Without having any real range of price stated, if you don't want the  
phone because of the extra phone plan costs, you can still get an iPod  
touch starting at $299 or free if you are a student getting a mac  
right now. Soon they'll be introducing the new iPod Touch it seems, so  
that may drive prices down further. It's certainly no replacement for  
the $30 universal remote, but there are many remotes that cost just as  
much or more. The advantage is you get an iPod as well. The  
disadvantage is it doesn't have any IR capabilities.
