"[iCarrot] (http://techswot.com) makes a very good point about the
hype surrounding the iPhone and the "deal" that you have to sign up
for from AT&T. A story by Wired magazine's Rob Beschizza calculates
the minimum you will spend over 2 years for an iPhone and contract is
$1974.76. Deal, indeed!

Compared with the Motorola Q (stole these figures from RoughlyDrafted), which costs $2170 over the two years. Dude, you got a deal.
