We should schedule some "Facetime".

I would look into one, but A: I have T-mobile, which is fairly decent, overall. and B: I have a pretty damn good plan with them unlimited on my Mytouch. Wife has a BB, can't stand the interface.

Lucky that you guys get to upgrade soon. Since I am an employee of AT&T, we are forced to wait until there is a surplus of phones available. I hope that will be before Thanksgiving, but if it isn't then I can only hope to get one sometime after the first of the year. If it does take that long I will probably go ahead and shell out the full no-commitment price.

I also have a Blackberry Curve for work and it is the bane of my existence. I hate that phone.

As much as I love my iPhone, you will never catch me buying a Mac. I can do so much more with a Windows based PC/laptop for a fraction of the cost. I do suggest them for my less tech savvy friends though that just need something that is easy to use. Most of them don't want to pay two times or more for the same things they can do with cheap Windows based laptop though. I am not really on either side of that debate. If you can afford a Mac and like the ease of use, go for it.

Will be pre ordering on the 15th and returning the 3GS i just got so i could get "Grandfathered" in with the unlimited data plan.

Very wise man.

[replicant_argent]

I should have about $12.50 saved in my piggy bank by next February, will this be enough by that time?

This should help answer the upgrade question.
This is the online chat I just had with AT&T.
Note that I know for a fact I am not due for an upgrade until October as my contract expires in January.

Please wait for a site operator to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Sahar Guy'

Sahar Guy: Hello Mr. Machin.
you: Hi
Sahar Guy: I will be glad to assist you.
you: BTW, I am referring to the new iPhone 4 to be released.
Sahar Guy: Can you please verify the last four digits of your social security number for security purposes?
you: XXXX
Sahar Guy: Thank you.
Sahar Guy: You are eligible for an upgrade, you will be able to get the new Iphone on 06/24 online or in At&T stores.
you: Thank you. Can you verify for friends, while I recognize each situation is different, what has been announced in the media that anyone eligible for an upgrade any time in 2010 can now get the new iPhone?
Sahar Guy: If you are eligible for an upgrade you can get the phone for $199 or $299, if you want to buy the full without a contract it is $599 to $699, the early upgrade is $399 to $499.
you: If you are eligible now or at any time in 2010? Many channels locally were stating when iPhone announced that if as an example, have an upgrade in November of this year, AT&T is allowing you to get the new iPhone for same cost as new customer with a new contract.
you: Allowing you to get it now when available on 6/24 that is.
Sahar Guy: That is right, on 06/24 you can get the Iphone, you can also preorder the phone on 06/15.

Make sure you guys are renewing not just signing a new contract. Word is they slipped in so very expensive data plan changes...

Not necessarily more expensive, it is just that the unlimited data plan is going away. If I recall correctly, the new data plans are 200Mb for $15/mo and 2G for $25/mo with $10/G overage. I believe that something like 98% of iPhone users don't go over 2G per month.

Good Q&A between cnet and ATT spokesman Mark Seigel

This upgrade site only lists the 3GS and 3G as upgrade options for me -- no mention of the iPhone 4 (and I am eligible).

I can only assume that if you are eligible for an upgrade to 3GS and/or 3G, that you could also upgrade to iphone 4 once available.

[KenS]

Just dial *639# on your current iphone. You will receive a text message back from AT&T with your upgrade eligibility

QUESTION : If I am upgrading from an iPhone to an iPhone 4, will I need to subscribe to one of the new data plans AT&T announced last week, or can I still keep the unlimited plan I had with my previous iPhone?
ANSWER : Siegel If you want to keep the $30 unlimited data plan, you can.
