mclark2112, the "new" AT&T data plan is the same as it is for every other "smartphone"/BlackBerry. Considering iPhone's better browser and the new 3G makes higher data transfers more likely, I think its more than fair pricing. I'm paying more than that now for data+tethering on my Verizon BlackBerry -- I'll actually have a cheaper overall plan by switching to AT&T but will lose the tethering function (if I switch).
The lack of tethering is the only option I see missing from AT&T. $5 is fine for 200 texts; I don't use more than 10 in a month anyway, never use MMS or video recording so the lack of those features is no concern to me.
