Hell yea 3G iPhone! What, it's cheaper too?!?

Well sure it is! They learned their lesson from the last release that even though people are willing to buy the damn things off the shelves like it was crack, they will still bitch about the price. So in a business move that most cellular phone makers learned years ago, they are allowing AT&T to "subsidise" some of the cost of these new devices. That means cheaper phones! Well, kinda...

In a classic bait-and-switch, AT&T is raising its minimum monthly service subscription for the new iPhone from $60 to $70 per month, according to the Associated Press.That's an extra $240 over the lifetime of the two-year contract — more than the $200 initial savings on the handheld's retail price. And all you "unlockers" probably won't be able to buy an iPhone directly from Apple and then jimmy it to work on another network with a cheaper plan. That's because it looks like Apple isn't going to sell them online any more.
