what's the cheapest way to buy an iphone?

Another vote for Virgin Mobile. You'll pay more for the phone, but less for the plan.

PP again.

The iPhone will sell for $549 and you'll pay $30/month for service. It's available at the end of June, if you can wait for that.

I currently have Virgin Mobile and this seems like a great deal.

$90 a month? Holy cow. I've never paid more then $70 a month, although I've gotten ride of text messaging (realized its not worth it since iMessage is free) so it will be more like $60 or $65. I've have a lower data/minutes plan as well. Paid $99 for the phone (iPhone 4). I only wish they had a lower voice minutes plan.

You really don't need as much data as they try to sell to you as long as you enable WiFi. I've never gone over my 300mb limit.
