AT&T: New iPhone, No Contract

AT&T announced today they will sell the Apple iPhone without a contract. That means the devout iPhone consumer can purchase the phone from AT&T with AT&T service but without signing an agreement. But there's a catch: the price of the iPhone just jumped two-fold without the contract.

According to previously stated reports, the two new models of iPhones will go on sale this month for $199 and $299, depending on the amount of memory. You can grab the iPhones at that price if you sign a two-year AT&T contract. Don't want a contract with AT&T? Prepare to pay $599 and $699.

Would someone please tell me what the upside to this is? Either way, aren't you paying out the ass for an iPhone?
