The iPhone Service Plan

Wow, that’s a lot better than I thought it would be, and will speed up service at the store when you buy one:

The iPhone Matches Most of Its Hype – New York Times

For example, once the phone goes on sale this Friday, you won’t sign up for service in a phone store, under pressure from the sales staff. You will be able to peruse and choose a plan at your leisure, in the iTunes software on your computer. Better yet, unlimited Internet service adds only $20 a month to AT&T’s voice-plan prices, about half what BlackBerry and Treo owners pay. For example, $60 gets you 450 talk minutes, 200 text messages and unlimited Internet; $80 doubles that talk time. The iPhone requires one of these voice-and-Internet plans and a two-year commitment.

    The problem I’m hearing is that the AT&T network is horrendously slow for data, taking a minute or more for commonly used web pages such as Amazon. Combine that with the gaps in the phone itself given in today’s reviews, and I’m waiting for at least v2.0 myself.
