True price is a driving force for consumers, even if they are too stupid to realize the $199 iPhone is actually more expensive over the 2yr contract.

I think the real reason for the boon in iPhone sales was the inclusion of Exchange. As a network admin iPhones where not supported by IT period. Now I encourage ppl to check them out. Why pay for a RIM server when I already have an Exchange server that is super easy to setup on a Windows Mobile, or iPhone device. We are a fairly small company about 100 users or so, and we had 5 iPhones purchased in the last month alone.

more expensive than what? I'm confused, if a person has AT&T an iPhone plan is no more than a plan on a Blackberry, or a WM phone. The iPhone isn't magically more expensive every month. Yes they could get a cheaper plan with Sprint or T-Mobile but if they're already with AT&T the iPhone is a good choice. The fact they have to get a data plan with it is a moot point, I don't know a single person who would want that high level of a phone without having internet on it.
