If you have v1 you are automatically eligible for the upgrade.

One of the videos mentions handing down the V1 iPhone but needing a sim card from the store to do so. I want to give my V1 to my wife who currently has a RAZR. So do I still need a new sim card or can I use the one in her RAZR? Will it have all her contacts on it still? I was thinking I can just get the 3G iPhone then come home and restore my V1 and activate it using iTunes without doing anything with the sim card, I guess I was wrong?

"Existing AT&T customers who are not currently eligible for an upgrade discount can purchase iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB model. Both options require a new two-year service agreement. In the future, AT&T will offer a no-contract-required option for $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB)."

so does that only apply to AT&T customers that do not currently have an iphone? basically punishing current AT&T customers by making them pay more...as opposed to people who are switching to AT&T for the iphone.

Okay, I have the V1 iPhone, but heres the thing, maybe around February, I bought a BlackBerry Curve, but for full price. I didnt pay the new 2 year contract price, so im not sure if I would be in a contract now for the BBerry or the iPhone. Also, now though, im using the iPhone with an iPhone plan again. So under those circumstances, would I still be able to get it for $299?
Thanks for your help, btw.

I think thats for AT&T customers without an iPhone already.

Sounds like you are good to go. The people who are not elegible are the ones without iPhones who do not qualify according to at&t. Everyone with a v1 and an iPhone account should be good to go.

If you are upgrade eligible and your account is in good standing, you will pay $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.

You have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required. Coming soon, AT&T will offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB.

Thats from AT&T's site. It says if you are eligible for an upgrade you can get that price. On my account online, it says I can get that price if I get a 2 year contract...

"This line is eligible for equipment discount pricing when you sign up for a 2-year service agreement. You can also take advantage of our no-commitment pricing option. All iPhone purchases require a 2-year service commitment."

So, is that a yes that I can get a new iPhone 3G for $299?

so im assuming our plan would be the basic $59.99 + $30 for my unlimited data, and then + $30 for unlimited family texts. (i had seen the unlimited family texting doesnt apply to the iphone??? but this post makes it seem like it does). so thats $119.99 which isnt too bad. hopefully thats how it works out but i wanted some re-assurance before i get to AT&T next weekend and they tell me different

I was told when i ordered my wife's phone that any phone on the family plan gets unlimited txt.
