    As everyone has told us this morning (Thank you guys, we love you!), AT&T has announced their price plans. Christina got a post up about this earlier today. As I dragged my weary Mountain-Time-based self out of bed (after a night of random fire alarms due to a wonky 9-volt battery), I decided to see what all the fuss was about. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that AT&T was slapping a $400 premium onto non-contract phones. In case you were up most of last night (like I was) and weren't reading that last line correctly, let me say that again: there is a four hundred freaking dollar premium for non-contract phones. Follow the jump for more thoughts about this development.
