I got my iPhone for work back in june for a few reasons.

• I really wanted a touch screen ipod.
• I wanted a video ipod with a larger screen.
• I wanted portable email on my phone.
• I wanted a phone that didn't suck.
• I needed to test out our new external mail system at work.

You can see that none of these issues were related to cost. Good PDAs cost tons. My last ipaq was almost $700.00. A 400 dollar iPhone was no big deal to me. Imagine my surprise when I  went over the phone bills with my boss, and discovered that comparable service through verizon on our Q's was almost $120.00! I currently pay around $70.00 for my service.  Over the lifetime of the service, this really adds up and more than covers the added cost of the device it self.

I'm really confused now about why people are claiming the iphone plans are expensive. Maybe they should double check their overages.
