if you take the cost of an 8 gig iphone and the cheapest plan ($59.99)it comes out to roughly $83 per month total cost of ownership over the 2 year contract.
That's more than enough to spend on my cell phone.
If I were a real road warrior I might want 3G more and be happy to pay for it.
I agree. I find the only reason I would need 3G would be for browsing (not email) and I find the screen a little small for true browsing. However, some of the Mobile Only sites (like my movie schedule) work just fine on EDGE since there is not that much data. Also, do not use YouTube.
