That might be easy to say as someone in the business. But just go
To the page to examine the phone at AT&T--
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/specials/ 
iPhoneCenter.html?so
urce=IC980100110q5400

The pricing is not obvious, the contract is filled with restrictions  
only a
lawyer could understand, and there's no big print about the details --

For example, the unlimited service has caveats like Wifi only can be  
used
150 times, large messages get additional fees, and you can get billed  
for
calls that don't go through or network errors.

The phone is pretty, but the AT&T side is like all cell phone deals -- 
like
reading Aramaic or finding mistakes in the telephone directories.
