Correct the hot spot feature for AT&T requires the 2GB data plan ($25) and
then an additional $20 for the hot spot feature with 2GB of data so $45 for
4GB total vs $30 unlimited without hot spot/tethering.

I don't have iPhone to iPhone comparison but running the same speed test in
the same place on my VZW Android and my AT&T iPhone - AT&T speeds are much
faster.

No one has mentioned (or noticed?) that store.apple.com no longer is selling
the 3GS only options are iPhone 4 16 or 32 on AT&T or Verizon (4 models
total, 2 on each carrier)
