The iPhone Goes Corporate

AT&T and the iPhone have gone corporate. Despite the opinion of many analysts, AT&T is now labeling the iPhone an Enterprise-class device. My question, as with my earlier AT&T SIM-only story is, why is this all that great again?

The reason I say this is because if you compare the data plans between the consumer and corporate plans, you’ll pay $25 more a month. Oh, wait, if you read the fine print, here’s the answer:

Qualified Corporate Responsibility Users and other corporate-liable users who activate an Enterprise Data Plan for iPhone by March 31, 2008 may be eligible to receive a service credit in the amount of $25 per month through December 31, 2008.

Waitasec, AT&T, that’s only until December, and I’m signing up for a two-year plan, right? Sigh. My guess is the reason for this announcement of “corporateness” may lie in the upcoming announcement of Lotus Notes on the iPhone.

At any rate, they needed something really exciting to talk about since there was no 3G iPhone at Macworld, right? Follow the links to compare the corporate and consumer plans.
