I looked on the AT&T website and data+tethering option for pda devices is $65 a month!! I have been hearing any where from $10 to $20 a month when(if) it comes out for the iPhone...

Which do ya'll think would be the more accurate indicator of the cost of the feature?

VW is $15/month but you can use PDAnet and get it for free. I use it so much that I pay the monthly fee since I don't want my data plan pulled. In most cases, I get better speed than most hotels free wireless speeds. I was at a conference and they were charging $25/day. Pulled out my BB and had at it. USB tethered is a lot faster than Bluetooth.

I don't think it would be $10 or $20 a month. Would be nice though. It will most likely be up in the same price area as all the other tethering plans.

Anything more than $25.00/month in addition to the $30.00 unlimited data plan cost and I'm out.
