iPhone 3G
Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.
Pricing
The black, standard-model iPhone 3G has 8 GB of storage and costs $199. A 16GB model is available for $299, in either black or white.
The original iPhone was expensive: $399 to $599, depending on the model and when you bought it. Unlike most mobile phones sold in the US, it was not subsidized. iPhone 3G reverts to the traditional US model, where a lower price is subsidized by AT&T, which recovers the cost through requiring a two-year service contract.
Most carriers outside the US also are subsidizing iPhones, but iPhone price and rate plans vary widely from country to country.
U.S. AT&T iPhone plans start at $69.99/month, $30 of which buys unlimited data, while the remainder pays for a 450-minute talk plan. SMS texts are no longer included, so heavy texters will need to buy an additional text plan or pay an outrageous $0.20 per SMS text message. Text plans start at $5 for 200 messages/month.
Existing iPhones still cost $20/month for data and include 200 texts. AT&T says that old iPhones remain eligible for this plan, even if they are used for new accounts.
