I believe that this will be the time that I renew my AT&T contract with an iPhone. I am eligible in July, so this is perfect timing. I've been contemplating for a long time whether or not to get one, but now I think I will make that jump.

Any pros or cons you'd like to share about the iPhone before I make the commitment?

I may be iPhone-bias, but there aren't many real cons. If you haven't picked one up yet, $99 is a steal for this phone. I don't know how I got along with out it!

Believe me, you'll love it.

I live in an AT&T deadzone so I'd go for the new iPhone if Sprint could carry it...

What you have to remember is that it is for a NEW contract. I broke my 3Gin January and and had to pay FULL price for a new one $399-8GB/$499-16Gb, and your contract is renewed as well. Kind of lame to be honest.

Yeah, current members, are granted access to the new 16GB/32GB by paying double the price of a new user, and of course, renewing your contract for another 2 years. Bad APPLE!

No, you mean BAD AT&T!

The only con is AT&T's wacky price inconsistency. There is a lot of confusion as to who gets the subsidezed price and who doesn't.

But if you're buying an iPhone for the first time and you're getting the 3G for $99, well thats a pretty sweet deal.

I would advise people to get a case for it in case you drop it.

Actually the only con that I see is that it currently (or I should say AT &T) doesn't have tethering available yet and not everywhere around the metro area is 3G compatible which slows it down.

Tethering was a feature hat was wildly promoted...Hmm
