So has the real cost of iPhone come down yet? The two year contract sucks behind. Isn't it something like 6-7x the price of the HW itself?

I'm only paying $20/mo for unlimited service. That comes to an end once I go 3G, then it's $60/mo

Ouchie. How fast is that 3G? I think 2/1mbit would be something like that around here. [EDIT] Ah, no, it's 46 usd/mo. [/EDIT]

unlock it then

Apparently you're forced to sign the 2 year deal at purchase time, so the unlocking does little good.

Um, those prices don't include tax? That 46 for 2/1mbit does, so if you want to compare, adjust accordingly.

I think I've never seen "no service" msg. The worst I've seen has been some delay when sending some new year texts.

Tie-in phone deals only became legal in finland year or two ago, and they're only possible for 3G phones. That's why we did't have iPhone (officially) until now.

Speaking of which, technically iPhone 3G isn't really 3G (IIRC the spec demands a front camera). Ok that's nitpicking... :-)

Apparently the iPhone 3G has some issues.
