The transformation from just outright purchasing your phone to a license style usage fee has begun. I was never a fan of the iPhone deal if only because after Apple sells you the phone, they are hardly adding much value. They aren't producing content and haven't really improved the phone much as of yet. Will they want to split your cable modem bill next, sure.
Regular software updates add value. How many software updates does Motorola release for handsets? How easy are they to apply?
You don't have to be a fan "of the deal" as long as you're happy with what you pay for the phone - outright and monthly. If you feel you're getting a deal, then great. If not, then buy something else.
