I got an iPhone 3G in AU on a 2 year $40AUD/Month contract.

At the time, this was almost half what I would have paid pre-iPhone. Before the iPhone, I would have had to get a normal contract, plus a data add-on. Monthly cost was close to $80AUD.

Didn't a similar bundling of services at relatively lower costs happen in the US?

Still more expensive than call and text only, but still not that expensive.
