Langston, come on. Yes, the phone is expensive at $500 or $600.
But my phone/data plans did not increase in cost AT ALL. I was already an AT&T/Cingular customer and my existing plans, including my $19.99-for-unlimited-data plan, transitioned straight over to the iPhone. In fact, I now get 200 SMS messages per month that I did not get before with my BlackJack, so I'm actually saving money on my plan each month (based on what I am getting for the same amount of money).
