Hi Ricardo, I'm also concerned aboug the cost for the data plans going up before the next iPhone comes out. Remember, at least for Verizon customers, a data plan is required ven if one has wiFI. It's my understanding that the data plan, at least for a limited time will be $29.99 for unimited access, and that's appealing. It's a tough call, I'll acknowledge that. I just don't like the unknown factors here.
