With the benefit of time, the original deal (rev share) AT&T deal just might come to be seen as the 'second greatest unintentional head-fake in tech history' since by setting the bar so high for what a mobile phone could be, and extracting such rich financial terms from AT&T, Apple seriously baited the hook for carriers desperate to get into the excuse-free mobile Internet game, but waiting for a vendor with more traditional economics (i.e., a heavily subsidized phone but no revenue sharing).

Prediction: carriers will sign up en masse, customers will see $199 as a relatively easy impulse buy, and once a couple 'have to have' iPhone apps start flooding into the market, Apple is going to do some crazy volume.

Check out the post I wrote on the topic, if interested:

Yes, I can confirm the ATT release. Basically, at the end of two years, you end up paying more than before.

Surprising that with all these new features, something as basic as synchronizing Notes is still missing.

The $199 and $299 prices are UN-subsidized. However, I just listened to the AT&T Investor Call on this topic and it sheds some light on the topic. Apple and AT&T have restructured the original revenue sharing deal. Going forward with the 3G iPhone, AT&T is retaining all voice and data revenues. That traditional method will allow them to subsidize the iPhone even further. http://www.jkontherun.com/2008/06/heres-why-you...

Yeah, down about 2% now, nothing major. I think it could soar though on revised sales estimates forth coming from analysts…
