AT&T announces no-commitment / early update pricing for iPhone 4

Where can we buy the no contract iphone4?

If you'd be paying &90.00 a month on a AT&T contract for 24 months (Which equals a little over $2000.00
and bought the iPhone for $200.00 plus the $50 dollar tax

You would save about $1000.00 if you bought the iPhone4 with the $599 dollar tag and got AT&T Go Phone service.
Note that you would have to cut the Sim Card to fit in the iPhone which is pretty easy and unlock your iPhone.
Whennn an unlock comes out

:D

If you are ready to pay full price, get one (or ask a friend) to buy it for you in the UK Apple store, it is open and you can use T-Moble and F**k ATT.

Hey, how does the 6 month early upgrade works? if y qualify to upgrade my phone to and iPhone 4 in October of this year, do I qualify for the 6 month early upgrade, can I buy my phone on Thursday for the standar price?

This isn't even about that, although I noticed that discrepancy, too. This is about the $399/$499 early upgrade pricing that anyone is supposed to be able to get going from one iPhone to another according to AT&T's own PR page. Now the systems are so hosed up today maybe what I saw was a glitch, but it told me in no uncertain terms that my choice was a no-commitment model and that's it when upgrading from a 3GS. If this is true then AT&T has lied through their teeth to the press and I have the evidence to show it.

Check this out what apple has to say? it is confusing.

Lies. Total lies. AT&T's not showing this "early upgrade" pricing for people who fall outside of the full-upgrade dates. AT&T's PR lies to us all again with a straight face.

My thinking was similar to #48 chris. My contract won't end until 8/11, so I am only eligible for the "no commitment" pricing - in other words $699 for the 32gb iPhone 4.

But if I cancel my contract and pay the prorated ETF (~$90 - $100), I can get the "new customer" price of $299.

That's a savings of $300. The activation fee may be $36 for new customers and $18 for upgrades, so maybe the actual savings is "only" $282.

Are my maths correct? It sucks to have to go through the hassle of canceling and opening a new account, but it's worth it for the savings.

So two weeks ago my iPhone 3G had a run in with a puddle, and has been working on and off ever since. In its place, I have been using an old Blackberry I had laying around. My full discount eligibility date is 7/23/10. So yesterday, I was excited because I thought I could go back to an iPhone a month early, and get the newest one too. Turns out, because I was on a Blackberry at the time the computers changed eligibilty dates, I don't qualify now. I get that. Its a computer, it does what its told. So I call ATT and ask who I can talk to in order to plead my case and get my eligibilty date moved up. I have been an iPhone customer for a year and a half, and only two weeks ago I had to change over. I paid 30 bucks a month for the Blackberry data plan, same amount of money as the iPhone plan. I figure it won't be too big of a deal. Well, after 3 hours on the phone with ATT, I was told by an ATT manager that there is not one person at the company that can override the computer system. It's just not possible, according to this guy. I'm frustrated, and don't know where to turn. Anyone have any suggestions?

so i am in the boat of the blogger where i have the 2/11/2011 upgrade date and i can get the iphone for $399 which is ABSURD considering i bought the 3GS on day 1 and almost everyone else that i have heard about has their date in 2010 that has the 3GS.

Anyways my question is do you think i should:

A- complain to the point of cancelling AT&T service to get the date pushed back to 2010 and then get the new iPhone.

B- wait until 2011 and just run iOS 4 on my iPhone 3GS (considering the new one will not be faster anyway) and wait until the iPhone 5?
