that might be true but remember ATT pretty much confirmed today that the new Iphone will come with a new data plan of 20$ instead of 30$.

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.

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.

Yeah that's what I figured, people took big losses on the 2g's because they weren't subsidized
