AT&T screwed 3G owners

They say we can't upgrade until we are eligible which was 7/19 for me, so I was prepared to wait. Now they say we can upgrade friday. But they made every 3G owner who was not eligilbe miss out on pre-ordering. I hate AT&T more every day. The iphone is the only reason I stay with them.

I was not eligible either but I preordered it at $499.00 anyway. Then a few days ago I got the email that said they are refunding $200.00. I am very happy with how it worked out.

Don't feel bad, my friend. I ordered my upgrade via Apple on the assumption that I would have the device by tomorrow. Sure enough, UPS shows my package in Hong Kong. Kind of far from Frederick, Md.

Wow, that's cool Skim. I was just gonna wait a month and get it for 299. I wasn't gonna pay double when I could just wait a month. I guess I should've did what you did, but how was I supposed to know?

So existing 3 g owners can get it at 199 and 299? regardless of upgrade status? Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post?

If you were eligible for an upgrade in july, august or september of this year you can get it Friday for $199 or $299

Yeah, AT&T screwed 3G owners by making an unprecedented change in their eligibility rules just for 3G owners that will probably happen every year because of the whiners. How inconsiderate of them.
