    New iPhone, but no AT&T? That will cost you

    POSTED July 2, 12:22 PM

    The iPhone 3G will be available July 11.
    You can get the new iPhone and use a carrier other than AT&T.

    You'll just have to spend an extra $400.

    That's the word from AT&T, the "exclusive" iPhone carrier, which apparently believes the pricing difference will preclude users from going elsewhere for service.

    The iPhone 3G hits stores July 11, and it will cost you $199 for the 8GB model with a two-year AT&T contract. Upgrade to the 16GB model, and the cost is $299.

    If you want to go without that AT&T contract and find a different carrier, though, the prices jumps to $599 and $699, respectively.

    Of course, when you consider the original iPhone was priced at $599 ... maybe the $400 discount this time around - and faster Web speeds and new software applications - will soothe some ruffled feathers.

    The monthly pricing plans unveiled this week drew plenty of criticism, though it remains to be seen whether that translates into lost sales. Previously, a monthly iPhone plan started at $59.99, and you had 200 text messages included.

    The least expensive plan now goes for $69.99. And text message service runs an extra $5 to $20 a month, or users can have a pay-as-you-text service at 20 cents per message.
