I only know of one way to save money with an iPhone. Don't buy one. I know I'm getting older, but I could never seriously consider spending $300 or $400 on a telephone, even if it has tons of "bells and whistles" (some of which cost extra).
Despite the hype, it's *not* a good replacement for a camera, a computer, a browser, or an accountant.
But the real deal-breaker for me was AT&T's spotty coverage and poor customer service (if they couldn't give me decent service/coverage on my regular cell phone, surely they don't expect me to upgrade to one that costs 10x as much?)

The iPhone is not for everybody. And that's just the way I like it. Same thing for Macintosh computers - simply not created to be everything for everybody. If everybody had a Mac and an iPhone, then they wouldn't be special would they? There's nothing worse than the lowest common denominator (cough *windows* cough). Rest assured, there is something cheap and dreadful out there just waiting for you. ;-)

You can't be special without buying something from someone? And this is why I don't like Apple and their associated cult. I'd much rather have my "special-ness" determined by things that actually matter, rather than by my devotion to an organization whose primary concern is getting me to give them all my money.
If the iPhone is the phone that best meets your needs, then by all means get it. If you can save a little money by getting one, all the more power to you. If another phone better suits your needs, then get that one. (In my case an Android phone suits my needs much better than an iPhone.) But think for yourself. Don't just get a phone because someone tells you to.
