Current 3G owners -- will we qualify for the 3GS?

enigmanic · 06-08-2009, 03:11 PM

The AT&T prices stated for the 3GS are for "new and qualifying customers"... I wonder if that includes current 3G owners? Since I purchased the 3G last year, I technically have another year left before I "qualify" for an upgrade. If AT&T doesnt include current 3G owners, they're going to be missing out on a lot of buyers wishing to upgrade.

I don't think we will know about that until later as June 19th approaches.

it's in AT&T's hands now so who knows. They are already holding up on MMS and tethering

Yep, got mine in march and I would upgrade for another $200 or so, but not full price....

The bad news is already on Apple's site in the fine print...

"For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB). "

And I heard something before that the data plan will go down in price? I don't think that will happen, does anyone know anything about that.
My upgrade status still says December 2009

I bet they will hold us to the upgrade eligibility date.

Wow, I guess I will wait.

I just bought my 3G in April so not available for an upgrade for quite some time. My question are they going to give coupons for those customers that just bought a 3G for $199 like they did before.

I will have to be content with the 3.0 upgrade cause I am not paying those prices for the few added features.

Looks like the 3G buyers are SOL.

3G buyers are essentially SOL

AT&T probably can't justify that credit, as they did last time.. Nothing MAJOR changed about the phone that quantifies the need for it.. a better camera.. and video??

everything is essentially the same with the 3.0 update... yes?
