This is a discussion on I just got into AT&T and iPhone 3g 2 weeks ago, how should I proceed within the Future iPhones forums, part of the Apple iPhone category; Originally Posted by iphun Yeah you can renew it, but they might charge you some renewing fee. When a new ...

Yeah but if they compromise there they won't in any other way, but the price of the phone is chosen by apple and at&t subsidizes it so to let you get a new iphone with the subsidized price a few months after your iphone purchase and contract signing just will not happen. That is something that they will never let go of because they know you will end up paying it. I sat on the phone with the business people for hours as I have one of those accounts too and the guy told me that with any other phone they are allowed to give you it early(but not as early as you would be into your contract) but apple and at&t set rules together that prohibit giving it subsidized when you aren't eligible. I was two months away from my date, and they just would not help me out. They will not do it for you especially since you barely have had the phone you have now.
I have also heard of that price drop and I thought there was a plan behind that, but I am hearing now that the $20 one might be for limited data as the $30 would remain unlimited data.
i just heard from ATT that my early upgrade option starts on June 5th 2009, thats in a month, i can get the iphone 3.0 for 399(16gb) and 499(32gb) if they are the same price .
that means if i can sell my iphone 3g 16 gb for over 350 unlocked on ebay or craigslist, i can cover the price
Yeah that's the unsubsidized price, but as long as people are still willing to buy the old 3g's and it's in good condition then that will work perfect.
its in perfect condition, i got it only 2 weeks ago. screen is protected with screen protected and back with a case
and no the unsubsized price is 599 for 8 gb and 699 for 16 gb. the early upgrade brings it 200$ off
Duh, I forgot you only got it two weeks ago, lol. Yeah I don't think you'll get as much as you want because demand will go down for the old version, but that doesn't mean you won't get a decent amount.
iphone 2g 8gb still sells for 200-250 a year after it was updated with the 3g. so i think i can fetch a price over 300 for the iphone 3g.
Oh wow I just remember that right after the 3g came out the 2g was hard to sell at a higher price, but that obviously has changed. Yeah you'll probably be fine selling it.
thats because 2g wasnt subsidized, 3g is
Yeah that's what I figured, people took big losses on the 2g's because they weren't subsidized
