AT&T Corporate iPhone Deal: No Thanks (AAPL, T)

AT&T's corporate cellphone customers can now use Apple's iPhone with their business plans. But we can't see why they'd want to: AT&T's enterprise data plans are twice as expensive as consumer iPhone plans. For consumers, AT&T includes an all-you-can-eat data plan with the cost of the subscription; worth about $20. For business customers, the cheapest monthly data plan is $45. (Through the end of the year, the carrier will cut $25 per month off the plan for "qualified customers" if you sign a 2-year contract.)

What does this mean for AAPL or AT&T? Not much, unless we're missing something. We think the corporate IT guys will be sticking with RIMM's BlackBerries for a while longer.

Actually RIM or Research in Motion only has one M in it! Corporate users are typically billed at a higher rate. The iPhone plan is exactly the same as the RIM plan, but nice try anyway.

There's nothing new about this approach, e.g. Vonage has $25/mo residential vs. $50/mo small bus. Old fashioned landlines are similar (or were last I checked, years ago).

I guess corporate types will just have to "pass" for regular consumers!

Out of curiousity-- are the RIMM all-you-can-eat data plans cheaper? Hard to see why ATT would structure it that way.
