Mine's only $90/month. (Still a lot, but definitely not $145.) And it's $70 base if you take out texting. rikker: You’re just jealous. :P

While they're way rad and everyone I know that has one loves it, it's so darned expensive! and I'm talking about monthly fees! My friends blog (nevblog.com) gushes about how great the 3G is and how he loves it but says: "iPhone: $400 (With two year contract) Activation: $35 T-Mobile Contract Break: $200 AT&T Monthly billing: $145 So my first month of having this phone will cost: $780 Subsequent months will be $145/month (more than twice my $71.00 monthly rate for a basic T-mobile phone)." My response is- HOLY COW! So yeah, I'm glad you like it, it's a way cool gadget that never gets old, but it sure comes with a big monthly price tag I’ve thought about getting an itouch but not an iPhone.

I know it is terribly archaic of me, but I don't mind having a simple address book and basic calendar in my old school (lowest model) phone.
