Apple iPhone 3G

The two models cost $199 or $299 under contract.

The new phones will still be "locked" to AT&T and won't work with any other carrier unless they are modified. AT&T will only activate them on the regular iPhone plans, which include a $30 monthly charge for data access. Prepaid service will not be available.

Apple is widely expected to release a new version of the phone this summer.
