhone 3G. Almost spoils the announcement for me.

I guess the iPhone is no longer the apple of AT&T's eyes anymore..
It was cool in the past year because it seemed like though the iPhone itself was expensive, the "iPhone Plan' was paving a way for very affordable unlimited data plans complete with SMS.
It's really saddening to see AT&T place such a grip on the iPhone and stripping what once made the iPhone unique. The iPhone is now just a phone in the carrier lineup..nothing more
