Thanks Rod...Very good advise. I will wait until my usage habits reveal 
themself.
Knowing myself and having read a little about the iPhone, I may need a $500 
plan (:<(.
The ability to be able to visionally check your security cameras could be 
very handy. I guess that would depend on the security system installed, 
would it not?

Thanks again for your advise,

John

plans like from 3.

|
| Probably best to wait till you see how you actually use the iphone once 
you get it.
|
| Its got so many interesting apps, many of them free, that its hard to say 
what might appeal to you.
|
| One of the things that caught my attention was the very elegant app
| that allows the iphone to act as a very fancy X10 remote for example.
| In that case you may well decide to do stuff like turn the oven on while
| you are still at work so things start cooking ready for you when you
| end up at home, or turn something like that off when you get stuck
| in traffic etc or when your alarm system tells you that somethings
| going on at your house and you want to check the cameras etc.
