According to the CEO of AT&T: Randall Stephenson, Apple will provide a new iPhone with 3G capabilities… Randall didn’t give any information regarding the price. I guess that at the period of the launch of this new iPhone, we will see a lot of sales of the 1st generation of iPhone inside eBay.

So said AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, speaking at a Churchill Club meeting in California.
“You’ll have it next year,” Stephenson said in response to a question about when the 3G iPhone would debut. He said he didn’t know how much more the new version will cost than the existing model, which sells for $399. Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs “will dictate what the price of the phone is,” he said.
Wow, Randall, way to spill the beans. I mean, hey, I’m glad to hear that a 3G iPhone is in the works for the near future—though I never doubted it would be—but haven’t you heard what Steve Jobs does to people who steal his thunder?
Let’s put it this way: remember what happened to Prometheus when he stole fire from the gods to bring it to mankind? Yeah, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

We’re not sure exactly who would opt to drop the $20 unlimited data part of their iPhone plan—despite the higher speed of Wi-Fi, I still spend far more time on EDGE due to its sheer ubiquity. But at least now you have the option to save that extra $20 a month if, for whatever reason, you find yourself not needing unlimited data.
As of this week, AT&T allows you to get rid of the data plan on your iPhone. Login to your account on AT&T Wireless, choose “Rate Plan & Features” and then “Add/Manage Features.” If you scroll down, you’ll find the section shown above and an option to “Select to Remove.”
Before you go ahead and slough off that EDGE, you should note that not only will you lose the ability to access data on EDGE with Safari, Mail, and any other app that requires network access, but you’ll also lose the ability to use Visual Voicemail (you can still access your voicemail in a more conventional fashion of dialing in and entering your passcode).

Around the time of the release of the iPhone, we first started hearing angry comments from those who wanted to use their phones while abroad. Turns out that even with AT&T’s international calling plans, users often end up being charged exorbitant rates due to the phone’s data capabilities. Apple partially addressed this in the 1.1.1 software update by adding a feature to disable Data Roaming, but now AT&T is doing their part by adding international data plans for the iPhone to the mix.
The plan comes in two flavors, differentiated by a data cap—sorry folks, no unlimited firehose here. For 50MB of data, you’ll pay $59.99/month, for 20MB, $24.99/month. Go over and you’ll pay half a cent for every kilobyte. But wait: there’s more. That rate only applies within the 29 countries in which AT&T has struck their deal. Visit the link above for the fine print. In both cases, you’ll need to add International Data to your existing domestic iPhone plan, so international users looking for a loophole shouldn’t get too excited. Plus, as AT&T spells out, overages can get expensive pretty quick, with each additional megabyte running you up to $20 if you routinely travel outside the coverage area.

Way to act like my dad, Apple. So just because other people have been buying iPhones for the purpose of unlocking them and reselling them, I get punished? According to the AP, Apple has imposed a limit of two iPhones per customer, and isn’t allowing customers to pay with cash (or, according to other sources, with Apple Gift Cards). Previous to the policy change, which occurred last Thursday, customers were allowed to buy up to five iPhones in whatever way they wished.
It’s kind of an odd move, when you think about, making it harder for people to buy your product. But it appears that the unlocking contingent has Apple seriously worried—is it purely about the money they might lose out on from the deal, or are they worried about upsetting AT&T? There also remains the question of what happens when a legitimate unlocked iPhone goes on sale in France at the end of next month. We expect the price premium to be considerable, and I’d guess that similar sales limits might be enforced.
