Be Prepared to Pay for the Coolest iPhone Features

According to Triston McIntyre of Mac Blorge.com, users will have to purchase 2 year data plans before being able to access the cool stuff.

Triston has talked with a few AT&T Wireless sotre managers who have all told him that distribution materials are now arriving at stores, which include information about the required data plans.

In fact, the iPhone will come with a unique contract that doesn’t exist for any other phone AT&T sells.

says Triston of his conversation with one store manager.

Triston continues,

Though Steve Jobs clearly stated the the connectivity dependence of the iPhone will focus on WiFi and Blu-tooth, visual voicemail, Google Maps, or any of the other main features will be available only through a contractual AT&T data plan,

Though this might not sound bad, prices on iPhone plans have yet to be released; I, for one, am constantly immersed in the world of WiFi, nearly everywhere I go…a data plan (for the actual data transfer capabilities) would be a complete waste of money. don’t want to be locked into a 2 year data package when I use WiFi constantly…but apparently it isn’t an option.
