Is it true that $60/mo. is the cheapest contract for an iPhone? That's<br>
seems high considering the number of iPhones I see around. With the<br>
N800/810/900 you need a data plan, right? If so, the cost of the Nokia<br>
would be more than the iPhone. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Actually, I just went to ATT.com to check things out, and from what I can see, an iPhone requires you to spend at least $70 per month. $39.99 for voice + $30 for data. If you get a family plan, you can get it down to about $120/month for 2 iPhones.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As for the N800/810/900 - you probably don't need a data plan. (The N900 is not released yet, so who knows.) You probably don't even need a voice plan - remember, the $550 is not subsidized by a carrier, so you won't have a contract. If its a GSM phone, which I'm pretty sure it is, you can just pop in a Tracfone SIM and pay for the voice service you use. As for the data, you can use 802.11b/g when its available. </div>
