There have been no official, final pricing announcements from AT&T (short of the announcement that a new one will cost $199 and require a two year contract.) Everything else - the $30 data plan, the lack of included text messaging - is simply rumor at this point. They may be very accurate rumors, but they are not official yet. Apple and AT&T did not announce pricing on the iPhone last year until days before the official release, right? If I am remembering that correctly, then this is nothing new.

But not all that unusual. Look at Sprint and their iPhone lookalike. Launch day is here -- and nobody at Sprint knows for sure what plans the phone can or can't be launched with. I think it's all a sign of competition and not wanting to provide too much information ahead of time so competitors can form a strategy. At least in the iPhone's case I believe that's what is happening. Frustrating – yes. But not all that unusual. Look at Sprint and their iPhone lookalike.
