iPhone upgrade breakdown

Here is one to add. If you are an Edge copy of iPhone user and you upgraded to the new software, your iPhone just become a dog as it will be noticeably slower. Thank you Apple. And no, there is no way to get an older copy for my phone so I am stuck with current version.

I have an iPhone since December, I move to AT&T and get also a LG shine for my wife (I ask her if she wanted an iPhone but she didn't at that time), we get 2 yerars contract, family pack with Unity and all, we're saving money comapared to Sprint, our former provider, even thou we have 2 data package each ($20+$20). Now this is my question, I want to get me a new 3G 16Gb so I'll pay $299, now, can my wife use the old iPhone? I mean, can we just switch the SIM card from the LG to the old iPhone? I know I'll pay $30 instead of $20, but she already has 3G with the LG Shine. Then we just put the LG Shine on ebay.

"What I'm gathering from this whole situation is that AT&T is saying too bad to anyone that has less than par credit. Which is really unfortunate since during the keynote I was setting aside the cash for me and my wife's brand new iPhones..."

Maybe this is why you have bad credit.

Here's one for the group..So last year when 2nd gen came out at a lower price, all the early adopters got a $100.00 credit..right. So what's att/apple doing this time? I waited for the rev 2 last summer, and as much as I'd like to go 3G I probably will not.

That's lame........who da Hell would want iPhone 2.0 for three years if they already have v1.0........sigh

Even ATT realizes that the money here is not going to be made on making people wait, even if that model might eek a few extra dollars for them out of nearly new phones. They want to get an IPhone into everyone's hands as quickly as possible, because right now, the number of people who do anything beyond texting on a phone is pretty small. They want the revenue from streaming media, software sales, widgets, gizmos, doohickeys and other features, and they want to maximize the number of people with a device capable of producing that revenue - the IPhone in other words. It's lovely, shiny and people will sell their children for it. They aren't going to get there by selling Samsungs and sticking people with their 6 month old Sony Ericssons. So I wouldn't worry too much. If you have the clams, ATT will be happy to shuck 'em for you, pronto. They just have to figure it all out, corporate-like.

What is all the confusion about? take a deep breath and READ the memo that was leaked, assuming it is a real memo it is all rather clear and in black and white. It's still a month away, relax, it will all work out. I have also heard from a very reliable source at my local AT&T store that EVERYONE will be getting the "good" pricing. Let's see what happens...

Ok... this is starting to get annoying I am of course trying to get the official information regarding the GoPhone. Yes I know that in big bold letters it says here that it is not eligible. But I've called AT&T twice and my local Apple Store once and have gotten a "yes" from all three. Of course this is good news to me and I'm sure many of you out there.

It's just really annoying that there is no official section of AT&T's site that says wether or not it will work. I know there have been claims of official emails and memos internally from AT&T but we also get rumors like that for things that have never happened before.

All of this makes me wish I lived Where O2 as the provider. at least they are giving us a clear cut outline of what the iPhone can and can't do on their network.

Lastly... Does anyone else remember about a year ago when it was said that you had to have a contract for the iPhone. Now there are thousands, if not more, of us happily using our iPhones on AT&T's GoPhone option...

awes!

What's the procedure for upgrading from a 2G to 3G iPhone but giving/selling the old one to a family member who is currently on an AT&T plan. Does she call AT&T and say "I just bought a used 2G iPhone, set me up?"???
