When I checked after lunch in San Francisco near my office in Embarcadero, all their iPhone3G were already sold out. I am not surprised because I know the stories when iPhone came out first time last year.
As I will buy 2 iPhone3Gs this coming 1st August when my Verizon contract will finish, I took some effort to figure out the rough estimates for 2 years’ plan prices for iPhone3G from AT&T -
1 iPhone3G Individual Plan:
$70 (+ tax) * 12 * 2+ $200 (+ tax for phone set) + $36 (activation fee) + $30 * 12 * 2 (+ tax) = $2636 (+ a lot of accumulated tax)
So if I apply a flat tax of 8.75% on the total it becomes $2866.65 for next 2 years.
2 iPhone3G Family Talk Plan:
{ $70 (+ tax) * 12 * 2 + $10 (for 2nd line) * 12 * 2 (+ tax) } + { $200 * 2 (+ tax for 2 phone sets) } + { $36 + $26 (activation fee) } + [ { $30 * 12 * 2 (+ tax) } * 2] = $3822 (+ a lot of accumulated tax)
So if I apply a flat tax of 8.75% tax on the total it becomes $4156.425 for next 2 years.
This will be on top of my Blackberry that I get from my office with unlimited voice and data plan. But I like iPhone not Blackberry!
How does it sound to you?

Sounds good. You know the Bangla proverb "Sokher dam lakh taka" , right? It's a old proverb, now it should be changed to "Sokher dam Koti taka". The amount you are mentioning, is more than Lakh Taka, but less than crore Taka. You can go ahead and buy iPhone ;)
I bought iPhone for both my and my wife. Didn't get time to play around with it much yet.
