gee you're probably right. thanks for assuming that i'm an idiot who doesn't know how to properly operate a mobile phone. The razr is notoriously one of the worst phones ever made, and everyone i know who's had one has had to have it replaced multiple times (especially the pink one for some reason, though that could be because only girls buy the pink ones and throw them around).
Got a tip for us?

yah pay for it then find out you can't GET a plan for it!
Everybody is still trying to find out if you have to live in an ATT/Cingular-served zip code. And everybody keeps getting told, don't worry you'll have a plan that works for your iPhone.
Yah but will they SELL IT TO US at all???
I keep warning people I had trouble getting my Cingular contract a couple years ago because I lived in a Verizon dead zone but shopped and played in Cingular-land. It took a lot of talking and hassling to get a Cingular plan even though I had one from my "home" turf already. And both of them are supposedly national plans. Both have all that fine print about making too many calls from "borrowed" towers, blah blah blah. So like all my friends I carry a different plan's phone depending on where I'm going today.
I am wondering if I should go to an ATT corporate store instead of an Apple store for this reason. I don't want to shell out for the iPhone and then find out I can't even get a plan, and worse can't even turn the iPhone on to sync locally to my own Itunes library on a powerbook. I wish I could just know what the full requirement is to turn the iPhone on in your house and have it work at all, just local parts like iPod and video or just net connection via wifi... ????? plenty enough of us live in dead zones but would still want to use our iPhone features at home.
maybe the plans aren't all that great so they are delaying it until the last possible minute....after you have paid for the iphone itself

There is no news on the plan because they are exactly the same as what ATT already offers. Expect to pay $90/month.
It shocks me you people actually put up with all this teasing. I don't forsee buying another apple product after this iphone. I don't play games.
What if one chooses a data plan on the Family plan? Does it double, or are the minutes shared too?
This is like what I have been trying to tell people. Iphone is targeted at the more general public, not necessarily business people nor techy gadget freaks who are used to paying $40 data plans on top of minute plans. I am thinking (and hoping) that Steve Jobs coerced AT&T to agree to specific iphone plans that encompass all that the iphone needs at an affordable price that normal folks won't balk at.
Now Apple and AT&T, hurry up and give us want we want!!!
