iphone 2 for rjbs?

I was sure that when iPhone 2 came out I'd get one. The new price makes it pretty attractive, too. Then again, one of the reasons I was so eager to get one was that I was stuck with that piece of crap Samsung. Now I have my RAZR back, which is a nice phone. Then again, just yesterday my five year old iPod finally gave up the ghost, so I have no portable music player.

Augh!

I guess what I need to do is figure out how much more I'll be paying a month if I move both Gloria and myself to AT&T, possibly both with iPhones.

Not cheaper

You may know this already but the new iPhone isn't really cheaper. The AT&T services fees go up $10/month so you pay less up front but more over the life of the 2-year contract.

Fair enough, but $10/month is fairly insignificant, whereas $200 at once is quite a difference.

I bet El Jobso didn't think of that.
