    When all is said an done iphone owners will be paying $40+ additional a month (on top of their data plan) to have the extra premiums services Sprint customers get included with their data plans. You probably forgot that ATT does NOT include GPS, TV, SMS, etc with their plans. Sprint customers will have those in addition to MMS, picture and video included in their plans at no additional cost.

    At $129 how do you figure it will be a penny less?
