You didn't pay the $600 for the 3G so your contract is stuck for 2 years if I remember correctly.

The original iPhone wasn't subsidized - everyone paid full price for it.

so i cant just add on 2 more years, making my contract 3 years, and get the iphone3Gs subsidized?

Short answer is no, you can pay extra and get it, but you can't get it for the subsidized price.

i can sell my current 16GB white iphone 3g for $400, should i sell and buy iPhone3Gs 16GB white for $399? basically i will see no loss or gain but i will get a new phone and all new features.

I honestly do not thing you will get $400 for your current 3G. Old customers already have 3G and new customers can get a 32 gig for $299

Yeah, it can't be worse than working with bodily fluids though.
