Why is the iPhone3G so cheap?
Don’t be fooled by that $199 price tag for the new iPhone3G. The only reason it is so cheap is because it is being subsidized by AT&T. You cannot purchase an iPhone3G individually from the Apple Store online. You can go to a brick and mortar Apple Store and buy one, but you have to activate it on site. This means, if you already have AT&T service, you will be required to renew your contract another 2 years. Not to mention the data plans are rumored to be changing to a more expensive model. No more iPhone packages.
Buyer beware! I think I’m going to stick with my current iPhone 1.0 (jailbroken of course.)
