You can forgive AT&T for wiretapping your every word and email for the past few years.  Apparently the price of the iPhone is set to drop when the new 3g’s hit the market.  According to CNN Money’s Techland, anyway, the iPhone could become extremely affordable in the very near future.

From the article:

“AT&T (T) is planning to put some extra shine on the even sleeker new Apple (AAPL) iPhone.

When the 3G iPhone is introduced this summer, AT&T, the exclusive U.S. iPhone sales partner with Apple, will cut the price by as much as $200, according to a person familiar with the strategy.

AT&T is preparing to subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, bringing the price down to $199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, the source says. Apple is expected to have two versions of the new iPhone, an 8-gigabyte-memory and a 16-gigabyte-memory model with price tags widely expected to be $399 and $499.”

So yeah.  I’m buying an iPhone when this happens.
