the new "$199" iPhone is actually $40 *more* expensive than when it was $399, once you factor in the extra $240 ($10x12) for 2-year contract

... and if you have the iPhone longer than 2 years and can't get a better rate by then from AT&T, it could end up costing you a lot more

that he can't buy the iphone 3g online and hates the vodafone gr rates

how many people typically keep a phone outside of their contract time anyhow? By then everyone will be running a new iPhone3.5 or 4.

I've been with AT&T 5 but still, I've had about 12 phones.

However Apple truly is selling iPhone3 for half the price, the increase is from the carrier, not Apple.

waiting to see what kind of deal we will have in Brazil.

Sadly I have no data on overseas agreements.

thats just a guess...

lol

to know how much it will cost in Brazil.
