Apple tends to be closed-lip about stuff until it's already out, so I don't think you'll see anything until the official release. What we do know is that the monthly subscription should be cheaper than normal, since the phone price is subsidizing the subscription (reverse from how most cell phones work).

After the iPod, I'm not ready to count out Apple just because it seems expensive. Sure, the Shuffle exists now, but the first iPods were around $500 (IIRC). To me, it seemed like it was too much and they would have been better off with a flash-based player around $100-$150 (again, like the Shuffle is now).
But somehow, they discovered a market nobody knew about. So I'm not ready to dismiss the iPhone just because it seems to expensive.
Additionally, the iPhone doesn't compete with normal cell phones, but with Smart Phones. Smart Phones exist already in that price range, and they all suck horribly on the UI front. For that matter, regular cell phones have been getting increasingly sucky UI for each new generation. I've been waiting for Apple to get around to making a phone. I just wish they were releasing one on the lower-end of the market. Like the Shuffle.

When the iPhone comes out there are going to be 3 types of people who'll have it at launch:
1. The stupidly rich 2. The stupid people who bought it for as a status symbol but cant really afford it 3. The theif - clever enough not to buy it but steal it from people type 1 and 2
After that, i'd say give it 3 months it's price will come down, i've heard of lots of asian manufacturers who are knocking up their own versions which will cost less, so apple will need to bring their prices down. --------------------------------
