AT&T's "commitment free" price for the 16GB 3GS is $549, with a $599 price for the 16GB iPhone 4.
Although I'm guessing there's still some carrier subsidy hidden in that price since commitment free != unlocked, and even if that phone is sold on eBay it's guaranteed to only generate revenue for AT&T and nobody else.

$549 for the 3GS. I absolutely shudder to think of what the iPhone 4 will sell for. I'm going to guess about $749.

Not sure the cost, but iirc, it was $880 after taxes for my wife's 3GS about 9 months ago. Actually, not sure how long ago, but it was a while back.
Despite how it sounds, this isn't anything new. They've been doing this for some time.
Edit: I should point out, I believe we also got the iPhone care thingy from Apple as well. Which makes more sense.
