I'm not sure I understand why people are expecting special iPhone plans to begin with. There's no reason iPhone users can't just pick one of the 20 or more AT&T calling plans, and that leaves just the data aspect, which is already covered by at least half a dozen current options.

Further, I see no reason an iPhone data plan would be more than the $40 plans already in effect if a lot of web browsing, etc., will be on a WiFi connection rather than over AT&T's air. If I were Apple and AT&T, I'd be trying to sell as many $600 phones and new plans as possible instead of gouging people on data.

I agree the Safari browser is cool, but if AT&T's data rates are as slow as people seem to be saying, I'm guessing most people will do most of their browsing when on a high-speed WiFi connection, etc., rather than trying to download 800k web pages on a slow connection.
