Its because the average iPhone user isn't using data intensive apps. Which is probably the reason AT&T changed their plans to make iPhone more affordable for people who just use email (200 mb per month).
I used to average 450MB per month because I listened to AOL RADIO for 3 hours a day.
Now, with the XM radio app, I'm using 150MB in just 2 days on iPhone 4. Fortunately, I have the unlimited data plan which AT&T let me keep when I upgraded.
Even though $30 a month is alot, for what I do with my phone, I'm definitely winning over those people who are new users stuck with 2GB per month or less.
Even apple's 2GB for $25 a month is better than that. Honestly, I'm not doing the math and I'm not counting MB... I GOT UNLIMITED DATA for $30 a month.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.

@nuclearopts Vodafone 3G Service where I live:
For 26$, you get 500MB of data you can use as you please. After that, it's 44 cents per megabyte.
:D

@HikaKao -- yea, that's pretty rough... I use 300MB+ PER DAY. I'm glad I kept my unlimited plan.
