The other big kicker in the US is that the original iPhone data plan was $20 a month for unlimited data and 200 texts. The 3G iPhone plan is $30 with no inclusive texts so for the 200 texts that would be another $5. An increase of $15 a month to month or $180 a year in monthly charges over the 2G phone and an 18 month commitment contract, wheras the 2G iPhone was effectively commitment free as there was no handset subsidy. As much of the US has no 3G coverage with Edge as the highest data speed for the forseeable future the benefits of 2G iPhone with 2.0 vs 3G iPhone are marginal.
