This should help.... but it appears it is $39.99 for the cheapest regular, PLUS the $30 data plan. With a two year contract. One is the individual plans, the other is family plans (share the minutes, but still pay the $30 for data)
Got a tip for us?

Err. Thats veeery expensive o_o.
But its hard to convince my brain to change its mind
It might be dumb to ask this question here but, does anyone own a HTC hero?
Im very interested in it after seeing how you can customize it. But i heard it lags and the browser stinks compared to the iphone 3GS.
For touch/iphones: Can you even arrange the icons on the screen? Or does the device just place them randomly when you install them?

Yup, expensive here. You have a cheaper option though - so we can all be jealous!
Do you have the option of buying a Touch and returning it if you don't think it will work for you?
Yes you can rearrange the icons, and you can do it in iTunes now too - which is nice. Before you had to do it all on the screens - and it was a PITA moving something from page 11 to 1.
I don't know anyone with a Hero, i'm sure there are some forums out there for some answers. The problem will be getting someone to really be fair in comparing them.
I can say that if i had the option to get the iPhone at the prices you posted and the short contract (assuming those are US $ values), i'd do it. Well, maybe not if it was AT&T, but you don't have to worry about that! Last I knew that even when you buy an unlocked phone, or a used one, you HAVE to have a 2 year contract. Which stinks.
Good luck deciding - it's hard i know!
