    I thought you meant you were getting into the idea of getting one... My bad.

    There is loads of things you can do with it.. get on the app store 'there's something for everyone' download some games i.e fieldrunners, assassins creed, NFS... The list goes one.

    You could go through the jailbreak process and get your phone modified, custom backgrounds/ringtones- give it a personal touch.

    Can i ask why you bought the phone so close to a possible release date?

    You could sell the one you have now (if it's in good condition) on ebay or something. The price probably wont be too good but as i said it's only a suggestion.

    You only got it 2 weeks ago and I am pretty sure AT&T has a 30 day return policy for the plan and phone. It's up to you, but if you wanted to you could return the phone and cancel the contract using that policy. Just make sure you aren't restricted to a certain period where you can't re join at&t because you returned it and cancelled the contract.

    If you want to upgrade to the one they will likely announce at WWDC, you are signed into a 2 yr contract with the 3g you just bought and will not be eligible to upgrade for a while(and I mean a WHILE). When they release the new phone you will have to pay the full unsubsidized price, so that is why I said you might want to hold out for the new one and return the one you have now. It all depends on how bad you want the new one. Also WWDC might be in that 30 day window and you could wait to see if what they announce is appealing to you.

    according to AT&T i have a business account whcih means i have an early upgrade but its still expensive, its like 200$ off the fully subsidized price. I wanted to know if I can renew my contract 2 months after starting it.

    Yeah you can renew it, but they might charge you some renewing fee. When a new one comes out you will probably not get that early upgrade because the newest ones rewrite the rules to make you pay the full price. They probably offered you the 3g so cheap because they want rid of them for the new release.
