confessions:

So AT&T/Apple have finally lifted the veil on most of the pricing issues surrounding the iPhone 3G and it looks like everything I said here turned out correct. To summarize, the advertised price is the discounted upgrade price (which is really odd since it’s also the new subscriber price) and the data plan doesn’t include text messages. (I still don’t know if they’ll allow corporate discounts though.) So if anyone tells you the new iPhone is cheaper, they’re deluded.

EDIT: Customer service says “We do not think that you will be able to use any corporate discount with the iPhone or the iPhone plans.”

This is somewhat disappointing. The podcasts I heard gave me hope that the lack of official information meant they weren’t going to screw things up in such a manner.

Regardless, Leandra and I are probably going to get one anyway. We both would like to move into the smartphone space, and the iPhone 3G is too to us compared to other options. Shame it ends up being more expensive, especially considering international announcements of even cheaper iPhones and plans.

The music is a touch on the trite side, but there’s no denying that this video is pretty damn impressive.
