resistance to persistence

from Core77…. And remember, this is US prices. Canadian rates are much higher.

AT&T has just announced their iPhone plan rates. So how much will it actually cost you to get an iPhone, including your first month of service? Let’s see: $499 for the 4GB, $599 for the 8GB. Sales tax (for example, 8.375% in New York State). One-time AT&T activation fee of $36.

AT&T iPhone plan rates: 450 minutes, $60 (after taxes more like $72). 900 minutes, $80 (around $96 after taxes). 1,350 minutes, $100 (around $120 after taxes).

So what’s the damage?

4GB with 450: $648.79
4GB with 900: $672.79
4GB with 1,350: $698.79

8GB with 450: $757.17
8GB with 900: $781.17
8GB with 1,350: $807.17

I hope you really enjoy talking on the phone if you want to pay that much. I <3 Apple and the iPod and I would love to have an iPhone, but I can’t spend that kinda cash.Unless I get to try out another phone from a friendly PR company.
