Yes it is cheaper, by a lot however ATT makes up for it in monthly charges because unlike paying $60 a month for the first iPhone.. it is now $70 a month..

SO the other phone was $399 and if you took that and multiplied by 24 (amount of months in a contract) the old iPhone would be $1839.... for the new iPhone ($10 more a month) at $200 less the amount would be: $2095

That is a lot to pay for a phone... and Well I have a touch.... WAY more economical... especially when I have phone service for $10 a month....
Um, I'm assuming the minimum contract is similar to the UK minimum contract. the UK minimum contract is about $70 and has something like 500 minutes and 750 texts with unlimited internet access. Yes it is expensive, but if you actually look at what you get for it, it's actually quite cheap.
