Apple and AT&T Announce iPhone Service Plans

daveschroeder writes "Apple and AT&T today announced service plans for iPhone, 4 days before its release in the US at 6pm local time on Friday, June 29. The plans are $59.99/mo for 450 minutes, $79.99 for 900 minutes, and $99.99 for 1350 minutes, and all include unlimited data, 200 SMS messages, rollover minutes, and unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling. Any other standard AT&T service plan may also be used. A two year service plan is required, with a $175 cancellation fee if terminated early. In addition, activations are done via iTunes, so only the hardware is purchased in the store. Interestingly, activation of a contract via iTunes is required to enable the iPod/syncing functionality of the phone as well. (It will remain to be seen whether there are workarounds for this for those who only want the iPod functionality of iPhone, and whether the iPhone is easily unlockable for those who wish to try it on alternate carriers, and so on.)"

I'm not fucking around anymore - the next time someone says "my bla bla bla does JUST ABOUT everything the iPhone does" I'm going to smack him/her - cut it - your phone doesn't do dick compared to the iPhone - it's not about you being a feature douchebag or a nerd - quite simply: the iPhone isn't for you because you don't get it - just because you don't get it doesn't mean anyone wants to hear about your problems
