I hear you!
That is why I got so pissed when that other poster claimed paying $60 a month for the AT&T plan is a good deal. It's just a telephone.....think about it, $60 a month for a freaking telephone.
Do these people pay their bills with credit cards or something? No wonder people owe more money than they make. Can we stop the madness!
Are you a student? Most people blow $6-12 per day for lunch in the real world.
You don't have to buy it, i dont find it rediculously expensive...thats not much more than one tank of gas...way less than most cable/sattelite tv services...i used to pay that for my home phone...now i no longer have a home phone/bill...
Next people will want gov't subsidized iphones.
Rape? I currently pay that same amount on t-mobile without the 200 free SMS. My plan is $40 + $20 for the Internet for a total of $60 a month.
Pretty much all three in my case. Actually, maybe just the first two despite having reasons to hate AT&T from what I've heard of their customer service.
I have 700 minutes on Verizon for $60 per month with no data package.
I'm thinking about switching to the unlimited package for $99 per month.
No land line home phone right now.
that depends on your point of view.

For the same price, I get more minutes and unlimited nights & weekends, but no data package. But, I don't need a data package.
The main reason I haven't switched... ATT service at my house and office is VERY weak.
For now I'll stick with my Treo that I bought from a guy who bought an iPhone.
I won't be selling my 8GB Touch, but I'll be giving it to my mother-in-law as soon as the 3G iPhone is released. I've been waiting over a year for an iPhone to be sold here in Japan, and I don't care how much it costs - I am buying one on launch day. Period.
I love my Touch but it will be worthless to me once I have an iPhone.

I'd say if She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn't end up buying an iPhone of her own I'll probably give my iPod touch to her, but I may well sell it otherwise.
It all depends on your perspective. For example, I'm paying about $100 /month for less than 300 minutes of use + access to a few watered-down WAP sites. I would LOVE to be able to pay $60 for a more minutes and real internet.
Steve also said that there would be no access allowed to the dock connector, so you can't really make a phone call without a mic.
I think standard iPod accessories will still work. This was a very gray point in the last mini keynote. Apart from the dock it would be cool if you could just use the headphones with built in mic like the iPhone has. I know its a dream but it would rock out!
VOIP iTouch could be apples way out from crappy ATT service, but who knows.
And that's where jailbreaking comes in. Hopefully they'll release a method for jb'ing the 2.0 firmware soon, so we can continue to enjoy full access to our iPods.
I bought my 8G iPod Touch with the expectation that it would tide me over until the 3G iPhone came out. I'm acquiring a business in July in a new location, and my contract with Verizon will be up in June, so it's great timing.
Rumors have been that AT&T might be subsidizing the new iPhone, and if that's the case, I'll probably drop my land line and buy a couple of them - one for me, one for the spouse. If we use them both for business they're a write-off anyway...

I'm selling my Touch to buy the 3G iPhone. Don't really care for AT&T, but the coverage is about the same as I have with my current provider T-Mobile.
Really wish Verizon could carry the iPhone but since it ain't gonna happen I'm going to just go with my only choice.

I'm currently offering my iPod touch 16Gb with dock for £170, and am buying the iPhone 3G. As you might have gathered, the price is so attractive as I really need a sale before July 11th. The reason I'm opting for the iPhone 3G now, as I never thought I would, is because I have found on the £30/mo I can get it down to 21/mo with some family o2 staff discount here in the UK (30%).
It makes sense to invest now, as I'm currently paying £20/mo for 18/mos on a SE K810i.
So theoretically, for £18 extra over the 18 months, I could be on the iPhone 3G.
... And the proceeds from the iPod touch sale will pay for the handset (£159).
Bring on July

I bought my iPod touch long after buying my iPhone. I have no plans to sell it for the iPhone 3G, which I will not be buying until its first interim revision.
