[DM-MUG] Anyone been by the Apple or AT&T stores yet today?

[Bryan Baker]

It's an additional $10 on the data plan and they killed the "free" 200  
SMS messages that you got w/ the old plans and make you pay $5 to get  
that back.

The thing is, it's now exactly the same cost as the regular AT&T data  
plans that didn't involve the iPhone, so, yes the TCO is going up, but  
it's going up to match the regular rates and now the initial price is  
lower. It's going to hurt going from no data plan to the extra $30/mo  
we'll be adding, but at least I'll /use/ the data features, unlike the  
stuff I have on this little sony. I haven't made up my mind as to  
whether to pony up for the text messages yet, I pulled down the AIM  
client last night, so may see if that'll get me by.
