So do you plan on upgrading?

Ohhh yeah I am upgrading to the new iphone 4. One of my employees already asked to buy my 3Gs when I get my new one.

I average 200-300MB of data usage a month on my iPhone. My internet usage has actually gone down as of late.

I think this is a mixed bag now. I browsed through all of the options on AT&T's site, which is a massive clusterfuck of a website design, btw, and compared it to my bill and what I might do if I upgrade.

What I originally signed up for: Unlimited Data with 200 texts for $20. They still have it, but it appears to not be "available" for the iPhone. I remember I grandfathered this "plan" when the price for data on the iPhone went from 20 to 30 dollars.

What I have now: Unlimited Data with Texts for 30 dollars. This plan is ALSO still available, but like the orignal iPhone data plan from 3 years ago, is no longer supported. That's right, you can still get unlimited data for a blackberry it seems. I was automatically "upgraded" to this BS of a plan about a year ago, and no matter how much fighting I did, I could not keep my grandfathered 20 dollar plan. additionally, whatever idiot made this change didn't activate my unlimited texts, so my first bill was attrocious, since I decided to take advantage and actually text people, but i got that refunded. This is the plan that people will be able to grandfather in

What they offer now: 2GB for 25 dollars and unlimited texts for 20 dollars. I think this is something that ATT has been trying to avoid talking about, and something a lot of tech sites have neglected to mention. The iPhone data plans no longer include texts. So while the data usage might be "okay" for 90% of the users, everyone that texts is taking it up the ***. Now I know for a fact I won't be switching, because even if I go with the cheap 15 dollar data plan, I'll be paying 5 dollars more for my texts...

Edit: This forum censors ***, but not clusterfuck >.>

I think I'm just going to preorder mine instead of waiting in line. So you'll have yours before I get mine.
