Anthony N.The unlimited data package for the iphone (email and internet) is currently $20 extra per month, but is going up to $30. for the 3G phones.
I think there is a basic amount of text messages included in that, so basically the only difference between a regular cell phone and an iphone is the $30 charge (along with the $200 cost of the phone, which has dropped by 2/3 since a year ago)
The downsides of the current iphones?
Can't change out the battery
The ringer is pretty quiet
It won't load sites written in Flash.
The new one is supposed to address the flash issue, the battery still won't be able to be changed out, hopefully the ringer will improve.
Upsides? Tons, and with the new one having full gps you can probably forego the Garmin (previously the worlds greatest gadget)
