With a few days until the iPhone finally drops, the list of questions about the iPhone is slowly shrinking. Today we found out the long-awaited news on prices for iPhone cell plans from AT&T, ending much speculation. A recent rumor had suggested that the plan would be startlingly cheap, so some might be disappointed, but the prices are really rather average–neither spectacularly inexpensive or inspiringly cheap.

The cheapest plan is $59.99, which includes 450 minutes, the next plan is $79.99 for 900 minutes, and $99.99 for 1350 minutes. Aside from the minutes, all plans include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail, 200 SMS text messages (remember, no MMS), roll-over minutes, and unlimited mobile-to-mobile. There’s also a one-time activation fee of $36, just to toss a little salt in the wound.

Speaking of plan prices, Engadget has an exhaustive look at the total iPhone cost, comparing the hardware costs, plan costs, etc. against those of rival devices, family plans versus individual plans, and more. Highly worth looking at if you’re interested in how this all adds up.
