Welcome! You might want to look around in some of the other threads, like this one. We don't know yet as the official announcement regarding plans hasn't happened yet.

I spoke with my local AT&T rep and they stated the following:
1- You will be required to purchase the $39.95 PDA plan in addition to the voice plan.
2- Current AT&T customers will NOT be able to switch to this plan unless they want a different number or until their current contract expires.
I verified this with two other AT&T wireless stores.

I know it was just a rep but does this mean that existing customers could use ANY plan that they currently have? As in pay 20 a month for the data?
Yes you will NEED the data plan. Certain features like the visual voicemail will not work without the data plan in place. I think it would be a shame to get such a cool phone and not be able to use all of the cool features...
I sure hope AT&T/Cingular explains this soon. I'd like to keep my current voice plan and just add the required data plan if possible. Changing numbers to do so? I really don't care, I wouldn't mind having a number with my current area code.
I was just at the AT&T Store yesterday and they said that AT&T is making a data plan package specifically for the iPhone but the associates have not been told what it will be yet. The iPhone specific plan makes sense as the iPhone has many features not available on other phones. ONLY 6 MORE DAYS!
