[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 772634, member: 6074"] There are some conflicting reports of what will happen should you choose to get an iPhone. I was in your same boat - I am an AT&T user, I had an 8525 with the unlimited data plan, and a year left on my contract. Because you are still in contract, you will pay full price for the iPhone ($299 for 8GB, $399 for 16GB). You do NOT pay anything for the BB since you are paying full price for the iPhone as you are still in contract. Now, because the iPhone unlimited data plan is $30/month, my plan dropped $10 per month as the 8525 plan was $40/month. If you text, I would pay the $20/mo for unlimited. I had 1500 and I went over that. Using SMS on the iPhone is much more appealing to use, probably because it looks like iChat unlike every other phone SMS capable phone out there. My first bill was prorated, but I would recommend going in at the start of your billing cycle. Only AT&T can tell you what you'll really be paying, but I thought I'd share my experience. I'm quite happy with the iPhone, it's fun to use and it doesn't get stale with all the apps you can add. And to add, I have since Jailbroken mine since version 2.1 and it's been a dream. (Now using 2.2) My favorite Winterboard theme is Umicon (uses GANT icons, very cool). [IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/__kRyGEVqfHY/SUiNgRl7cfI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/aLaGH5lDMuY/photo.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
