$1254 total cost for two years, including phone but not including taxes
You could add $720 more to get $1974 for 2 years.
I'm not an iPhone apologist - I've held off of buying one so far. I'm just not sure where you are getting your numbers or attitude.

Ok, even if my numbers are off, I was going by an article I read in Slate.com a while back. You don't include taxes, which is kind of unfair, so for arguments sake lets say that you go with the $1974 pretax number and add on another $50 in taxes for a total of $2025.
For a fucking phone.
I could give a fuck that it has internet access and you can download shit to it or watch vids or take pictures. Why anyone would want to watch
ANYTHING on a vid screen that's less then 4 inches wide is insanely stupid.
But looking at it from another side, I could pay $25 a month for basic phone service, a landline, which I could use to access the internet, which might run me another $9 a month. That gives me a total of $816 a year and gives me $1209 which I can go spend on porn star escorts. Plus, quite frankly, being
THAT connected to the Internet and such is deeply, deeply disturbing on several levels. Let's be seriosu, how fucking pathetic are you if you have to check your fucking email every 15 minutes all day long.
NO ONE is that important, not even President Bush.
Total waste of money.
