Well, basically is the third generation (3G) of mobile phone standards. It allows more services, such as video calls, live TV over mobile phones, video on demand, high-speed internet, etc.

To the user? Not here. It's a flat rate between 15 and 25 Euro a month (25 to 35 US$) depending on the speed needed.

I'm going to get one next week probably (possibly the week after) so I can help then.

I see... Everyone is pointing this out because it is more expensive than any other Smartphone (like a Blackberry) from AT&T?
Oh, wait... No, it is exactly the same data price as both the Blackberry and PDA Connect plans from AT&T.

I know... There have just been a lot of similar reports on Engadget and other similar places.
The monthly price went up, which sucks, but isn't surprising because it now matches the cost of it's main competitors. The initial cost came way down though, because AT&T is now subsidizing the phone. I'm personally fine with that. The total cost remained roughly the same (went up by about $68 dollars over the course of two years), and is still roughly the same as competing devices.
JimH:
A G is an old way of saying "a grand", meaning $1000. As in, "My neighbor just paid 6 G's for a new Cadillac. Can you imagine paying that much for a car?"
