Would you still buy it?

[Cantwait4iPhone]

The question here is:

Who on this forum would still buy an iPhone on day one, if the data plan is announced to be $40?


Feel free to vote and say why. My vote is yes.


EDIT: The poll is now up.

I would definatly need to think about it. Most likely I would

No problem, it's only money.......

Cool guys, thanks for voting and adding to the thread!


Please continue to vote, I see the results seem to show that most people still plan on buying the iPhone no matter what. I think, though, that many others that are new to the iPhone would be scared away if there is a $40 data plan. More iPhones for us!

 

[hmlaa]

yeah, thats how much my current plan is a month.

 

[ColsTiger]

Oh yeah. I'm gonna use this new technology. No more surfin' the baby internet for me. I'm surfin with Safari whether I'm on Wifi or not.

 

[Remain Nameless]

It's gonna take some number crunching for me. Seeing my current plan and if I can cut some corners, etc. to get the data plan (if it is in fact $40 per month)... If it's $40, that'll make a tough decision for me, but I've come this far and obsessed this much over the iPhone so far, I'm leaning (optimistically) towards buying it if that's the case... with hesitancy.

heck YESSSS!

 

[iHuman]

As my only phone (no landline) I don't mind the 100$ bill per month. Thats how verizon rolls if you want the full use of the treo.

I agree completely. I want to use this thing to its full potential, and after $600, another $40 a month won't hurt, right?


I don't want to have to worry about browsing only at hot spots or paying large bills. I just want to use this thing and have fun.

the poll is if the DATA plan is $40 a month....thats ontop of the regular calling plan you would get, which is usually about $40 a month....so it would be all together $80 a month to run the iPhone...pretty darn expensive if you ask me

Yeah, it is expensive. But the voice plan is not part of the poll. Everybody has a slightly different voiceplan, I am just wondering if everyone will be scared away by a $40 DATA plan.

This is going to be some of the best money I spend each month. Definitely fine by me.

ALSO THE VISUAL VOICEMAIL WILL COST EXTRA AND IT DOES USE DATA, SO THE DATA PLAN FOR THE PHONE WILL COST MORE THAN THE PDA CONNECT FOR THE OTHER PDAs THAT AT&T OFFERS.

This would be great, and make it 100% worth it.

 

[Youngbinks]

I've paid the $40 a month before so this will be nothing new.
